junk trading?

[schmidty]

i hear this term thrown around a lot, but i have no idea what it means. i stopped playing right before runescape started limiting trade.

Junk are items that are in reality worth less than they sell for on the grand exchange. Because jagex has set a "floor" price on these items, they can never be worth less than x on the ge, and in your trade window. On the flip side, there are items that are in reality worth more than they sell for on the ge. They reach the "ceiling" price on the ge, but nobody sells because they would be selling for much more than they could be. Instead, they get around the ge limits buy selling directly to players by saying: selling item y +2m junk. This way, the buyer is paying above the ge price (the real price) and the player selling is getting the price he wants, and only sacrificing his junk. examples of junk are willow logs or coifs.

 

let me know if you still dont understand

Basically, it can be:

 

- When a seller of an item adds additional items that have little individual value or worth in order to increase the amount the buyer can pay to buy or borrow the item.

 

[For example, selling a whip for 4m by adding the whip and 600k worth of unstrung bows, while the buyer pays the 4m in gold]

so how would i get the junk items?

Just going around doing your everyday Runescape business. Usually, actually making junk(fletching Unstrung bows) is slower than making money, so it isn't a practical thing to do.
