5gp to 1M [Merchanting Progress]

cownap · Apr 3, 2011

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.

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.

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).
