5gp to 1M [Merchanting Progress]

I got bored while I was botting my member accounts so I came up with a challenge for myself. I wanted to see if I could take 5gp on a character with no skills or anything in the bank and then turn it into 1M using the Grand Exchange/General Store. Feel free to try it yourself and post your progress here too!

Nice. I am way to lazy to do all that though. I wish you the best of luck.

 

Good luck, I'm sure with the experience gained from this you may be able to keep it up into more cash.

 

wow, a good challenge.

Goodluck on your goal

 

Thanks everyone, it is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was inspired to do this after hearing a story about a man trading a paper clip for a house over time.

 

OMG i have read that story! yh man good luck with that (red paper clip right?)

 

Nice work.

I can never be bothered to do that - good luck with the rest!

 

shut niceeeee

 

Haha after reading that story I was tempted to do that on the Official RS Forums, like a wooden shield to a party hat or something. But decided against it because I'm too lazy, people wouldn't offer anything me thinks and its probably in violation of some stupid rule (and I think someones probably done or tried it before, just guessing there).

 

Nice progress so far. Good luck for the rest of your goal. Keep us updated.

 

Thanks for the support everyone, I'm off to bed.

 

nice, i was about to think about doing the same thing

 

ur insane if u like a challenge enjoy it but ur insane!

 

That's quite a goal you have set yourself. Good luck!

Very interesting, and I'm impressed at how fast you already made some money from that. Very impressive indeed. Good luck.

 

Wow I wanna do this now lol
