3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion

[Dexek]

I also got a white partyhat yesterday. Took 20 hours at max after getting an offer in seconds after the update, but it finally came through. I think it rose 1.6M today. :

[84300zxturbo]

Can't buy santas max price :wall:

[Zaaps1]

Might as well change the title to all rares lol.

 

 

 

I bought 2 santas and 2 masks before when I couldn't buy a purple. Now I'm glad, although I'd still rather have the purple.

[Calzo]

 

 

 

Ftw ^

 

 

 

 

 

Bought min this morning , 25.5 m profit.

[Bini]

^God damn! Nice!! :o

 

 

 

I sold 8 Green masks + 4M worth of junk, still have some Red ones though.

 

I think soon enough the un-wearables (Easter, Disk, Pumpkin) will be bought out because it'd be stupid to not buy them out.

 

If I had money in the billions I'd buy as many as possible, since the rare market is so sensible there would be a price rise and people would hook on it and buy more of them. .....

 

Sadly I don't have close to that much money to play with. :P

 

 

 

Oh, and no I'm not just saying this to get people to buy them because that'd be stupid because I don't have any of them. I'm just speculating, cause it's fun to speculate and sometimes be right. :ugeek:

[Calzo]

I predict ammy will be bought out again. :-#

[Master_Smither]

I predict ammy will be bought out again. :-#

 

 

 

Ammy has a +15 mage bonus and plate and legs are some peoples dream armour. As I said time and time again they arn't done just yet when they become a bit higher they will fall like rocks because noone is their right mind would pay will pay more than 60M for some bonuses. People tend to try to make the best of their money.

everyone go sell your divines now before they crash :ohnoes:

[Gigatiran]

The market is pretty weird atm, I'm considering buying 3rd age, but I don't wanna buy it and have it go down a lot. Also, I am unsure if I should sell my blue phat...I really can't see it going up too much.

that pic was faked

[Returnofmic]

It's times like these that I'm glad that I don't actually have the money to buy any of these things, just to prevent me from losing even more. :

 

 

 

And YES, that picture is FAKED.

if you really want the armour like me, and tommy and others have, you will buy it now while you can, but if not, i would let it stabalize if you just want to make money with it.

Another 11 m k ?

[K112]

 

 

 

 

 

Another 11 m k ?

 

 

 

Dude, you just made my total net worth in less than a day.

 

 

 

The catch 22 of runescape these days is that in order to make money, you need to have excessive amounts of money already (or epic amounts of luck, but i'm sticking wiht the first for this argument). For exalmple, but im not isngling you out, you spent ~107m on 2 amulets, and then resold them for ~118m, a 11m profit. Your briefly satisfied, but chances are, before long you'll do it all over again and make even more money.

 

THAT is why markets crash and THAT is why people hate merchenters.

 

The underlying fact of Runescape is that everything these days requires some greedy merchent to keep it running.

 

 

 

That is the main reason we are in a global economic crisis, so will people please learn that in Runescpae it can't do much good. I'm not saying that the RS economy will collapse, because it's only a game after all.

 

BUT pretty soon JaGex will get wise, put in some impliments like they did with RWT, and then you'll be on the floor crying.

[Kenneh]

That pic i can confirm is 100% Fake. I still own both of those divine shields atm, altho when i get enough i'll be trading one in for an elysian.

[Bauke]

Merchanting has nothing to do with markets crashing. Merchanting is the process of buying low and selling high, and it takes a certain bit of skill to do it. What you refer to is mass price manipulation due to mass buying or selling items. People hate merchanters because they're jealous. They don't have the skill to make money with the simple process of buying and selling.

 

 

 

It has nothing to do with the current economical crisis as well. That's like TOTALLY unrelated.

 

 

 

(Note that I do not merchant at all)

Fair enough, and i have nothing against you.

 

 

 

I prehaps wasn't clear in my writiing, by Merchenting, I would define it as a massive group of people such as A C I D Y (if that's still going?) who regularly manipulate the prices of items to squeeze every gp possible out of the public, then dump that item, causing it to crash, leaving it in ruins.

 

And then move onto another item.

 

 

 

A sole merchenter I have less against, as they do have to have copious amounts of skill to make their money without the "help" of 60 clan members.

Actually markets crash when noone buys anything. People hate merchers because they have more money than them , people hate manipulators because they missuse the ge for their own personal gain.

 

 

 

And what do you think ive done wrong ? You sound to me like your saying using the ge to buy low sell high is wrong ?

Please look at my post above yours (2 above this) to see what i was getting at.

 

 

 

Clan merchenters are scum.

 

I don't hate solo merchnters, if you were to put them on a moral scale, they would be in the grey area, not right, but not exactly wrong.

 

People that buy low/sell high i'm not sure, because at the end of the day, that doesn't sound like it takes much skill.

 

(forgive my naieveity with that as im not sure about it's mechanics)

You need to know when the item will rise , i didnt just get *lucky* with those merches , i watched the market and saw the melee peices going up in value, so i bought the plates and then next *valuable* 3a with the ammys.

 

 

 

Plus solo merchers do nothing bad for the economy they just go along with the normal price wave.

 

 

 

Try solo merching and tell me it doesn't take skill ;)

Fair enough then. I can't argue with that.

 

I would try it myself, but i have about 3m in cash, and roughly 11m in cash + items.

 

So i don't think it's worth the risk.

 

 

 

I still maintain that Clan merchers are scum though.

 

They're right down there with PJers and free loaders (but thats a different argument).

There is no argument. F2P'ers are not even close to being like these people so don't start talking crap about F2P'ers cause I'm [bleep]ing tired of it. Keep the discussion about what the topic is about.

 

 

 

Clan Merchants are no good, no. They buy out things that can not be produced, for example: Gems, Barrows aromur/weapons, Treasure Trail items etc.

 

And since they can't be produced not many of those items come into GE, that is why the clan buy them out.

 

After they are bought out and the price has rose enough to satisfy them they sell. Here comes another bad thing with these clans.

 

The leader tells everyone what to buy but just before telling them to dump, the leader dumps his stock and the clan members buys it. Then the leader tells the rest to dump. Some win, some lose. Either way it could be called scamming or pyramid scheme. (I don't klnow exactly how a pyramid scheme works)
