GE tax

The tax is bigger than the gap.

Each sale at 18,486 GP pays 369 GP in tax. That’s more than the whole 61 GP gap between the typical buy and sell prices above.

Bought at 18,425 GP, it has to sell for at least 18,801 GP to break even.

High alch

Alching pays more right now.

High Level Alchemy gives 19,200 GP. A nature rune costs 140 GP, so a cast leaves 19,060 GP. A GE sale at 18,486 GP leaves 18,117 GP after the tax.
