My Easy Money Method

Well this is my first post here so I thought I'd contribute something before I start learning from others in the tutes and trying out the free scripts.

For this idea you do need a fair bit of cash already. I started this with 20+ mil.

Basically all you need to do it merchant gold ores. Why Gold ores?

-They're price is relatively stable
-High amounts are mined by macro's (as well as some legitimate players)
-High amounts are demanded by smithers.

When buying these ores, you don't automatically go okay, buy lowest price, sell highest. That's what all the noobs are doing and its a waste of time.

Here's what I do.

Click the lowest price, then go 5 coins up, the section between that price and the middle (market) price will be your profit per ore.

If you're ore isn't buying, buy one ore at max price to find out the cheapest price in the GE. I'll show this in an example.

E.g. 1) You buy 1 gold ore at max price.
2) You recieve 1 gold ore plus say 19 coins back.
3) Therefore the cheapest gold ore selling in the GE is equal to the Highest price minus 19 coins.

You should try to make 10-20 coins profit per gold ore (over 20-50k ores).

Eventually you'll come to a point where you're buying suddenly stops, this is not due to you're price. This is a limit that Jagex has imposed on the GE to stop people creating monopolies.

As usual, the rubber chicken running Jagex overacted and the limit is too restrictive. E.g. You can only buy 100 yew longs every few hours.

You can still make some easy free money however, I usually make 500k-2 mil per day. I set up my buys, log out and when I come back later that day most of the time my transactions have gone through.

Good Luck

Just sell 1 gold ore for the lowest price.

E.G. lowest price is 440 coins for 1 ore.

You will most probably get say 460 coins.

460 is therefore the highest paying price on the GE at that time.

Course if you get only 440 coins, that is the highest paying price on the GE at that time.

You may find sometimes that you need to leave items overnight, remember there are a lot of other sellers selling at various prices, many are skillers and just want their money right now so they will sell cheap.

Patience is the key.

So right now gold ore=
Minimum: 420
Market: 452
Maximum: 474

Im not totally positive on how you do this. So you buy lets just say 1k gold ore at minimum.

Spent= 420k

You buy one gold ore at max. You get the ore and 14 coins back. So this means that the highest price gold ore is selling for is 460. So you then sell your 1k gold at 460 coins?

Profit= 40k


So is this how the method works? Just example numbers to see if i got this method down.

I'm sure theres something better than gold. and technically, smiths don't need it.
