A couple items

We need to pick items that have a low supply/cost ratio.

A few items:

Item: Black Armour set (l)
DB Link: http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/Black_armour_set_(l)/viewitem.ws?obj=11826
Current Price: 8093 med
Dump Price: 10k or more

Reasons: Very low supply, and very low cost for how low the supply is. Black armor can only be obtained through killing monsters and getting a lucky drop, so there is a very low supply of this armor compared to others, because it cannot be smithed.


Item: Goblin mail
DB Link: http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/Goblin_mail/viewitem.ws?obj=288&scale=2
Current Price: 20 gp mid
Dump Price: 40 gp or more

Reasons: A very low cost, and a relatively low supply in proportion to that cost. Lets say 100k goblin mail are sold each day. That is equal to 2M gp. We could easily buy all of them out for over a week.


Item: White bead
DB Link: http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/White_bead/viewitem.ws?obj=1476&scale=2
Current Price: 705 gp
Dump Price: 1k+

Reasons: Low supply, fairly low cost. I recommend we wait a couple more days if we are to do this one though, because the price is still coming down. I think it may have been manipulated just recently, but it is just about to hit the normal equilibrium price again.








With the amount of money we have combined, we need to pick items with much lower supply then previous times. I think any of these 3 items would be very successful if executed correctly.

White bead looks like it could drop a little more.
Goblin mail is a pretty useless item. I'm afraid we're just going to end up buying them all up and then only selling half of them for a little profit. Wouldn't using an item that is more in demand better?

and the black armour set… hmm it's not safe to try to buy out an item that seems pretty static in it's price. (always been around 8k) It's more profitable to buy an item after it's been dumped and the price drops back to minimum.

Just my opinion.

goblin mail seems bad, it's too cheap, if I invested a few mill, then I would have to wait hours and hours to get it all even if it sells instantly because of the cap of how many you can buy per hour, the black armour set seems best.

Black armour looks good… but I think most black armour are not sold in sets..?
