The Merch Tip! How to know when an item increases/drops!

This is more of a tip then a guide, due to the fact that the grand exchange is highly unpredictable *excluding when merch clans take a hold of it* its hard to say when an item will reach a peak or when an item begins to rise, the best way to find out how is w1 (f2p) and w2 (p2p), you see the grand exchange on the home page, isnt dynamic and only updates 1 every day (on average) so it can sometimes be too late as you will see an item which has increased on the exchange page, yet you can just sell it for med, however by going to w1 or w2 and watching the people sell or buy the item thats the best way!

HOWEVER this does not mean if someone is selling an item it has dropped, or if someone is buying an item it is rising, to truelly test out wether that item has increased or dropped, wait and see how long it takes them to buy/sell that item, if someone sells an item straight away then obviously there is demand for that item, however if you see someone struggling for hours trying to sell an item then obviously there is NO real demand for it

HOWEVER dont assume 1 person is controlling the g.e most items if they do increase or decrease need a demand, so dont just assume cause 1 person is struggling that means it has dropped, wait a little bit, scope the traders, look for buyers


Hopefully this little guide/tip helps you know when an item is dropping/increasing

 

There is many guides like this

 

That's some pretty useful advice for beginners.
nice work.
