What are your thoughts on grand exchange merchanting?

lol if you had enough you could just influence the price yourself and make a huge load. It would take many mil though. That would be awesome though, lol.

 

 

 

A lot of people do have enough to do that, but Jagex introduced limits a long time ago so its impossible to buy an item out on your own now. Before that with the right amount of gp it was easy to buy millions of items in a day.

I didn't think there were limits like that - the ones I know about wuold be fairly easy to work around.

Merchanting is only good when it benefits you, and when it doesn't it isn't so good. ;)

 

 

 

It's one of the top money making skills in Rs, shame to see though that a few of the merchanters have no skills or a total below 1400. Imo, Clan/Group Merchanting is ftl, but solo is ftw and I see it as a personal skill, but some people take it too far with manipulating the prices.

 

 

 

If merchanters did more with their money instead of show it off then they'd be more looked up to, instead of being pitified by other people.

skills may be > money but you need money to have skills. btw merchanting should be a skill :D

Skills don't hold the value that they used to though. Most of them, anyways.

most skills have cashback ways though... spend 172m on 99 summoning.. you will be able to solo god wars bosses such as zilyana for say 3 hours.. guaranteeing at last 7m ( saradomin sword) per trip.

youhavenoidea about godwars, do you

I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"

walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come

It depends.

 

 

 

If it's a clan buying out items forcing a rise then they are just full of fail.

 

 

 

If it's riding the flow of an item with natural price changes they thats means your very smart and have merchanting skill and I am fine with it.

 

 

 

So price manipulation=failure and is sad

 

Riding a flow of naturalchanges=epic win

solo merching is much better than clan merchanting to be honest. Also, price manipulators are just sad.

There is nothing wrong with merchanting IMO.

 

 

 

Its just buy low sell high.

 

 

 

 

 

It's stuff like pump and dump that frustrates me.

If it is just for you to earn money GE merchating is awesome. Much better and more effective for everyone than standing outside the Varrock bank in W1 and W2, shouting the same thing over and over again.

Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak

Merchanting - good

 

Manipulation - bad

 

 

 

Its as simple as that. The people who call themselves "merchants" who are really manipulators should be banned. Real merchants who just buy low, sell high, and invest without manipulation are fine by me
