noobnoob Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Purchase a mask set for about 2.4 mill two years back. Kept it in bank for 24 months and now it is worth about 10 time more without doing anything. Isn't it a good investment ? If i continue to keep it for another 2 years.. will it appreciate to 30 or 40 time more ? Isn't it a good piece of investment ? Rare are about the only good investment in RS Member items like trimmed amour (tradeable with f2p) and abby whip (p2p only) are no where near such great investment . Do you agree ?

Guest Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Anything which isn't a rare is not a good investment. Anyway the better thing would of been to merchant the set every couple of weeks and bought back so that you would of had alot more money than what you have now. But anyway nice work :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets_3ekout Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Member items like trimmed amour (tradeable with f2p) and abby whip (p2p only) are no where near such great investment . Do you agree ? that's because there not meant to be a investment, they're there to help you train. if they were then the prices wouldn't be dropping every week. but grats... i guess.

noobnoob Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I am a down to earth person although some might say i am greedy. I have miss the 'partyhat' investment boat but i accept the fact that I am not the early batch to play this game. During the early days of my game, I do not have the spare cash to invests into any phat. A big salute those who have the forsight to have invested into phat and are still holding on to them. Seems that new player to the game of rs might forever never have a chance to get a hand on such good investment. Sad ......

soda711 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 good investment. I wouldn't be suprised if the price for a 1 mask set was like 300m in 5 years because prices for rares keep on inflating. My advice: save that mask set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMazeOfDeath Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Should have bought 2 sets. One to wear and one to sell (eventually) *edit* and I <3 cabbage. so green, and leafy, and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarritos Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 id prefer to keep the rares, sure they may raise in cost as inflation spirals out of control, but i find that they are priceless to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobnoob Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 The last set i brought cost me 6.1 mill. Till now i have not got enough money to collect another new set. Is there really any other way to make money in RS other then investment in rare ? If you have 100 mill to spare into investment, will you buy a phat or a few mask set ?

Bubsa Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 It's so rewarding to see that a player's wealth is not decided by skill or achievement, but by single items a trained monkey could buy.

noobnoob Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Monkey see, monkey do ...... Nobody force the any monkey to buy anything. Nobody ask any monkey to contribute any posting. One single monkey cannot never stop the world from turning. Investment is about taking some risk in exchange for a hopefully better return. Jadex could always change the rule to teach all the monkeys more tricks on investment.

highlanders Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 That is 10.8m profit/year so far. If you have decent stats you can get that much money in a single week. And when you buy rares they are stuck in your bank for such a long time, frozen and un-usable money. This kind of investing is useful only if you have enough money to buy in bulk amounts. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonpost Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 If you think that's a good investment... A little bit after the phat crash, I bought a white p hat for 4 mil flat. It's now worth about 130 mil. Earlier, in rs1, I had bought a mask set for about 900k. It's now worth 30 mil? Those were the best dang investments I ever made. Muahaha. :D EDIT: Approx a 3,100% profit. Runescape Name: "unbug07"Expand your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that if I buy a party hat, doesn't matter which colour, right now and let it sit in my bank for a year, then come back in a year's time, I would have made millions. Possibly tens of millions and maybe hundreds of millions. You call that skill? At least when you level you actually have to physically do something. This is how much you all raised for charity.

AMazeOfDeath Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm not talking only about rares. The ability to see a profit in a transaction is a skill that not many people have. I don't call holding rares for long periods of time a skill, earning enough money to buy one is the real skill here. *edit* and I <3 cabbage. so green, and leafy, and good.

noobnoob Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 I am not here to boast anything or showoff anything. Those who get a phat and hold on to it makes tons more then me. I am also not asking anyone to invest into rare and neglect all their skill training. I personally collect those mask sets while i was doing my smithing skill. Now I am the 3rd pure F2p smither in top 21 listing. But this again do not prove anything; anyone who spend enough time on this game can get that 19 mill smithing exp. But the trick is to get that 99 skill with limited time spent and limited resources available as a pure f2p and still end up with several mask sets siting in the bank. Detemination, forsight and having lots of friends do help in making it happen faster then most player. Nothing great compare to most P2p but do stand out abit among most f2p.

noobnoob Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Have you not heard of someone who make a loss in their rare investment ? They got to sell when they urgently need money or for some stupid reasons. Now I call that poor money management or lousy investment.
