Latest week goes here
Starting Total Merchantable Bank: 600m+ not sure lol
Ending Total Merchantable Bank (only going to count profits here cos i cant guess bank worth atm):
Date: 05/20/2014
1 - Drygore longsword - 600,000 gp - 0.94%
I havent flipped anything in over 4 weeks so i decided to check out "90weaps pc" to see how the market was doing along with a few usual active/inactive flips. Mhl had a pc of 65b and since i havent flipped drygores in a while i decided to just settle for margins of 500k-800k on all. Not my best drygore flip but it works as a good start to the day and helps me by building some confidence on seeing some profits. The flip took around 50 minutes to complete.
2 - Drygore rapier - 600,000 gp - 1.05%
Another drygore mainhand weapon that bought. All this while i sold off my dual ascensions which required me to stay in the fc. The pc was 57s so i went a little lower than 57m and bought it for 56.9m, i believe i could have got one for around 56.6m but the wait would have been too long and with being rusty from flipping i just wanted profits and not patience. The flip took around 30 minutes to complete.
3 - Drygore mace - 600,000 gp - 1.05%
This one took some time to buy. So the approx time would be 60 minutes for the flip. Got kinda impatient since i had a couple of inactive flips going at the side and wanted a ge slot empty so i sold it off fast. I also flipped some dragon bones and frost dragon bones in this time which had 100-300k margins and were not that great so i didnt take screenshots for those.
4 - Black mask - 1,050,000 gp - 8.27%
One of my long time go to items when it comes to flipping. I have made a lot of profit on this item over time so i decided to test it out. Took around 1 hour to complete but one of the safest items that i have ever flipped. Never made a loss on black masks till date. One can usually expect margins of 200k to 2m off the masks depending on the time of the day.
5 - Dragon claw - 783,000 gp - 3.62%
With all the news about legacy mode going on i decided to test out claws. The pc was way over mid but the margins were not too great. However the flip was quite fast and took around 30 minutes to complete. This should be a decent item for steady profits i think. Will try out the rest of the dragon weapons in due time. On the claws well i think they can give profits of 300k-1.7m on the limit but not sure just putting it out there.
6 - Zamorakian spear - 486,000 gp - 1.85%
Another one of my favorite items. With the legacy mode coming in this is going to be an item that i will flip constantly on and off. I expect margins of 200k-3m on it (yea i am probably being ambitious lol). It took me around an hour to flip it but i still love zammy spears.
7 - Zaryte bow - 951,000 gp - 1.46%
So i went into nex and ss to check out how things are. The only line i saw was zwb. I put in an offer to buy a zaryte bow lowballing it a little. It took around 40 minutes to fill and after that i just put in an offer to sell it for a 700k profit but it insta sold for much higher. Seems like a good item to flip right now.
8 - Zaryte bow - 800,000 gp - 1.22%
After the previous zbow sold i just decided to check if that was a fluke or not. This one was a fairly fast flip. Took around 15 minutes to finish. So i presume that the bows are giving good margins right now. Was also buying v wands and books which never bought.
9 - Black mask - 423,000 gp - 2.95%
Yet another black mask flip. Was an active one and the margins seem to have declined right now. Took around 40 minutes to finish. Not my best flip but i just wanted to get it over with.
10 - Zamorakian spear - 1,180,000 gp - 10.83%
Second try today with zammy spears. MArgins were just amazing but only 4 bought so a little sad about that but still made a mil in 3 hour time. Was pretty inactive by now.
11 - Off-hand Dragon Claw - 1,055,000 gp - 17.6%
Another item i wanted to try out all day. So i tested margins and liked what i found. Not many people flip these so the margins are still steady/good. Took around 2 hours to flip them.
12 - Dragon rider helm - 5,166,000 gp - 29.86%
Found this item on one of the merchz logs and decided that i want to try it out. Was surprised at the margins and was actualy dubious that it would work out. However it worked out well and the profits speak for themselves. It took around 8-10 hours to flip this. Seems like a good item to flip inactively.
13 - Saradomin godsword - 1,221,000 gp - 0.39%
A risky item to flip due to its high value and high fluctuation. I just wanted to see how well these are doing. Took me 4 hours to flip them and well i ran out of patience and got undercut a couple of times so just sold off for what i could. A good overnight item but i want to test out the other godswords as well.
