Basics Tips for Making Money in Runescape
OK I will keep to the general theme of merchanting to make money in Runescape. If you don’t know what merchanting is then a quick explanation is you are the middleman between buyers and sellers. How do you make money out of being the middleman? Essentially you buy low and you sell high, buy in small quantities and sell in high quantities. Why sell in high quantities? Well in a nutshell the reason you can charge a higher price for items in large quantities (assuming there is demand for large quantities of that item) is because there are people out there that would prefer to pay a bit extra for Runescape items rather than waste what can be hours looking for loads of different sellers of the item. So essentially you are making your money because you’re providing people the convenience of selling in bulk. Now unfortunately much like in real life takes money to make money in Runescape with merchanting. Why? Because the basic premise of merchanting really requires you to be able to stock up on items and when your money is invested in items you can’t take advantage of other good offers that might be going on, and often some items take awhile to sell, especially if you are looking for a good price and this means that your money will be tied up in these items for quite awhile and if you money is tied up that means that you ability to merchant is effective no existent. That said a good merchant really tried to merchant items that they can buy and sell quickly so that they don’t get caught in this very trap.
