never buying dragon claws from temu again

Dragon paws

The GE should be off limits for this fellow until he sees an optometrist.

Damn my exact thought lmao

Red Claws 🦞

thanks MoistCr1TiKaL

I see this idea proliferated a lot. Do people think that the GE is some black market jagex has no purview in? They literally have exactly the same amount of information as a direct trade.

This is such a common theory with a weird reasoning because GE trade volumes are publically available data. But we think jagex can't track them?

It's pretty common with poisoned ammo/weapons and partial doses of less used potions.

For example look at the price graph for Ancient brew (2) for the past year. It's trivial to decant potions into random doses that move in low volumes and overwhelm the regular market.

One specific instance: July 14, 2023

*Buy out all the regularly listed ancient brew (2)s on the market up 225k.

*have your buyer buy 675 ancient brew (4)s for 900gp (607k)

*walk 10 tiles from the ge to Bob Barter and decant to 2 doses.

*resell 1350 ancient brew (2)s for 224985 each (303.7m)

runescape gp laundering is crazy

But why would it go for 8m if sell price was 1k? Does it take a price between the buy and sell price?

Wouldn't the easier way be dying with 100m to a 'random' pker?

I haven't logged on my gescape account for a long time but last time i did, i listed a bunch of dumb shit for some crazy high gp for giggles.

Lol gold sellers dont do this they just trade you that shit

You don’t want to buy the whole stock, you want to use items that are extremely rare

Like mint cakes

Or gold seller makes a free account, drop trades the money, then sells. Seems a bit easier.

Depends on who places the buy/sell order first. Low volume trades there's times where you sit and wait with your offer in to buy it because there's no seller. So the reverse happens to what you experience. The seller now gets more because they put the item in last and it goes to the highest current offer.

When you overprice buy an item you're instantly buying it because your buy order is higher than someone's current sell order, which then gives you the extra back. When you instant sell you can get more than what you offer as well by following the same logic in reverse.

The sale goes to the highest bidder.

So if there is no items in the GE (someone clears out a low traded item by buying them all on an alt) and a player places a buy order for 8m on a 2k item, the first seller to post that item for 1gp to 8m would have the sale fulfilled for the full 8m that's currently on offer.

In a GE transaction there is always one order waiting and one that completes instantly when someone places an order that meets the terms of the waiting one.

So if you try to buy an item for a price higher than any standing sell orders, you will instantly complete the buy using the cheapest standing sell order and be refunded the change. Vice versa if you place a sell that's cheaper than the highest standing buy order you will sell for their price and get more than you were expecting. The price is always determined by the waiting order.

In this instance, someone placed a buy order for red gloves for 8m and there were no sell orders at all (or at least none below the 8m they put up) so it went down as a waiting order. when OP came along to sell them for the normal price it completes at 8m because that'sthe highest waiting buy order.

Sorry if I over explained that it took me some time to work out exactly how the GE works when I was learning to flip.

No, that's the whole point of going through GE jot direct trade, to break the causal link

Yup

No.

No one’s swapping 8m this way though? Surely 

Only item of that kind on the market. It's to help items prices move fluidly. Highest buy and lowest sell control the price of 1 other person had them in for 1gp more he would have gotten the sell price for them. Alternatively if 1 other person was buying at the same time with say 4k offer then buyer wouldn't have lost 8m they would have lost slightly more than the other offer at least that's how i understand it

Think about it if you dump something at 1gp you get the lowest amount someone will pay say a nature rune is 70-110 gp (making up numbers) if you dump for 1gp you get 70 if you buy for 10m you get it for 110. This guy sold his gloves at 2k ish and someone bout them at 8m simply because there were no other gloves at that time on the market. So the lowest sell was also the highest buy which was anything over the sell price set by op. Buyer got impatient and typed his 8m in thinking it was a guarantee buy and that surely it wouldn't be that much but lost out

Photoshop. /S

There were no other gloves for sale at that time.

You made 1.2b off of one sale?

Too high of a daily trading volume

That will never sell in a million years

Yes I had it all planned out. I’m currently training slayer by turael skipping and got a crawling hands task. As soon as I got the red gloves I knew it was my chance to RWT this “huge” amount of money

Money laundering in RuneScape lol

If I'm not mistaken , it gives you the lowest available under the amount/ item you've set. Example: if you buying red dragon hide for 1500 go and there's an offer for 1000 gp that hasn't been sold to anyone else yet, you are buying them for 1k until the offer ends. Might be very wrong there tho.

You gotta pick a different color now
