sanday79 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I just went on world 1 and tried to sell some lobs in west varrock. There's so many people there it doesn't even make sense! You can't tell what anyone wants for more than a split-second and there don't seem to be many deals being made, surely there's a better way to do this than stand in the same place as 1000 other people and shout? Anyone have recommendations for how to filter out the crap to get to the messages that apply to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. V. Devnull Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Something tells me sanday79 has tried this already, but to no avail. sanday79, I'm afraid you're stuck due to lack of functions in RuneScape. Sorry. :( Best I can suggest is to jump to another world with a population of 1600 or less. :wink: ~Mr. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overture18 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 You can always go on the forums, look for who's buying/selling, and PM them. Aslong as you have a decent amount, I'm sure the P2Pers will world hop. Wha.. What..? Where am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 world 2 is far worse :wink: just use hide so you can see who is trading you. Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicycleboy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 dont go to world 1..... or do word effects to make your words stand out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanday79 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hmm, I think I'm going to take the most popular suggestion and not use world 1 anymore, though it is a good market. A calm stomach is more important than saving a few thousand bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legionwizard Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Also other advise, get yourself some permanent or regular interested buyers, so you always have some contacts to sell your gear to, comes in handy. Runescape is all about compromises and small trade businesses (don't know why I'm saying this stuff, but heck). Or as they would say in my language: Grote ventjes, kleine percentjes Achieved quest (07/08/2009), woodcutting (28/06/2010), attack (21/07/2010), strength + constitution (07/08/2010), defence (26/09/2010), summoning (13/01/2011), herblore (03/03/2011), cook (31/08/2012), firemaking (01/09/2012), magic (08/09/2012), prayer (16/09/2012) and ranged (29/10/2012) capes.

SF_Rmond Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I guess your f2p. Hide option and if someone is trading you either add them or ask how much (if your selling runes or something) Runescape ingame name: Rmond (on the forum this name was already taken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanday79 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Yeah I think the problem was that I was looking for people who were buying what I was selling, which is not good for your eyes lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeo Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 If you are selling things. Say your name after your sentence. Like... "Selling cooked lobs 250 ea! -*name here*" This has worked HUNDREDS of times for me and people find me instantly. If you are buying something, then look for their name after the sentence. Most merchanters and people that sell items in bulk use this method. Heres what you do if they dont have their name. Stand on the space that you see the words pop-up, and then right click that space. *Note, try to get the highest angle on the camera view for most accurate right click*. Then if there is only one person on that space, trade him, if there is two, try the first guy, if it is the wrong guy, try the second guy. Hope this helps, Honeo Training my pure!

sanday79 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thanks for all the advice guys, it's been a big help. I just went back to try and merchant some stuff, and I tried using the birds-eye view and it's a lot more helpful. Thanks again! =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, well, that was the truth when I made this post. All the text and stuff was making me kinda dizzy and nauseous haha.

Goobore Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I just went on world 1 and tried to sell some lobs in west varrock. There's so many people there it doesn't even make sense!... surely there's a better way to do this Other MMORGs have solved this problem by having a formal selling zone with searchable "For sale" items and listed prices. So, Jagex would have to revamp the game to make is easier for players to buy and sell. ...Anyone have recommendations for how to filter out the crap to get to the messages that apply to me? Hide, add sellers as friends and private message them. Or, just use the Tip It market forums to find buyers and sellers. Fundamentally, this is a Jagex game design issue. The best solution is for them to do something on their end. All we players can do is to try and find work-arounds. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaddd Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 lol just put ur chat onto hide and watch for people buying or selling what you want. That pretty much explains it. Keeping your chat on 'Hide' makes everything a bit easier, and add a seller/buyer while trading and set public chat to 'Friends'. Once the chatbox slows to a stop with hide, everything goes a bit smoother. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XwitchKingXx Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 A trick I did in classic is, Tell all your friends that your buying X/Selling X and if they see somebody buying X or selling X, give that person your name.. I usually got everything within an hour. But I can't do that anymore because I only have two people on my friends list, and only one of them is on anymore with me lol. But I suggest you do that, it worked a lot for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
