RuneScape Merchant Clans: What are they? How do they work?

[JCdenton50]

Heres what you do, you stop buying from the grand exchange and you get the stuff you need on your own with your own skills while gaining experience points.

[PleaseClickThis1]

Ennio Morricone - Ecstacy of Gold

[bowlingfor1]

This video is bullshit, this happens also in real life and nobody complains. Buying and selling goods is a normal trade activity that cannot be stopped...is it normal that sometimes an item crashes or gets expensive...just think about the oil price...

[mesahatesayou]

HOW ABOUT FAGEX AND ALL OF THE RUNESCAPE PLAYERS AGREE ON PRICES FOR ITEMS AND HAVE IT SO THAT PRICES CAN'T GO UP OR DOWN. THEN THERE WONT BE ANY OF THESE GAY MERCH CLANS ---> WHICH WILL STOP ITEMS GOING UP AND DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE :)

[kalzorath]

@mesahatesayou no,that prevents supply and emand which drives runescape

[kleenmaide]

@mesahatesayou amen i want everything to stay the same makes me scared to buy stuff :(

[therealdonut45]

wow i never realised this

i was in a merch clan, i bought 400k worth and aftr i couldnt shif it

glad i quit nw

[irunonwindows]

[mattlikesgames1]

[HiddenAIDS]

[Urlog922]

Now that I think of it some I miss the old merchantimg where is sold through the trade screen and not like a buy it now eBay system

[meganielz]

hm.. i not remember falador park i play since 2008-2009 my combat is no 124 so do not think im noob>.<

and I know how to get rid of you items all you need is an ags lend it out 100k ea houer and say you only accept coins and offer your items lend it 24h out fo 2,4m so.. you get money and other player is with the items and that make you fast enough loot+you items away

how i know this? i have been scammed that way that guy offerd me like 6000 adamant arrows p++ and made 1,4m lose on that

[Justification75]

@meganielz 124 combat in a few years is bloody crazy to me because i'm just such a slow trainer. ive played 6 years and im only 98 combat, fuck. lol.

[meganielz]

@Justification75 yea but i only play runescape I mean its all i dit that few years i dint come outside house and dont have friends and... im computer freak realy in weekend I play like 14 houres....

[str8soulja305]

I don't get it. But i have 20mil that i want to invest and im considering doing this but idk how to do it/

[jjxboy777]

[Razor00710]

Nice Vid. I hate merching clans.. But i also easily got 99 smithing for about the same price.. but More than twice as fast cause they were merching rune bars. :D

[Ethanace]

Lol, if you hadn;t noticed, in reality, people who are greedy don't care about others, so simply telling them that they're being greedy and hurting the game for others won't change anything. If they cared in the first place, they wouldn't scam. It's as simple as that. Merchenters of today are no lifing dumb fucking twats. I've never merched once and I'm proud to be an honest player for money. The people who keep joining clans, with all do respect; are also stupid for repeatedly falling for it.

[superrunescapenerd10]

nice way to give the point man

[MegaJari]

what is the song at the beginning?

[tsujack]

this is an amazing summary and very professionally done.

Do you mind commenting on my guide in the runescape forums?

[DaveMorgne]

Wow did you men here somone is giving away no cost RS accounts at DURIAL123ACCOUNTS[.]TK

[venompwnzcows]

ah i remember the old runescape falador park and the G.E is just SHIT

[Assault912]

I personally believed Jagex had deals with merch clans, so they can manipulate the price by following Jagex's order.

[Ayomide345]

ahaaa he made this back when 2.3m was high for a whip.

[trifix1]

very nice argument :)

[hockeyman292]

reminds me of american greed :P

[jwmoulton99]

[RunescapeSkippy]

Dude I'm sorry respect n all Putin this together but... You have way to much time on ur hands

[Zhokul]

@RunescapeSkippy

Lmao, I love it when people say that.

He's doing something rather constructive with his time, actually.

[Jalespino]

[englandman2k9]

[ashmantwo]

@englandman2k9 i thought he was gunna say this is SPARTA but then i rethought that didn't make sense

[ashmantwo]

yeah I said it when it first came up and I will say it again merchant clans are ONE SIDED Only ONE SIDE gets profit the smaller that one side the more profit their if everyone were honestly going to be making profit no one would :O 

[thyd360pop]

what's the intro music called?

[JRVL007]

Thanks to zarfot, I lol'd at that one: He pretty much makes money of the ge.

[Devistator4545]

[RsAccountsSale]

O.o dude your really smart

:)

[vukeidge]

omg I had about 300k invested in yellow dye! thanks!

[itachi163]

So much math -_-, im not sure this thing is much of an issue any more people would join thes clans in hopes for geting money but that been over since the word got out about the high priced items like the god's wine in the chaos temple.

And well im here talking about selling and buying can any one tell me why would they sell corrupted dragon armor and weapons for so high well the weapons if you can only use them for 30 mins, and why would some one make an armour like this?

