About junk trading...

[ice age mage]

Ok I don't get it so you use useless items instead of cash. Can't you sell them to the general store or the GE eventually and it'll be same as using gold?

ok uh i hate answering these questions daily

 

 

 

player A has a sword that he is selling for 10m

 

 

 

player b will buy that sword for 10m but the ge price is 8m so player A has to add 2m of junk

 

 

 

sword+2m junk traded for 10m

 

 

 

that junk can be anything or worth to literally junk

 

 

 

some people who think rune javs are junk dont think they alch for 374

But that junk can just be sold...

But that junk can just be sold...

 

The thing is, no one buys it.

 

 

 

Here, i typed this on another post and he got it instantly.

 

 

 

Lets say, you want to train summoning, and you don't want to buy shards from the summoning guy for 25 each because you are going to buy a lot. Lets say 10k shards.

 

 

 

Well, some people buy too many shards when summoning, and they want to sell it because they aren't going to summon anytime soon. So they sell i on the forums for 21 each.

 

 

 

Now, how are they going to do that?!, they still trade for 25 each to players.

 

 

 

So here how it goes:

 

 

 

You get:

 

10,000 shards

 

 

 

Seller gets:

 

210k

 

and 40k worth of junk

 

 

 

Both sides are happy, you just changed all your junk into money. And the seller got rid of all his shards at a resonable price. The seller now has a choice, save up his junk for when he wants to buy stuff worth over their price on the grand exchange, sell something on the street worth over its price in the G.E., or he can just drop the junk because it is unsellable.

 

 

 

Junk would be...

 

-Willow longbow (u), tons of fletchers make these until they can do either maple or yew, no one wants them because they are virtually never used and....junk!

 

 

 

-Willow logs, People cut willows to power train, yet so many do this that there are maybe billions of gp worth of willow logs on the G.E. and no1 buys them. They are at their lowest of 18 gp, and will not move anytime soon. I have heard people say that they left 10k+ willow logs on the G.E. for 2-4 weeks and have only sold around 2k willow logs. little demand, huge supply. While easily, you could use those willow logs to get a discount on your shards!
