How we know
We tried 80 ways to pick an offer price on 6 weeks of past GE trades. Then we tested the best ones again on 5 other weeks we hadn’t used.
Each offer waited up to an hour. If it hadn’t completed by then, we finished the trade right away and counted that cost.
Offering at recent prices worked best. The buy offer is the average price sellers got in the latest five-minute stretch with a sale. The sell offer is the average price buyers paid in the latest five-minute stretch with a purchase.
We also tried the usual price over the last 6 hours. It cost a little more than recent prices, and fewer offers completed.
We worked all this out from past trades. We didn’t place these offers ourselves.
At today’s prices
- GE tax
- The tax is bigger than the gap. 244 GP tax on a 12,244 GP sale, from a 176 GP gap. Bought at 12,068 GP, sell for at least 12,314 GP to break even.
- High alch
- Alching pays more right now. It gives 12,480 GP, or 12,312 GP after the nature rune. A sale leaves 12,000 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 2–5% made +2.6% on average the next time.
Margin this week
In a typical hour of the last 6, the 2% tax was bigger than the gap between average buy and sell prices. The offers above use the latest trades, not these averages.
Average prices for the 6 hours to
40K traded in the last day: 76% more than a normal day.
Margin is the average sell price minus the average buy price and the 2% tax, for each hour. A big margin doesn’t mean your offers will fill. Prices and trades come from the OSRS Wiki, which gets them from Jagex.
