this topic is irrelevant. whether you buy stuff for items and then come back at a later date to sell them for equal value in gp the gp wil still have gone down. it's not like your earning/losing anything. lets look at current issues. such as gas prices lets say you bought gas 8 years ago for 1.19$ a gallon and lets say gas never went bad which it does by the way. anyways you sell the gas today for 3.53$ (current prices in phx) anyways even doing so if you wanted to buy another gallon of gas you would still have to pay 3.53$. so in the long run you gain/lose nothing. inflation happens deal with it. there's not much way around it. the only way this would work is if the economy reversed. which is what the democratic party thrives off of since this defisite. but the way rs is set up.. that will never happen. quote me.

u could invest in trimmed armour sets...the price of full saras for example, go up pretty fast.same applies to zammy. the more valuable the armour is, the more money u'd make. of course, if theres deflation of the armour prices, u could just wait for it to go up again.
