I'm not sure if this would work, but I was thinking of an idea and came up with this.
By the way, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned. Sorry if it has.

I haven't tested this yet, so I'm not sure if it will work. But I don't know how it wouldn't either.


The goal: Transfer a huge amount of GP from one account to another.

In the tutorial below, Account B is attempting to transfer to Account A




The Idea: Take note that when I say "the item", I am refer to the item or items, depending on the quantity.


Step One: Find an item that no-one is currently buying or selling in the grand exchange. The quantity doesn't matter. (Check this buy trying to buy it at max.. Then trying to sell it at min).
Step Two: Sell the item on Account A for the highest amount possible.
Step Three: Buy the item on Account B off Account A.
Step Four: Sell the item on Account B for the least amount possible.
Step Five: Buy the item on Account A off Account B.
Step Six: Repeat steps 2 - 5.


Would it work? Is it possible? Is it already taken?

soo hard to read at ridiculously big size…

i had to copy paste into notepad

Sorry. Didn't realize. I fixed now

Does it work benjaa?

Finding that item is the trick. It's been brought up before, but an item that nobody uses is nearly impossible to find. And if people would start doing this, the few items that can be used would soon be taken up.

Nobody buys hardleather bodies and I think I'm one of the few selling.

Think up some items ppl

I think no1 buys rune (h4) armour?

idk

Bronze daggers, bronze warhammers, bronze sq shields, black chainmails, wooden shields.

Cazax, are those tested?

No, but i don't think people buy them.

What about the smithers?
They would have to sell em right? Every now and then.

Lets say you find some item that nobody ever buys/sells that is worth 25gp (lets say, for example, a bronze scimitar). How would you go about getting 1m from one account to the other? You'd need to acquire 40,000 scimmys :eek:

EDIT: @ Cazax , But noobs sell them :p

Good point… Any ideas anyone? There must be a solution.

I dont see how noobs selling them (probably at min price because noone wants them) would fuck this up. You would still be getting the job done. All you have to worry about is people buying them…

Which brings up my original point - How do you get thousand of this item?

Which brings up my original point - How do you get thousand of this item?

Just some thoughts…
1. Buy the amount of item in the ge and wait for ages until sold.
2. Use a bot to collect it.
3. Make a bot buy it from a shop? Like general store or something? If it's there.
4. …??? IDEAS PEOPLE?!?!?!?!???

I sell them too.

Any ideas/??

?

Yeah, it's been brought up before, but a good method nonetheless, if you can find that item. In the past, I've found that low-level unstrung longbows, (mainly maple), absolutely no one wants :)

Thanks griff, I'm going to go make sure no-one is using them, and then trade to my account perhaps.

The GE also limits how many of an item you can buy/sell at a time, which makes this really hard to do unless the items cost a lot, and if they cost a lot, people are usually buying/selling them. The best kinds of items here would probably be similar to those you'd try to use market control merchanting with.

Limits? I've never heard that they have limits. Do you know the specific details of the limits (eg. time, quantity?)

Sorry about this… *bump*

Forgive me please.

It works, but i don't think you can keep selling/buying it on each account. I tried it with some junk items, i did it once, then i tried to sell/buy it again, and it wouldn't work :(. You would have to trade a lot at a time, and that means you need a lot of gp on your autoed and main acc.

Example : Main Account = Account A, Autoed account = Account B
1. Find an item that no one is selling (You can check buy buying one of that item at max)
2. Lets say that item is 2,000 at mid, and 2,200 at max. (Make sure there is a good amount of gp from mid to max)
3. To Find out how much you will be transferring subtract the mid price from the max price. (2,000 - 2,200= 200 gp transferred per item)
4. You want to transfer 200k to your main. Buy 1k of that item on Account A (1000*200=200k)
5. Have Account A Sell that item for max. Have Account B Buy it for max (But Account B will need at least 2.2m on it since you are buying 1k of that item to transfer.)
6. Have Account B Sell back the item to Account A for mid price. (Account B will now have 2m, instead of 2.2m, and Account A will now have 200k more)
7. I don't know what the limit is to buy/sell an item but once you do it, you can't buy/sell that item for and hour? i don't know (if someone could check for me the limit you can buy and the time you have to wait to trade :confused:)

This doesn't work with 2 people buying and selling to each other, I wonder what would happen if a third account was used?

Eg.
Account A = main account,
Account B = autoing account,
Account C = another random account.

A buys 1k of item for 1M.
A sells to B for 1.1M.
B sells to C for 1M.
A buys from C for 1M.
Then could just continue steps 2-4?

If anyone wants to try this with me PM me your MSN.

it can't be much gp at a time though because of the stupid ass trade limit

You'd be trading it through the GE so there would be no limit.

Woah.. I think you got something there :eek:

~Kryptic

Im not sure the GE is reliable enough for that… Sorry.

I might try it later, i'll tell you guys if it works.

~Kryptic

Well you could always use unstrung bows, no one is ever buying those and they sell reasonable prices (for higher bows they do at least) This would work but the items would get more into demand if this happened, more or less

Gearsnare/Kryptic..

Most accounts have like 5-20k trade limit? and especially autoers.. so this is the same as just giving someone 5k.. without buying stuff and risking it :/

Yea, but lets say you buy 1000 of that item, and the gold transferred per item is 200gp. That would be 200k. ;)

~Kryptic

If you were to attempt this what would you use as the item? and why not just transfer 5-20k every 15 minutes, to me that just seems a lot easier.

The type of item you can use to transfer are items that no one is selling or buying at Max. That way you can sell the items at the highest price to your army, then have them sell it back to you for medium. Read below.

What u suggesting used to work, surprisingly.
From day 1 when GE came out people tried to communicate own accounts through GE in hope to make some money. Of course, Jagex never intended it to happen. You was always buying from random people even if it didn’t match your price (GE gives some money back).

There was one way and it worked for quite some time but only for high sell orders. It was first largely used on runite bars & ores. Runite, because it has the best cap value.
People put a sell order for the max price - min few gp’s 10-50. They let it soak in GE for several days. Afterwards they logged on another account and put a buy order for that exact same price, only known to them. You could actually see the number of items being sold directly to the buyers second account as they typed them in, 100, 200, etc. People shifted 100s of mils from each other accounts with 0% risk and 0% loss. As you have guessed, it was a major manipulation technique for popular items.

I believe Jagex seeds less traded items into game themselves, using GE. This way you will never be able to buy from ur own accounts. GE is something they can control.

That's too bad =\. Still loved the old times when I just trade from account B to account A.

Now, so complicated and in efficient. But I'll still bot for the hell of it =D.

Rune hasta (p++) no one buys

There you go: Try it!

~Kryptic

I've got something that nobody buys are sells, I've been trying to sell for weeks.
It's a members item so if two people post here who have members accounts then I'll be up for testing. Could make serious $$$ :)
