SRL Archive - SRL Merchanting

EDIT: Can a mod please change the title to Ancient Staff, thanks.

I think we should do Ancient Staffs, you can't make these, gotta get them as a drop, so the supply shouldn't be to high, and you can only buy your first one, here's a graph:

This item is like just reaching its minimum point, this should be better then rune full helm :)

nevermind, Diamond Rings look like they reached their max.

Original Post:

I think for a next item we should do rune full helms, they are very steady which makes for a good price manipulation.

Here's how the graphs look for it:

This should be a much more successful merch then the last one's we've had. And people can't easily make them, since it has a high smithing level, so I think we can manage to buy these out.

Looks like it would do well. I couldn't buy many, but that's a problem that I'm gonna have no matter what item we do, really.

are you F2P member? or P2P? And I think I would be able to buy a decent amount.

F2P. With only about 1.4 mil at my disposal. I'm working on correcting that.

That's why, you're F2P, I was never rich in F2P, I made all my money being member :p, 1.4M isn't bad to merch with though, you should be at 5M soon enough if we do some good merch's and stop having such low dump prices, like we reach our dump in 3-4 days, instead of a week - week and a half, where it can actually rise a lot. But I guess for that we'd need more people in SRL to join in or to invest more money.

Sure, I have like 2 mill i think. Maybe we should make an SRL merch clan or put it in junior members?

I think we should let selected Jr's join, kinda like SSRL, how whoever's in it, decides who can be voted in. Maybe we can vote some Jr's in that we trust?

*sigh*, we could do that. I just don't see it actually coming into place though ..:(

Anyways good idea. But we should have a private merch clan or allow juniors. Otherwise, we can't successfully merchant as well.

The whole point of it being in SRL Members was to minimize the risk of someone dumping early. I think.

O. :p. Well, it doesn't mean that if the person is a junior member that he is going to dump early. I mean any SRL member, has the capability of doing it, accident or not.

I'm going to try to get this thread back on topic, since it has been completely hijacked :p How about making a thread/poll for that idea?


I say definite no to Rune full helm. Way to many players can smith these in large amounts, and the cost is very high relative to the supply.

Erm. The highest it's ever been is 21.4k? You want to make 400 gp/ 21k invested (and that may be hard too)?

WhiteShadow, stable items are good to pricemanipulate. You would make way more then 400gp by the way. If we did it right that is, and we all put in enough money.

Volume/Price is way to high for anyone to manipulate esp at a <1bil budget.

Too high supply :/

Bump… changed item, but it's a P2P item now.

EDIT: I think I may have found a potentially good F2P item, adding it to first post now.

Ancient staffs work great.
Rune full helms don't period.

Are ancient staffs P2P?
If we chose that I would be willing to pay for membership.
The last merch was SOOO successful, they boosted the price by 130k!!!!
If i spent all I had on that then dumped at same price I would be up to 60+m!!!! :D
I say AS

T~M

yes the man, they are p2p

ya AS is good because only monsters in a pyramid in the desert drop them, so they're really good to merch. Most the good items right now are P2P :/ we really need to pick some P2P items.

There are now other ways to autocast ancient spells without the ancient staff, but at the same time it gives +10% damage now.
So I'm wondering how in demand this item is now.
I think the only thing to beat it is a master wand, but a lot of people probably stick with the ancient staff for its much lower cost, especially for pking.
So I think it would be a pretty good item.

There are more but for the most part they're hard to come by.

Yes there is a much better selection.

Gl ;) I think this has too high demand but idk gl ;)

high demand would only help us make it go up but I don't think there is a to high of demand… it just dropped back to it's regular price, if the demand was high, it'd be rising, not going down a few gp. This would be a perfect time to buy these out. We could most likely double it's price, maybe triple, but that could be asking for too much :p last time it's price was tripled you can see it was a big clan that did it, but I think we could double this items price.

It worked very well last time, i was merchanting it with a clan cant remember which can it was thinking it was smokin mils or chessy's.

Took a bit of time getting to that price tho.

Limited tho since its P2P

If we do ancient staffs it should be soon.
They're about to rise.
