With the recent shop update on Runescape many shops have had dramatically lowered stock. Due to this update, many of items in shops have increased in price due to high demand and low supply. In this guide I will tell you how you can use this to your advantage to make a nice profit or just collect supplies for yourself.

 

A lot of items bought from shops can yield a great profit and it doesn't take long to buy anything at all. Certain stackable items that require no more than a minute of your time can be sold for more than you would think. I recently ran all around Runescape checking every shop I could think of to see what items could be sold for more on the Grand Exchange. Using this guide, you can turn your small cash pile into a GIANT one with very little effort and almost no skills involved. It's great way to make some extra money if your are a beginner or just someone looking to make some extra cash.

 

Before you start you will need a few things:

 

1. A starting cash pile. You can't buy things without any money. :)

2. Lots of teleport runes/jewellery/knowledge of how to get around would be helpful as you are going to be doing a lot of it.

3. Optional: A beast of burden might help in some situations, but in other occasions it just gets in the way, use with discretion.

If you have any shops that I might have missed that are profitable, please let me know.

 

Questions, comments or concerns? Feel free to let me know on this forum or in game.

 

 

*****

Note to self: check ape atoll rune store

check lumbridge chest

check keldagrim

check rellekka

organize guide better

add pictures

add approximate run times

Add a total approximate profit for the overall use of ALL shops. With just a quick run over I got around 2m.

 

Sick guide. :thumbsup:

Thanks! I will add everything up as soon as I have all the shops and items that I would like to include in my guide.

I recall there being a shop in Keldagrim that sells vials.

 

Though my memory is a bit shaky regarding it, though.

I completely forgot about Keldagrim lol! Will check it out tomorrow! Thank you!

Also, I know it would take a while to do - but have some people do test runs for you, and give approximate times to complete each shop. (With respective summoning levels of course, and those without summoning levels at all)

I was thinking about that, but it felt like too much work lol :roll:

very nice, will use if i get some time to do this. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbup:

Nice guide Giga :thumbsup:

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm gonna go to sleep in a little bit and will work on this some more tomorrow.

an interesting idea.. had no idea u could make like 350k from trading 1 shop o.o

 

would be interested in knowing how long these things take to buy though.. i imagine banking 2000 limestone/bricks could take a fair while

I was looking to get hold of some cheap runes and lazy profits and I completely miss the gap between shop price and ge price on waters, earths and deaths.

 

Any chance you can mark the stackable items? Just to make it a bit easier to glance at and see the 1 trip items.

 

Just curious about the slayer stores are they all separate or linked into one store?

Runes- Yeah I didn't realize that waters and earths were so high either.

 

Stacks- I'll go in and mark stackable items tomorrow

 

Slayer stores- they are all linked together, if you buy broads at one store they will be sold out at every other slayer store

rellekka stores with fremmy boots 3

Hey giga!

 

Theres also a rune shop in Ape Atoll which has 1000 earths and waters in there

piscatoris bank/shop is a great place to get harpoons last i checked

 

probably other goodies there too

warriors guild giga

beast.. awesome idea and guide so far

Wow, 120k profit for 6 clicks ar a slayer store??

 

Highlight stackable things like Water Runes and those bolts, most people will only do those.

Cool guide - didn't know about the slayer equip prices.

 

Didn't see lumby cellar chest in there at all though?

I couldn't find any broad arrow heads and unfinished broad bolts at a Slayer store. :s

You need to unlock the ability to make them to buy them, or at least done smoking kills I believe.

 

Really nice guide, now make a farm run style list which shows the order to go to them, teleports needed, which are most profitable to do and which to skip etc then it will be AOW. :thumbsup:
