In this video I made about 1.2m in 1 hour of flipping with 10m starting cash.
I flipped from 9:55 to 10:55pm on a Tuesday.

Unedited footage:

In the past videos I've talked about:
(1.) the basics of flip merchanting, how to choose prices
(2.) a little bit about how to take advantage of updates
(3.) how time of day affects flipping, and the importance of the mid ge price.

This merchanting vlog consists of me merchanting for 1 hour with different amounts of starting cash(1m/5m/10m/25m/50m/100m/250m/500m/1b/max cash) and extra videos talking about special situations(like updates). I talk about merchanting and give tips while showing some of the footage from that hour's merching.


Summary:
-Take advantage of items that can be bought and quickly made into something else.
For example, buying individual barrows pieces and selling the set can be profitable. Sometimes you can also flip items the other way, buy a set and sell the pieces individually. Make sure you write down all of the prices so you can sell the individual pieces back if the set doesn't sell. Also be aware that you may hit your ge buying limits depending on the item you're trying to modify and sell since buying parts each count as 1 item and selling the set only counts as selling 1 item.
-When looking for items to flip you should also think about who's buying/selling them.
The dharok armor that I was flipping in this video is a good example because not only is there a large amount of it being traded but many of the people buying and selling it are pkers who don't care about the price. Skilling supplies are sometimes harder to flip because skillers take more time to find prices to save money.


Some ideas for items to flip with 10m:
Barrows Pieces/Sets
Armadyl Runes
Ganodermic Flakes/Gear
Archer/Warrior rings

Some items that can be bought, modified, and possibly sold for profit:
Barrows Pieces to sets (anything that can be made into a set pretty much)
Godsword hilts+blades to swords
Sigils to spirit shields (High smithing/prayer requirements)
3-4dose potions (Talk to the herblore guy in the northwest part of ge to decant them)
Ganodermic armor (98 crafting or assist required)
Repairing barrows (99 smithing or assist to lower the repair cost)
Charging polypore sticks (80 farming or assist)
Charging jewelry (Geyser titan helps a lot for dragonstone jewelry)
Armadyl Dust to Runes (99 rc or assisting it required)

  • i don't get why the party hats dont buy?

  • @XORunescape

    Cracker and blue phat are worth over max cash(which is the limit in the ge) so people generally trade them outside of the ge.

  • I'm confused. When I shall buy like 1 Whip too see price and sell them to lower price then I just lose some K? Or what im confused! >.>

  • @TrickeyCSS

    Yes, you will usually lose a bit testing the price.

  • @Omustardo what if the item you're flipping has 2mill difference? You will lose lots by buying and selling

  • @B0MBALI9

    You should generally just test different prices if it has that much of a price range. Usually not worth taking a 2m loss to test prices.

  • Please Reply!!!!!! Lets say the limit in g/e for barrows items is 10. if i bought 10 dh plates and sold them all, could i still buy 10?

  • @zachtuk111

    I don't have much experience merching f2p items so I don't plan on making a guide specifically for f2p but most of the tips in these videos ought to be the same.
