Well, I'm pretty new at fliping & merching, so what would be the best item for an F2P to flip atm? I heard that currupt should be pretty good money.

It's not really flipping in my opinion if you don't do the work to find an item.

Finding the item is what 95% of flipping is, someone telling you what is good is like an opponent in a poker game telling you before you play what they look like when they are bluffing. Why should a person reveal what is making them money, especially in such a tempermental course such as flipping.

I've flipped os much in F2P and I can say that the best items are:
-Corrupt items
-Food
-Runes
-Trimmed/gold/sara/zammy… armour

Basically with only 2 slots(1 buy and 1sell) you can not do much. Add to that that most of the free to play items are very over-flipped, you are out of luck.

If you have more money and perhaps few extra users that dont have trade limit, start to buy pieces of different armor sets and then sell them as sets. For example, you can make 200-400k from Gilded rune set and bit less from others. Do your research.

Some F2p items I have flipped:
Steel bar, Iron bar, Mithril ore, Gold bar, Swordfish, Tuna, Amulet of Strenght(this can turn out really well). Think of items that people need constantly and then you will just have to test the margins of one item, another and so forth until you find something. You will probably flip this item 10min to 1h before someone else shows up and starts to reduce the margin to the point where it is not worth doing it anymore. There is no way anyone can tell you "flip this item, you will make xx in xx amount of time". You can only find good flips if you try everything that pops into your mind and you have luck. Have fun! ;)

Hmm, I've never really looked into flipping, I've got around 30 to 50 accounts without the trade limit, will that do?

LOL. That will more then likely do, however, flipping more then 3-4 items will probably make your brain explode and then profit really is not THAT good, unless you know exactly what to flip. ;) The thing with flipping is that there are so many guys doing it and you will constantly have to check the prices if someone has out-bidden you. It is good in getting you your first 10-20m, after that it will be a pain.

tbh, I know how to flip but I never know whether I am doing well enough. Some items I know can be a 5-10 mins flip making 25k, but others it's like 4h making only like 200k. I just want to know how you guys do it and what's the timeframe of the flips you guys do

Usually the item should come and go in under 15-20mins in total and give you minimum of 100k for that. I flip around 3m+ a day, flipping 4-6h probably on and off.
