Next Item To Be Bought Out?

Anyone here really experience with reading graphs? I'm okay at it, but I haven't been merchanting for very long. Only 2 or 3 months.

I just looked at the graph for Sapphires as I know these are commonly merched in big clans. I was wondering if anyone think that the leaders/generals are starting to stock up at the moment? The graph is starting to curve up a little, but that doesn't always mean anything. It isn't a completely balanced graph, but it's kind of straight at the moment.

If anyone has any feedback on this and can give me some advice that would be great. I'm hoping to make a few mill off a merch so I can start making a little bit more profit per flip.

Also, I'm thinking about buying 50,000 sapphires. So please, if you know anything, give me some good tips. I don't want to lose my ass in the end.



EDIT: If anyone on here wants to start buying these out with me, let me know on here or in a PM. I don't know how this forum is with Merch Clans, but I don't want to hear how they are scams. I realize that they are, but I just want to know if anyone has a couple hundred mill they want to throw down for this? If we can get like 10 people with a couple hundred mill, we could make some serious cash probably.

Another EDIT: Nevermind. Cut Sapphires are way lower then their market price shows on the GE at the moment. I don't think they're being merched.

I am interested in this as well, I would most likely buy over 100k sapphires if this is actually being merched.

Yeah I would like to do that. I just don't know if it is being merched. I know that if 10 people came on here with 100m ready to buy as many as they could, we could get the prices to rise easy. 10 of us buy 100m worth of sapphires, and then we'll either wait it out for a clan to start buying them out (hopefully they are right now), or we can start something up to get people to buy them. (I guess this would be scamming the poor citizens of RuneScape, but it's really not a big deal. We would just be taking advantage of their lack of knowledge about the game. That happens everyday in real life ;P)


But for real, I'm ready for this if anyone else wants to do this with me.


911, if you have any friends that might want to do this, let them and know and definitely let me know. If we can get some people to start with this, then we need to do it soon.

I don't want anyone reading this and thinking that you're going to take advantage of the few who may want to do this. There will be at the most 10 of us. We will all make a huge profit in the end and we can all take turns selling portions of our stock. That way everyone gets money in the end and when we tell the clan we create to dump their items, we'll profit and they won't as much. If this isn't allowed, then my bad. Just let me know and I won't say anything else about this.

I've always loved the idea of merching, but I've never been quite good at it :| hopefully we can make this happen... PM me if you get any more info/people.

Will do. I can give you some advice on merchanting if you need any help. Just let me know what you're stuck on.

^ It's easy. You can tell an item is being merched by a clan if there's a crazy spike in prices. (Unless there's a reason for the spike like the ROW)

try merching sharks. They don't jump hugely, but you can make a bang for your buck every couple of days (as they go up and down constantly).

Here's an example of an item that's probably being merched.




And here's an item that was merched in Oct.

Alright thanks Wet. And Saged, I know you can see that a clan is merching by the spikes, but I'm tying to catch this item before the spike. Usually when a graph is kind of straight and barely wavy but it is starting to go up, this is usually when the leaders/ranked people of a merch clan are buying as much of the item they are going to merch as possible. Usually, they almost buy out the entire stock of that item themselves. Then they advertize it to the public which in return generates huge wealth.

I'm probably telling you something you already know, but I just thought I'd explain that. Haha


Anyways, if any of you have the money and risk to do this with me, let me know. I swear I'm not trying to take advantage of anyone on this forum. I've been trying to find a legit forum where I can get a couple of people to do a merch or two with me and hopefully we can make 20m+ profits on all of them. Gems are pretty good for that as well I've seen.


EDIT: Thanks Saged. What item is the top one? Oh and I just realized that the Sapphires aren't really going up at all, haha. I was looking at it differently. It is a pretty stable graph though so that means people are consistently buying them. If we could get some people to buy these out, we could definitely make some money off of this I believe. You seem a little experienced in this though so if you have any words of wisdom, feel free to enlighten me.

Purple gloves. I'll check Sapphys out.

Sapphires definitely don't look like their being merched, but I could be wrong. It just looks like a usual short-time spike in price. Look at the 180 day graph. You'll see them all the time.

Wow Purple gloves are definitely being merched. Do you think it would be a good idea to even invest in them though? It looks like they're reaching the top of their merch.

Yeah, they are. And it looks like they're evening out now, so now I wouldn't invest in them. I'd give it 5-6 days and the prices will crash to hell.

Another item being merched:

Yeah that's what I was thinking. However, the straight line in the graph doesn't usually mean they're about to crash I don't think. If it was kind of a curved line going down, then yeah I wouldn't invest. I've heard the perfect straight line in a graph means that either the GE glitched because the price is rising so fast or it's JaGeX trying to control price manipulation and scare people into selling the items. I'm not going to invest though because I'll end up losing a lot of money most likely.

I'm trying to find something good to merch though. I know now Sapphys aren't going up, but with some solid people gems could be a great way to pull in some money.

Long term merch or flipping?

Eh, I guess the right term would be a long term merch. About a week long. Maybe a little more. It could even be a day or two thing. Yesterday a clan merched amulet of magics. They went 400 gp to over 1k each over night.

I'd definitely like to do something that could lead to a pretty nice profit though. I just know I can't do it alone haha.

Check out redberries - opinions?

Definitely looks promising. I'm actually thinking about putting some money into this one. It's starting to curve right now so maybe this is a good sign. The public probably doesn't know yet.


What do do you think?


If you think this might be a good one, I'm ready to buy 100k redberries. I'm going to split them up into 6 different offers at 20,000 each. I know that should help the prices rise too.

Yeah, if they're actually curving up which it looks like they are, buy them. You may make a great profit.

I'll help with the merch if it looks steady.

Rune ores dropped from 15k to 10k, if I'm not mistaken.
