June 4, 200620 yr Haha, well anyways, when the construction skill came out, i was like, woopdeedoo for members, so i continued cutting my oaks (being bored, paying less attention to my character, plus i needed wc xp and oaks for fletching) my friend pm's me and tells me the construction craze going around. He also tells me that oaks have inflated up to 200. Grabbing my interest, i see the opportunity to make money. I head straight to varrock to sell my 15k oaks. Bam! 3 mil in my pocket in less than 10 minutes. A week earlier i was thinking of getting rid of them for 20 each but my instincts told me to hold on to them. Third day after construction was released, oaks dropped down to 100 each. Great, so i hurry along to draynor to buy logs from desperate noobs. Spending over 2 mil (the amount i had at the time) in oaks, at about 75 each, i find a buyer. He buys them for 100 each, i think to myself....easy money. Fourth day, who knows how long the inflation was gonna last, i make a bold move to double my money. I bought about 3 mil in oaks(50 each) from noobs. Funny thing is, most of them were trying to sell them 150+. I stuck around and they stuck around, desperation hit them, they cracked and sold for 50 each. Haha i thought, i win again, ok now time to sell. I pm my buyer and he tells me that he'd buy for 80 each because of decreasing oak prices. Oh crap i think to myself, this has got to be the last round of buying and selling for me before i lose any money. I head over to varrock hoping to find some1 who would buy my 25k oaks in spite of many other sellers in the area. Then i see the purple letters appear in my box...this must be some1 sent from the great saradomin =p. Yes! sold! An easy 7mil in 3 days. Well thats my story, Im sure theres many of you who are reading this who are thinking to yourselve....i blow that pocket change of staking. Well anyways this was just a time when i saw opportunity and took it (being a bit drained on cash =p)...if that means anything to any1. Well thanx for reading and happy scaping. =p Disregard females. Acquire currency.
June 4, 200620 yr nice story, good luck spending the cash 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st)
June 4, 200620 yr You are super lucky you did what you did, but I guess its pretty hard to screw up too badly in only 3 days of oak selling. I wonder how many other people else had a big break like this? Goals: 80/80 Range, 75/90 Strength, 77/85 Attack, 64/76 Fishing and crafting 31k natures (o.O)

June 4, 200620 yr That's what my friend did, got 3 mil in 3 hours. Probably got like 10 mil by now :o "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

June 4, 200620 yr People also did that with steel bars right? Yeah, Steel bars rose to about 800-1,000 coins a piece for awhile. Not really sure if those prices went back down to 500-600 each or if they're still way up there. Combat LvL: 98Status: F2P

Sold 20k nails for 3m. All that first day of construction. Second day I was feeling confident and cut 1k oak logs and made it into 1k oak planks. Sold all for 1.5k each. 1.25m made in another day?
