To Sell or not to Sell

Alright, as we all know gold ore is falling in gp by the min..

 

I've aquired roughly 100k+ gold ore, and wondering should I sell for the current price 226 (max) or should I wait for it to maybe rise?

 

Really dont want to see it drop down to below 200

Seems more like a Help and Advice type of post to me, but ok, you're new so it's understandable.

 

Welcome to TIF :)

 

I'm going to say that it will level out in a few weeks, but the bonus xp weekend probably played its part in the disruption. So if you don't need any money quickly, keep it, because overall it's better.

I dunno, it might not go up so much. Honestly I'm just going to superheat my gold ores.

Oh thats right, its Runescape. We dont play skills to have fun. We do it to sit in a bank and grind away, seeing who can do it the longest.

It isn't going to rise by much at all for quite some time. It wasn't the weekend that caused the price to drop. LRC is just flooded by bots, and a few months back, gold ore was worth significantly more than coal. While coal hasn't changed in value very much, gold has steadily decreased in value, and is now much less valuable than coal, due to the huge supply coming out of LRC. Until the botters switch to coal (since its got a higher GE value), gold won't rebound by much at all.

 

If you don't mind taking the time to do it (and it will take a significant chunk of time to do so, mind you), you can take all that gold and earn free* smithing/crafting experience (and magic too, only at the cost of a nature rune per ore)by making gold bracelets and selling them to the rogue in Varrock.

 

*I say "free" because you have the materials on hand. If you chose to sell them though, and take the time you would have spent smelting(or superheating) and then crafting them, and instead spend it on making money, you could then buy the same experience with more efficient resources. Up to you.

 

TL;DR

Gold won't be recovering to its 300gp+ values for quite some time.

I dont see it rising, and not a ton (If any). Might as well sell them and invest in your character some one way or another.

Superheating gold is a good source of smithing experience and is the one of the reasons I'm mining gold in the first place. I don't care so much about the crafting experience because there are better ways to get crafting experience; the gold bars will probably sit in my bank.

Sell it. You can use the money you get to get better returns than waiting 2 weeks for it to rise like 20%.

 

This.

 

If more than 30% or so of your wealth is in there, you may as well liquidate it while you can so you can continue making more money.

O.O

I was aiming my reply at the OP, but yes, there are far better ways to level crafting. Faster, more efficient ways, for sure. If you're in the market, those gold bars could serve as junk, of sorts.

 

The reason I quoted your post, though, was to support your statement, that it's probably not going to go up much.

Oh yes I realized that but I was just throwing more opinions out there. The crafting experience is somewhat negligible I feel. Granted I'm not really one to talk with my low crafting.

If your intent was the smelt it for the xp anyway, keep it and get 99 smithing. Gold bars are rising, so you'd end up ahead if you, in fact, intended to use it rather than merchant it.

It's called the "Grand Exchange," and not the "Grand Alwaysatyourservicetodoyourbidding,regardlessoftheneedsofothers," for a reason.

107,992 to 99 cooking

96,545 to 99 fletching

24,699 to 99 smithing

I would indeed be happy if someone stopped spreading cancer all over this place. Even though it tends to be funny to read, but not as much when someone who demands people to make way for him comes along and decides to call others arrogant.

The price drop had nothing to do with the xp weekend, this guy sums it up pretty much exact. So until the price of gold gets so low that botters realize it's almost not worth doing anymore, and switch to some other form of resource, gold will remain dirt cheap for a good amount of time. So I'd suggest just using it to raise crafting. If your not interested, then 2nd place would be to just bury your dead, sell the gold, and don't mine any more of it :D