Today's profits - 14,865,000 gp
The days review - Was my first day back to merching and i made a total of 14.865m profits. Not bad at all. Pretty happy with how things turned up.

32 - Drygore mace - 1,722,173 - 2.1%
Drygores are items that must definitely be on your flipping list as these are fast and are usually an easy 300k-5m profit range items. Best way to flip these is lowball way under the current pc as i did on this one here and sell for the average 400-800k on the 'b' or 's' in the fc. My ideal go to items if i havent been active or inactive flipping in a while. Currently after the drygore crash all drygores have great margins and maces are by far my favourite drygores. This was an active flip as in the time between the buy completing and the sale was < 30 mins.- Spoiler:
33 - Drygore rapier - 1,100,000 - 1.44%
Pretty fast flip was active and drygores are giving great margins again. Loving drygores at the moment. Managed to lowball another buy xD.- Spoiler:
The days review - Good first day back. Got a few investments running from a week but not really up yet on them. Started flipping again after a while so gonna try and update daily again expect atleast 3-6 flips a day.
Date: 09/15/2013
34 - Tectonic energy - 450,000 - 2.94%
Tectonic energies usually have margins of 200k-3m most ive ever gotten. Currently with verago being hard all tectonics have gone up. And well i did a pc and i flipped these inactively. Entire flip took about 45 mins though. Good margins but not sure how long the margins stay over mid. Probably till vorago easy cycle i guess.- Spoiler:
35 - Drygore mace - 1,100,000 - 1.36%
Maces have always been my favorite drygores to flip actively. What can i say, I just love drygores haha and i get decent margins atleast a minimum of 3m if i flip all 6 which i havent done lately in a while.- Spoiler:
36 - Drygore rapier - 1,100,000 - 1.46%
Another 1m+ margin and took around 30 mins for buy/sale both to complete.- Spoiler:
37 - Ahrim's book of magic - 1,380,000 - 5.18%
First time tried to overnight these. Got decent profits. This was an overnight sell. Also tried to buy some overnight as shown in the next flip.- Spoiler:
38 - Ahrim's book of magic - 669,000 - 11.48%
Good margins on these lately. Did an overnight flip of these. And since these are trading way under mid well you can always stretch the margins as u want. This was a super lowball buy overnight had offer in to buy 10 only this 1 bought lol.- Spoiler:
39 - Ahrim's book of magic - 1,676,000 - 6.89%
Did this based on the new margins. Still a decent 400k+ margin. Very good margins again
. - Spoiler:
40 - Rocktail soup - 2,087,910 - 10.27%
These usually have great margins. Expected margins can be anywhere between 20 gp - 2k gp with the usual margins being about 200-600 gp. Limit got updated to 10k/4 hours. So you will find lots of inactive flips of the soups on my merchz log. I heavily invested into these and they crashed so i kinda stopped flipping for a while. But i held on and ended up selling most of my stock for marginal profits instead of losses. These are probably on another downward swing. But that shouldnt stop anyone from making profits on these.- Spoiler:
41 - Drygore mace - 700,000 - 0.87%
Yet another drygore flip. Not bad but could have done better. Went afk for a long time came back and saw it bought so just sold for the safest i could think as i was not watching fc at all.- Spoiler:
42 - Red h'ween mask - 300,000 - 0.13%
It seems like there was a lot of panic selling on the rween masks. I wasnt really in the rquark fc but a very trusted friend (yes you Phileeep) gave me a tip saying these were crashing so i lowballed one. But since i dont really follow rares and it didnt sell for what i predicted it should for an hour. I just dumped it a little cheaper lol.- Spoiler:
The days review - Not a bad day at all made 9m+ profits and was on rs only for like an hour and a half so that went pretty well. Tried out a few new items and the usual suspects (drygores). Then again i get bored of drygores very fast lol even though i love them so look out for newer items in days to come.