[tomhed5]

thankyou sooo much for this video i was going to go into a clan beacuse i jjust hit 99 rc and made i lovely some of 560m an i did it til like 15m xp and u just like sved my life cuz this one guy was like yer man u can trippel it an shit an i was very wired about this beacuse i have allways made my mony from skils sutch as slayer farming an crafting an ovy runecrafting for the last year or so :L so thankyou very much for this video :) 5 stars :) x

[JNeel798]

Thumbs up if you remember Falador Park

[MadPutz]

@JNeel798 Falador Park was as intense as the New York or Chicago exchanges in real life. But everything is being automated, real world and in virtual worlds and no more shouting off buys and sells and losing your voice

[TheNightWalkeerr]

@JNeel798 whats falador park?

[44SCB]

Have lots of skillers make the item they r useing then sell them just as they do and they will lost probly have what they would have mad if not more. That will teach them not 2 clan merchant.

[whitehawk38]

fally park world 2! i miss those days. anyways i quit and this runescape does not have anything that might bring you back

[Stupidnoobread]

you actually make sence i never bought into merch clans i never thought of it like this tho

[malborito666]

Yeah it helped me to understand it better, thx

[illshootu1]

I wonder if it's possible to make a penis with the grand exchange graph, no homo

[legolas435]

@illshootu1 always been wondering the same thing aha

[IshankPEOPLEonly]

damn i never thought of that ur a smart guy!@

[MrRsGodz]

[FALL4TIMESGETUP5]

WE MISS U JEK

[moneymaking222]

@FALL4TIMESGETUP5 join wemakebilz name says it all

[THEstealthNOOB]

I completely agree...

[MrBaseball135]

[Fearsome0ne]

you are so right about everything nice vid

[TheRSCoalition]

WTF DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MERCHANTING ASS HOLE CUNT DICK MOTHER FUCKING DICK KNOCKER

[bloodrain939]

@TheRSCoalition llolollol



[mrmc4life]

Ur right!

[jdeepfjj]

Not all merchant clans are scams , for example the richest player on runescapes clan chessy018 I have been making millions with them and I'm not ranked in the clan.. And the main reason why people cannot speak in clans is to stop spamming..

[thyd360pop]

whats the intro song???

[littlejoey8485]

its fucking ppl like chessy that keep like 100 santas and phats in her bank and the whole game revolves around her for rares

[294egs]

finaly some1 has made this video when will ppl stop merchanting

[HPNico]

fuckin merch clans, how do they work

[AlotaMaple]

Just s0l0 merch, you make more and you gain experience

[AlotaMaple]

Same thing with maplestory except theres no grand exchange :) whee

[beyblader10171]

good video, it's ashame that people ruin the game for others, coz they're greedy :(

[MrRohanvideos]

Well i used to merch like at the part in faladoor , those are the real merchers, now these days its ****ed up due to the high price rises of before worthless items

[flu4you]

its true i remember the whip being like 900k now its like 4m...whats up with that!...and something liike a g maul was like 40k now its 500k.....rune scimmy used to be 10-15k now its 30-50k jagez needs to bring back old runescape or sort out the economy!!!!

[diodisciple]

ima honest merchant buy stuff fair sell stuff fair

[reepermaple]

tough love, i remember when i got scammed when i was level 3. Did I learn? Yes. Some people just have to learn the hard way

[Waltz7744]

whats the song for ur intro?? i love it

[tigerstar216]

go to the runescape forums and type in this Quick find code: 14-15-61-60836453

Jagex at their worst, Facepalm

[NoRefundsXD]

I never cared for those clans anyways, but I could never sell/buy the things i wnated >_<

[lamboman7]

Great video I'm glad that I'm not the only player who thinks merchanting is stupid and a fraud. Thanks :)

[jstar444]

no offence or anything i know what ur getting at and everything but do u really think these ppl give a fuck there doing this to the items of the game? ... again no offence to u, but unless they realize.. nothing going to change.

[TheSuperSonic86]

couple of things

number one

this is really reatarded i saw the whip in the GE its was 950k i thought awosme its cheap ill save up -4 days later- "ok time to get my whip" "wtf its now 3.4m wtf????"

also merchanting clans are officially against the rules and the people in the clan as well as the clan leader can get perm banned so if you see the name of the leader of a merchanting clan i would advise you to report them and all the ranked people in the clan

[Waltz7744]

this is bs i never knew what was up with these guys....

thanks for telling me this

i was about to join 1 because i only have like 5m

i'll just solo merch, i don't wanna ruin the game for other people

p.s. is merchaning wih friends ok?

me and like 4 other friends r gonna merch whips like flip the price

and also if this will ruin he game then i won't do it i don't wanna hurt anybody =(

[Koin101deadlydrop]

wait what does that really mean? is it that theyre gaining items for a cheap price? Or whatever? i don't get it

[skateorgetshot]

o noo you mean you actually have to skill for your own items? i know this comment is gonna get flamed up the ass but seriously old runescape died years ago. all the "honesty" this game used to have left with the old mature players and was replaced with greedy 12 year olds who only care about pixel money.

