Merchant Tips 'n' Hints

[Thomasdl543]

Okay So I'm a low level merchanter, and the point in this post is everyone can contribute hints, but I'm hoping this topic will help merchanters!

 

 

 

Well, first off, you don't have to be a member to merchant! I am a member, but I've yet to use a members world/items to merchant. Atm I'm merchanting Coal and I've a few hints for anyone hoping to get their 50k into a 1m. (2 days ago, I had 30k, now 600k lol)

 

 

 

Okay. Go to World 4, East Falador Bank!!

 

 

 

Hint Number ONE:

 

 

 

Under your chat screen is a Chat Toggle button. If you toggle his to Hide Mode (three clicks), then all you can see is trade requests, and this is VERY handy when the chat is flicking past your eyes. :-k

 

 

 

Then, whenever you receive a request, simply click open the chat request in your chat area, and you can easily start the trade screen.

 

 

 

Hint Number TWO: Okay, so your in World 4. The best way to grab someoneÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s attention is to use eye catching chat mods. Mine for example is

 

 

 

"cyan:shake:!!!!!!!!!!buying coal 170ea (name)!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

The shake effect moves the !!!!'s like crazy, like a magnet effect, and I seem to get way more requests using that method. Remember to includr your name!! So you've caught their eye! Good!! alright, so your going to want to buy as much coal as your budget will allow for 170ea. This is a very good price, you will only make 10gp profit per coal, but there's so many n00b merchanters who are buying for 150 and selling 200, that you will in over the market.

 

 

 

So you've bought as many as possible. Now, load up a NEW runescape window, and get to the world select screen. A good way to refresh this page, is to select the second arrow when ordering by number of players online. This will leave World ONE 1, down the bottom. Keep clicking this arrow until you get to World ONE. Can take 2 minutes, but you'll get there eventually. Now, login to World 1, (could take a few attempts). Now, using the same chatting methods, sell your coal for 180ea. Hopefully, a level 875 will come along and buy for 180-200 each. If not, just keep shouting:

 

 

 

cyan:shake:!!!!!!!!!!selling coal 180ea (name)!!!!!!!!!!.

 

 

 

After selling all your coal, you should have made some profit. Although it's little, it's more money than you had before. And this time round, you can buy more coal, therefore can make more profit. So, head back over to World 4, which will be simple because you DIDN'T close the window!! :P

 

And leave World 1 open too to return.

 

 

 

So, that's how I made 300k a day! And hopefully, I can start merchanting nature runes or the like! With more profit! Ah well, hope you enjoyed the lil guide! So remember the 2 hits I've given. And add your hints too!!!

world 3, and to a lesser extent world 5, also functions as a good place to stock up on materials

 

 

 

changing the color of your text from yellow not only makes it more noticeable (as you said), but it also makes it stay on the screen longer :)

 

 

 

turn on your private chat so that buyers and sellers can more easily find your exact location

 

 

 

bring something to alch while you're waiting for trade offers

the way i make all my $$$ in rs in simply buy vials from agrounge and re sell them for 200 each. You wont get many buyers but if you have 1k+ you can make and easy profit. And the price of water filled vials and vials stay the same at 121gp each wether there is 0 or there is 50!!!

[tmaxxcar117]

i meant at 12gp!!!!!!!!! 12gp!!!!! not 121gp.. lol
