GE tax

The tax takes 37% of the gap.

Each sale at 70,028 GP pays 1,400 GP in tax. That’s 37% of the 3,760 GP gap between the typical buy and sell prices above.

Bought at 66,268 GP, it has to sell for at least 67,620 GP to break even.

High alch

Selling pays more right now.

High Level Alchemy gives 43,200 GP. A nature rune costs 156 GP, so a cast leaves 43,044 GP. A GE sale at 70,028 GP leaves 68,628 GP after the tax.

This is how our past suggestions for this item did. Every 2 hours we save the flip we suggest. 6 hours later, we test it against the real GE trades in between, after the 2% tax. If its buy offer wouldn’t have filled, we leave it out. These are tests, not trades players made. Newer tests count more. How we test

Past results matter. In our research on flipping after the 2% tax, items whose record made over 5% made +8.5% on average the next time.
