Hello,

This is my method I used.

Buying Sharks 800EA on forums and sell 900 at world 18 edgeville bank.

1k sharks
You pay = 800k
You make = 900k
Profit = 100k

5k sharks
You pay = 4000k
You make =4500K

OR

Super sets..

Buy of forums 8.5k ea
sell world 18 edgeville 10kea

My way was a little 'noobish' and tedious, but its a start in merchanting.

I looked in world 2, where people were buying/selling mass amounts of things. I noticed that many runecrafters would want pure ess, at 110 each.

I knew i could buy it at varrock east bank on a less crowded world for 90-100 each.

That made me 10-20GP profit on each essence, depending on the seller, which doesn't seem much, but when you get sold around 500 ess at once, thats buying it for 45k-50k, and reselling for 60k, making me more than 10k profit.

It doesn't seem like much, but hopping from world to world 30 mins, got me around 20k ess, buying at mostly 90 each, which made me 40k.

Just look at skills that require alot of 'input' (for example, ores for smithing, or bars even. Or maybe logs for firemaking, or fletching) and look for the buying/selling price on a CROWDED world, and even forums, and think to yourself on how much profit you are likely to make, and how much of the object you are likely to get on a less crowded world.

Remember, think of the BIG picture. Don't think that 'oh, 30 mins is only going to get me 40k'. If you get workers for you, take time talking to them, about bonuses maybe. Stacking up 5 or more workers in different skills, collecting materials from them hourly or daily, stacks up BIG money.

Hey, I should write a guide.

Yeah, i try to keep things laid out as best as possible. If it wasn't so late, and I wasn't going to sleep soon, I would have included some pictures.

Thanks for the rep in advance, if you can.

Maybe because most people hate you.


Also, i merchanted yewlongs + nats whilst high alching them. I gained about an extra 1k alchs in the process of 4k alchs, i got some good deals though :D

Ooo yes, I forgot to mention that when I was alching in seers bank, I also merchanted (uhhh, that may not be the correct phrase)

Hop from world to world after about 10 minutes in each, buying bowstrings at 150 each. You can get ALOT (seriously, many newbs make their first mill doing bowstrings, and will most likely sell at 150 ea)

Once you've collected atleast 1k of them, hop to w2 and sell 200 ea. A handsome profit.

And again, you can collect a bunch of workers for you, so whilst your spending your 'hard' earned cash, they'll be beavering away for you, and will sell you you later on, or when needed.

Same happend to me, I've still got 1k left what I'm trying to sell for 850k no one will buy, what ever you do dont try easters I bought one thinking well if I don't sell this for prfit with in the next hour I'll just sell it for what I bought it for, now I canrt even sell it at 9.3m, so i guess im stuck with it till easter where I either lose a load of make a load. :(

I tryed the shark method took me awhile to sell 3k.

If you can make prayer pots I suggest doing this.
Say you are going to make 100 pray pots.

1. Collect 100 of snapegrass yourself. (This is very easy go to waterbirth Island)
2. Buy Ranarrs at 7k each.
3. Buy vials from herblore shops for an average of 12gp then fill them with water.
4. Make your potions.
5. Go to edgevile on a fairly busy world and sell for 8kea. It may only be 1k profit a time but the more you make the biger profit.

Heres the maths,
100 Ranarrs x 7000gp = 700,000gp (700k)
100 Vials x 12gp = 1,200gp (1.2k)
Total of 701,200gp to make 100 prayer potions.

Then sell them for 8k each in edgevile bank on a busy world.

100 Prayer potions x 8000gp = 800,000gp (800k)
800k is the amount of money you will end up with.

Heres your profit;
800,000gp - 701200gp = 98800gp (98.8k)

The longest part to that method is finding enougth Ranarr weeds.

Goodluck!
