Dante's Guide to Quick Flipping

[Dante Smokes]

Hey everyone, a lot of people have been asking about ways to make money so i thought I'd share one of the ways that I do. 

You don't really need much to start, when i returned to the game i had around 5M and made it into 30M in a week. 

 

Quick flipping is basically buying the max amount of an item/items and then selling them for profit. To do this, there are only a few things you need to do first.

 

1. Test the margins

Margins are the max/min amount people are willing to buy an item for, and some items have wider margins than others (more gp between max/min price)

 

To test this, I buy ONE of an item i believe to be profitable at around +10% market price to ensure it buys at max, then selling it for around -10% market price.

This will give you your margin:

 

 

You can see here with frost dragon bones, the margin is about 300 per bone.

Since Frost dragon bones have a buy limit of 1,000 per four hours, you can potentially make 300k per four hours off of these alone.

 

2. Buy/Sell the Items for the right price

Since here the margins are 16,501 and 16,799, i will buy them for about 16,505 and sell them for about 16,795 , just to ensure that I start getting the items.
 

3. Profit! 

 

(for the sake of the guide i only did 109 bones because that is  all that bought in the 10 mins it took to write this all out )

 

Thats really it guys. my method of doing this might not be the best, but I have DEFINITELY profited from this.

I would fill all the GE slots, then come back to them and sell them once there done, and just repeat!

 

I love this method because no matter what i'm out doing , i know im always making at least 300k /hr .

 

 

Other materials limits per four hours include:

 

Ores 25k

Bars 10k

Logs 25k

Herbs 10k 

Fish (raw) 20k

Fish(cooked) 10k

Bones: 10k (except for Frosts)

 

Thanks everyone, i hope this helps!

margins are that low now?

 

when i did that sort of thing it was 150k-250k per item on smaller 10m items and 1m standard on bigger stuff like ags. margins per flip were standard 1-2%.

 

If you're gonna spend your time with this you need multiple buying accounts to avoid lockouts on good deals.

Good guide for people just getting started I'm going to add a more in-depth guide down here for another flip potential:

 

First: 

Req. ~10m+

 

When I have between 10m-50m sitting in GP, I merch using the forum's post "God Wars Items v5" (Just google pc 101, click the first link to forums). Here is a quick link to it:

http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?17,18,257,65045816

 

So basically what happens on this thread is people post all of the prices of bandos,armadyl,subjugation, and a few other items.

It's easy to use, you buy the items at the low prices, and sell near the higher prices to make really easy money. I usually buy all of the bandos items, then subj, then armadyl. It's quite easy to build up your cash stack using this method.

 

Example:

Bandos Helm 5.1-5.5

 

I would buy bandos helmet for around 5.1m, probably like 5140k, then once it bought I would sell it for 5440k. That's a 300k profit and it's extremely easy! Usually I buy items before a slayer task, then sell them after the slayer task. 

 

Second:

Req: 50m+

 

Same as first, but use the forums post "Nex and SS" and do the same thing using torva/pernix/virtus. It's just as simple as the GWD items but much bigger rewards, I usually make around 700k per item. I like this method too because they have a FC you can go to "Nex and SS" where people post the items at the current time, so you don't have to risk the item being outdated. 

 

This thread is a little bit harder to read, so i'm going to break it down here for everyone with an example:

T 30~/<60/41-2

P 11-2/21-2/<20
V 24-5/24-5/24-5

 

Now these items are posted in the order:

Helm/plate/legs

 

~ means you buy ~500k of the price.

If i was buying Torva helmet, I would buy it at 29700k, and sell it around 30300k. 600k profit.

< means you want to buy it for less than the price.

If i was buying Torva plate, I would buy it for 59200k and try to sell for around 59700k. 500k profit

-  its basically the same as < as far as i know.

If i wanted to buy Torva legs, I would buy 41200k and sell for 41800k. 600k profit.

 

I hope this helps some people find items !

Awesome, I'll try it out

[Catt0fast]

This is what I bought for:

 

and this is what everything sold for (bought before I went to ZGWD, put up to sell after first trip, was sold after second)

 

 

Total profit:

1750k

 

practically no work at all  

[Lord Skyhawk]

unless the have changed the limits, You can buy the limit and sell right back to reset it as if u havnt really bought it. I used to flip 10k+ frost bones every hour and like 2k glories an hours for quick cash flipping. Previously if you bought the item and sold it back the limit never affected you

 

[Catt0fast]

I'm like 75% sure they removed the ability to do that, after you buy an item you can no longer re-purchase it from the g.e for another 4 hours. Ahhhh the good ol day though

    ......                .......            ......      

my only comment is that I have never held more than 5 mil and that was like    so, I may have to ask you for a coaching session dante >.> thanks a lot though... this could definitely be a game changer
