Welcome to my first topic.

 

 

 

I'm going to teach you some good merchanting "tricks".

 

First some "Rules":

 

 

 

1. Never spend more then 1/3 of your cash for merchanting.(this is for preventing losing all your money.)

 

 

 

2. Always stick to your price! Never pay higher then your offer and never accept less the you asked.

 

 

 

3. Double-check every trade screen. We don't want to get scammed!

 

 

 

 

 

Now, let's get started.

 

 

 

All you need is ~ 40000 gp and lvl 30 smithing.

 

 

 

 

 

Go to the draynor village bank and take ~ 13000 gp in your inventory, Nothing else. We are going to double your 13000 gp by buying and selling lobsters. Go to karamja and check the local shop, if you're lucky the shop is selling lobsters for 45 gp each. When this happens buy 10 lobsters and check the price again. If the price is higher then 115 gp stop buying in the local shop and run to the fishing spots. You can buy lobsters for 100 to 125 gp each. (people who are there for training will be glad to see you because you pay more as the local shop.) If no one sells for your price, simply switch worlds. If your inventory is full, go to the bank of draynor village.

 

 

 

repeat this till you have spended the 13K and you will have 100 maybe 200 lobsters. now it's time to go sell them! walk or teleport to varrock and switch to world 1 or 3. sell your lobsters near the west gate and the entrance of the varrock west bank.

 

 

 

lobster price: 200 - 230 gp

 

 

 

Use this method untill you have made 40 - 50K from your 13K.

 

 

 

 

 

Go to world 1 and buy coal and iron ore. ( I prefer to mine my own iron ore).

 

Buy 200 coal and buy/mine 100 iron ore. Simply smith this into steel bars and sell them at falador bank (world 1 -3)

 

 

 

coal price: 150 - 200 gp

 

iron ore price: 75 - 100 gp

 

steel bar price: 550 - 600 gp

 

 

 

so we now have 60K. Repeat this till you have enough money.

 

 

 

Ofcourse there are many other methods but I recomance new people to use this methods because they always work.

 

 

 

If you have more money you can also buy seperated armour parts and sellin the set for more.

 

 

 

FAQ:
