Could someone fill me in: What is junk trading?(You are able to get more money than in G.E. for an item? - how?)

For example, you got yourself a Cat mask from a Treasure Trail. The G.E price of a Cat mask is lower than it's street price. If you want to sell it for it's street price you will have to add items to up the price while trading to someone. The items used are mostly junk.

 

 

 

What is "junk"?

 

 

 

Junk is mostly a by-product of skilling. For example you're getting 99 Fletching with Maple(u) longbows. Maple logs sell for 36g each and maple longbows(u) for 144g. But there is one problem with the (u) bows. No one will ever buy them! So the maple (u) longbows are junk. They are popular junk also, much people try to sell them as junk.

 

 

 

What can I use "junk" for?

 

Well for trading and rising the price to the Street Price.

 

But a second thing is "Lending".

 

I personally buy or make junk to Lend Out my Bandos Godsword. For example someone wants to lend my Bandos Godsword for 5 Hours. For example I ask 30k Per hour. That makes 150k(5*30k). But we don't have a trade limit that high. This is where I, the one who is lending it out, add junk. I balance out the trade by adding 150k worth of junk.

 

 

 

 

 

Hope I helped, and if you need to know more, just ask here!

Junk has become another form of currency, to put it simply...

 

 

 

Junk is something which wont sell via the G/E and has no market value. There is no demand for these items thru players, for example willow longbows (u), they're in abundabce but nobody ever buys them. These junk items are added with an item, to sell it for a higher amount of cash.

 

 

 

E.g

 

 

 

Player 1 is selling Catmast (trade price via g/e = 500k)/(Market value = 11m)*

 

 

 

Player 2 is buying Catmask

 

 

 

:: The trade ::

 

 

 

Player 1 offers Catmask and 10.5m worth of un-sellable items, i.e junk.

 

 

 

Player 2 offers 11m cash

 

 

 

Both players accept, and player 1 can then use that junk to buy another item etc.

 

 

 

Hope I've helped also :)

 

*Prices are fictional, I'm not actually sure of the G/E value, and market value ;)

Thanks, I understand how it works now:)
