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?

hide.

lol just put ur chat onto hide and watch for people buying or selling what you want.

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:

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.

world 2 is far worse :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just use hide so you can see who is trading you.

dont go to world 1..... or do word effects to make your words stand out

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.

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

I would recommend switching world.

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)

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.

alotta people seem to have this problem i think...

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,

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>

I go to World 63. I always find what I need.. (ok, like 90% of the time I do.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a thing for World 63.

Use the board on tip.it :P

Forums aren't a bad idea either.

i like to use forums. your title is...intresting. it made me kinda sick. :-X i don't like thinking about vomit.

Lol, well, that was the truth when I made this post. All the text and stuff was making me kinda dizzy and nauseous haha. I guess I should've put something more related to the content, but it seemed to attract attention this way haha.

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

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.

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
