Ok, So I ended up with 50k Uncut Topaz (A$$ Rhaped from jaghex on mints:redface:) and I'm surveying my options on what to do…I thought of enchanted topaz tipped bolts, good mage xp with low price of cosmics, but remembered this mini-game…so, here's the variables, I could really use some help with the math on this…
GE Prices
…………………….
Trading Sticks 5 ea (max buy of 10k per ?)
Red Topaz machete 12,600
Jade Machete 7,519
Uncut Red topaz 2,833
(cut) Red topaz 1,802
Mini-Game Store prices(Gabooty Co-op)
—————————-
Sell for Trading Sticks
……………………..
uncut Red topaz 32-1st…unsure ?
(cut) Red topaz 120-1st, 114-2nd……drops to 66 for 11th (not sure how much after this ?)
Buy for Trading Sticks
……………………….
uncut Red topaz 40
(cut) Red topaz 200
Red Topaz machete 2000
Jade Machete 1000
I was thinking of cutting all them for crafting xp, then selling to store and buying jade/ red topaz machetes…and I seen how much I loose, and thought I could have another account buying the gems back….but typing this out…I'm thinking….selling uncuts to store and 2nd player buying back would be a pretty good transfer method ?

Cant buy back noted though, and its far from a bank. Unless theres one of those cart dudes to take you to twai bwo bank nearby?
When free trading was first abolished, there was a similar method to this for transferring gold..cant remember the specifics though.
BTW, what happened with mints? Edit - found it. Sucks to be you :p How many did you have?

Up until recently, mint cakes were virtually never used for run energy restoration generally due to the difficulty in obtaining them, but as of 1 February 2010, the chance of getting a mint cake reward from the Gnome Restaurant minigame has been increased considerably and they are now received in amounts ranging from 8-10 rather than individually.
Many players were taking mint cakes as currency over and above standard coins thus making certain items difficult to achieve, even with the required coins. After the update, they lost their use as currency.
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Mint_cakeThat's pretty messed up, so many people were using them as currency and stuff, a bunch of people are going to be RUINED!
I was thinking….
player 1:sell 20 uncut to store, receive 400 trading sticks (20x3k-400x5)=-58k
player 2:buy 20 uncut from store for 800 trading sticks(20x3k-800x5)=+56k
player 1:buys uncuts back for max+ Trading Sticks=+56k+
Repeat…might have to bring a few cuts to sell to get sticks to make up for the ones lost…..
let's just say…I was very F@CKING close to buying White Phat…….200+ mints…pretty much everything I earned from Sudoku….
E. I had actually found a renewed sense of fun in the game merching…it was pretty easy to buy low, salvage what junk I could(alc pouches,etc), sell high, and had thought i had accumulated some wealth…i was warned, but i didn't think it would happen so quick…..worst case scenario…. I lend AGS for 4.8m/ 24 hours until junk is gone…..

I did that with BGS back in the day. I only had to get rid of 10M or so, but it didn't take as long as I expected. The hard part is finding someone who'll borrow it for longer than a couple hours.

No problem getting 24 hour lends with AGS, sometimes even a mint when they were 10m, just goto world 2 nw of ge, or forums to set it up ahead of time ;)
Hmm…I wonder if Simba will have the same "Intra Scar messenger" feature ?….that would be good for using to make 2 scripts that trade with each other ?