[StarsOR]

I need to know how 100 noobs with full bronze can buy 5 whips 0.o

[applegoneairsoft]

@StarsOR i loled lmaooo

[KLiM1337]

@StarsOR hax

[eestiboy1]

@StarsOR Probably bot :D

[Assault912]

@StarsOR Check out Zarfot's adventure log and you will know xD

[BEENtherDESTROYthat]

@StarsOR retard

[jpl188]

They pretty much just buy everything out early, then get the noobs to put in their 5m bank. They then set up a dump price and they (The higher ups) dump it early, causing them to make large profit, and the noobs left with nothing.

[rennielucas]

so true, thanks man

[nounever]

in reality these people are so so so sad.

[samuraimax5]

We should start an anti merch clan... we have people join the clans secretly, then we warn people of items that'll be dumped or might be bought out

[DragonAce9]

find when ppl r tryin to buy and sell at righhhhhtttt timmmmeee

[Ram3nf0x668]

falador w2 park.. good times

[ineedtolvlup12]

i must be messing up the game i buy high and sell low cause its the fastest way to get wat i want XD

[RammingFausnut]

jagex are supposed to "step in" thats what they said, if price manipulation got out of hand.

Cunts runining the game, fuck all the merchers greedy shits fat cunts

[TheFirehawk825]

i honestly think that not all merch clans r scams. to tell if they r try to buy 1 of the clans merch item for max price if u get them instantly they r a scam. but if it takes hours or even days it is not cause u will eventually get them and you will easily be able to sell it. The only merch clans u shud trust is Wefightge or Smokin Mils

[InsaneBeagle]

amazing video

[K1ngD35]

omg nice vid dude it was like a documentary! x]

[asho78]

I am becoming rich, to further my enjoyment?

[tehjuliusjm]

i tought bandos said merch clans are stupid lol

[XoFEINDoX]

I want millionz :(

[austinatyahoo]

I'm wondering, how are people finding out if you dump early?

[TheClubHate]

dude of course we are, making money off people is very very very funn and the only decent thign since the fall of wildy

[Eugenernator]

respect! screw them price manipulators!!!

[askmiller]

well, i am not a clan head merchanter, but i almost always make money from these big clans. what i do is join 1, follow along and buy the item, in small amounts at a time. i will check what price the dump is. example, a dump price of 200k ea. i will dump mine at 140-150k ea. this way, the clan members are still buying the item for max price, so i get them sold instantly. the bad side is the people who buy them for the price, hold on to them till the dump, then get fked.

[jamierocks42]

dude people are giving you so much crap for explaining things.....ur vids are great people just think if they know how it works they should go flaming vids.....all little kids....

[killerportero]

2lum can kiss my ass.

[Majestic821]

Man I knew all of this already. I thought that it was actually quite obvious.

[jeknexus]

@Majestic821 It wasn't obvious nearly a year ago when this video was made.

[mclovinowns121]

@jeknexus The players are generally aware of this. But jagex is in denial. I love this vid, not only does it show the truth but I can tell you really put time into this vid to make sure it came out a success. Bravo

[TehSeth]

Wow thats soo true :D thanks for the explination

[AKUJU]

iam in a merch clan iam losing money no gaining cuase i sell the items too late >.>

[Weinertastic]

Fucking merchanting clans, how do they work?

[plebe888]

sooooooooo.........if 100 ppl buy rune scims at 35k (highest price) and buy them all out. the price of them will go up since they are all gone, maybe at 38k and they all sell their scims at the new highest price they would make a 3k profit??

[mechwarreir2]

its called inflation... during the great depression the same thing happened when people used the "on Margin" method for $.

[thesergreatvids]

Its all rewening the game someday merch clans will literaly capture the ge where everything will be way overpriced and almost impossible to get. then we will revert to getting whips from demons and maybe someday which i hope JaGeX will take away the G.E. to stop price crashs. Then we will go back to falador as the trading spot.

[r1a2p3a4r5]

true...

[godfear000]

@Keanu181881

isn't it good that prices are lower so less wealthy people can afford them

[clayscool308]

its good that you are trying to open these peoples eyes, if you guys just grasp the concept of SUPPLY AND DEMAND you would understand that only the leaders of these clans make money

[clayscool308]

private group buys large bulk in a stock this makes stock value raise people see this they invest heavily in the stock then the private group sell there stock for twice the value the bought it for, the stock collapes and all the other investors are stuck with a stock that is worth less than they bought it for........ its really sad jagex would allow tis to happen, this already happened in the twenty's in the stock market and it caused the fuckin great depresion

[flyingslugasaurus]

HAHA capitalism at its best. oh god i haven't played in too long. LOVING these new developments in the game.

[YourDailyXboxNooblet]

dang the video you made me l0l x.d
