So, is it just me...

Or has herb cleaning pretty much become a money losing way to get herblore xp as opposed to making money like it used to? At least for the last few days, I have found it almost impossible to get any herbs for prices that I could actually sell for a profit. Even going as low as irits, everything either lost money or was nearly impossible to buy (Torstol and Wergali are impossible to buy). I know that, in theory, most should be profitable, but it's almost impossible to get most grimy herbs at med price and just as difficult to sell them at med. Has this been going on for a while, or is it a new thing? And is it likely to stay this way?

I was making 250-400gp profit per cleaned dwarf weed and lantadyme about two weeks ago. Keep in mind, just because the GE won't buy/sell your herbs instantly doesn't mean that they won't be sold... it just takes patience.

I know that is the case, but it's become much more difficult (at least it seems so to me) to get an order through that will actually profit without leaving it in to sell overnight. I also don't have the cash pile to keep training while I wait to buy at a reasonable price (13m at the moment) so that might be a factor.
