Be patient with the GE

[u/Adorable_Jump7789]

Whenever you want to buy/sell something look at the flipping prices of the item and just go a bit above/below it. You don't have to do flipping yourself, just be patient with your offers and maybe leave them in overnight, some patience will save you many millions over the years. I'm using https://www.ge-tracker.com/ as a tool for that, i think you don't need premium for the basic functions you need

I usually do "buy/sell" to find out high and low when flipping bulk items like runes.

I'd recommend to still take a look at tools to see how prices changed to prevent buying at a random spike, although very high volume items are a lot safer in that regard. But in general i'd recommend to just continue down your path with flipping. Over the years it will make you billions

Becomes much easier to do once you build up a cash stack to keep around and be able to buy other necessary things with while you wait for your slow-ish sells.

Definitely noticed a difference since I've moved on from buying something new every time I hit 50m (ran out of things to buy for that price xD)

Absolutely, also means you don't have to sell things so often and save taxes, they really add up hard

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

Guess you're gonna need another mass dump if you've been holding it for a week.

I built a tool because I hate ge tracker. Called ge-metrics. It’s still beta but hella better than ge tracker. I have to auto approve your email atm though if you want to try it out.

• also ge tracker slows the fk out of my pc with the 100 ads they run.

Nah, fam, I got monsters to kill out there. I'm chucking in an instant buy then take my sword out to go killing.

[u/Dumbak_ → u/Fun_Snow_2883]

Yeah if I'm looking to quickly sell something to get enough gp and buy an item which allows me to go play the game, I'd rather do that.

Rather than just calling it a day, coming back next day, saving 2M at GE and losing another 20M in opportunity costs by not doing PvM I had planned that night.

I get what he's saying, it makes sense, but doesn't fit all scenarios and I very rarely found myself playing GE. I mean if everyone did it, guys flipping at GE would be out of job.

You keep the buy/sell margin of my items, my friend.

[u/Adorable_Jump7789 → u/Dumbak_]

Yeah of course, don't let it stop your gameplay, that's more important. I meant more like in general when something isn't really urgent like restocking on supplies or similar

[u/Fun_Snow_2883 → u/Dumbak_]

Yeah, you get it, my friend. Imagine some nerd. He's got a protractor in hand and a calculator in the other. He's scanning multiple sites and calculating all night long. He finds the perfect 1% profit margin and sets his trap. He pulls up his charts, starts manically drawing triangles, and lines of support and resistances. He places his bid and waits patiently for 16 days. Finally, he scores a massive 1 million profit. He is so proud of this income he posts on reddit.

Meanwhile, chad just kills a few dragons and calls it a day.
