Mh1456 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 One of my friends has gone from 50m to over 1b in a few months and become a master Flip Merchanter. He does it honestly tho and doesnt manipulate prices. He doesnt even play that much, just goes on to do his flipping and then does events with our clan. Wish i was rich @_@....

wioneo Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 By buying it from the slayer, and re-selling it, he is taking money that otherwise would belong to the slayer, or the buyer. What economic benefit has he provided in return? Absolutely nothing. Players should not make money from other players without providing some benefit in return, and as long as the Grand Exchange eradicates the need for a middleman, flipping items is as bad as manipulation in that sense. Personally I disagree with this completely. The flipper is capitalizing on the impatience of others(not lookign at this specific example). to buy at a notably low price or sell at a notably high price, patience is required. People who are unwilling to wait supply the cheap items and pay the exorbitant prices. that transaction will occur whether or not the person on the other end has the sole intention of reselling/buying that same item at a different price.

Tim Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 anyone who says fliping is easy is a downright liar. tried my hand at it last night, I lost money because the item I chose rose that day, then dropped overnight. <_< Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 ^ You learn with experience. I failed about 50% of my flips when I started teaching myself. Eventually you learn what works and what doesn't and why. Then it's easy. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stingman Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well sir, you are a pessimist. Who never buys the drinks. They wont say anything to your face about it. But they know. Pessimist or realist? I repeat, explain the world today. Heck, if you are more comfortable, explain RS today. It has been COMPLETELY changed from the beginning. How many of those changes have been in response to scanners, hackers, and cheaters? Agree with everything you said. Took the words right out of my mouth. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assume Nothing Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ^ You learn with experience. I failed about 50% of my flips when I started teaching myself. Eventually you learn what works and what doesn't and why. Then it's easy. And I get no credit because? I told you to flip items, although you didnt really beleive me at first. Meh. Lol forgot this is a dead thread - I think for now, flipping is going to be a bit harder than previously, because things don't buy and sell as easily (need moar inflation). I dunno, another influx of teh Geepeez would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torlen Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Flipping is old. I did it with nats back in rsc and dmeds at the end of rsc/beginning of rs2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