Date: 09/16/2013
43 - Barrows - dharok's set - 3,282,000 - 12.7%
Great margins on this item. Flipped barrows after ages. Was supposed to be an overnight sell but 1 got left off so insta sold it after work meh. This shows that barrows flipping isnt deat just yet. - Spoiler:
44 - Dragon hatchet - 756,000 - 2.18%
This is another item that i flip a lot. Easy 30k-400k margins normally. Can also expect margins as high as 800k per at times. So these are really fast flips usually and well since im doing different items than only drygores you will see more items on here than just the drygores. Can always stretch margins by 10-100k if you want to do it inactively. But when i am semi active i try to get more flips in. I do go for quality but still i believe in quantity also. Also I have a couple of investments running so currently working with only 4 ge slots.- Spoiler:
45 - Saradomin sword - 450,000 - 5.37%
Havent flipped these in ages and i doo mean in months which makes it seem like a long long time ago. Since I was looking at different items. I tried these out and well even though the margins were just 50k it seemed like a decent flip to do.ze t These took around 50 mins to sell off. So you could probably squeeze them in as a flip and they dont share limit with anything.- Spoiler:
The days review - It was a Monday and well I work during the weekdays. Didnt really have time to get on in the morning either so few flips. But all in all pretty happy with how the day went no losses at all today also. Glad my drygore lowballs didnt fill lmao cos i wasnt on at all all day.
Date: 09/17/2013
46 - Wand of treachery - 1,189,000 - 3.88%
Was trying to buy 199 of these when I went to work. Came back and checked only 29 had bought. These have a limit of 100/4 and well the margins are anywhere from 10k-400k. However, people tend to overcut and undercut you a lot on these due to the high margins. Again a great item to flip. But I would be a little more active for the buy/sell than I was. But hey I am a working man and cant really be on rs a lot anymore. Still these are a good item to have on your daily flip list.- Spoiler:
47 - Drygore mace - 600,000 - 0.79%
Didnt really do too well. But i will still take an easy 600k specially cos it only took like 10 mins to get this done. Wasnt following it and it had crashed more so just got rid of it rather than trying to get more profits.- Spoiler:
48 - Drygore rapier - 500,000 - 0.68%
Didnt really do too well. But i will still take an easy 500k specially cos it only took like 10 mins to get this done. Wasnt following it and it had crashed more so just got rid of it rather than trying to get more profits.- Spoiler:
The days review - Another busy day irl. Did have another couple of items buying but decided to hold them as an investment as they looked good. Will post as soon as I sell them.
Date: 09/18/2013
49 - Infinity robe sets - 8,000,000 - 5.76%
One of my fav overnight items. A little risky at times but it pays out good when it works. This was one of the items that i had bought on the 17th morning and I sold right now. So a short term investment. Was trying to buy more but none bought. So had to make do with it. Overall an excellent item. Usually gives easy margins of 40k-4m depends. Normally easy to get a 400k-1m margin on these.- Spoiler:
50 - Dragon pickaxe - 3,030,000 - 3.64%
Another great inactive item. Can fetch 20k-2m margins per depending on the trends and time of the day. Was kind of slow though and got overcut a lot on the buy. The duration of this was over 1 day since i was too busy to log in to check when they sold.- Spoiler:
The days review - Didnt really do any active flips. Just sold a couple of 1 day old buys with pleasing profits:)
Date: 09/19/2013
51 - Off-hand drygore rapier - 700,500 - 1.5%
The only item i flipped today. Saw a sell price on the fc for 48b so i lowballed the buy since they seem to be going up now. And decided to play it safe since i only had so much time.- Spoiler:
52 - Death rune - 1,829,496 - 0.91%
Had been buying these for a week or 2. Held them for a week. The graph honestly looks like these should be going up anytime now. But finally ran out of patience of holding these and sold them off dirt cheap. Dont judge me on these lol since I am disappointed and i am sooo sure that now that i sold them off they will go up.
- Spoiler:
The days review - Well an eventful day i guess. Was finally able to sell off the massive sort of failed death runes investment. And I found another item that I bought into for short term.
Date: 09/20/2013
53 - Ascension crossbow - 800,000 - 0.34%
This is an item that used to give me anywhere from 200k-30m profits on flips/overnights. Just not able to find the good old margins on the asc cbows lately. But when these are a little more unstable, they are great fast flips with an easy 2-6m margin.- Spoiler:
54 - Death rune - 449,997 - 3.88%
Found better margins than my bulk investment lmao. Well this is a good item to flip from time to time.- Spoiler:
55 - Drygore rapier - 2,300,000 - 3.05%
Was trying to buy in bulk overnight only 1 bought and i sold it today so nice profits. I doo love mhr and mhm a lot lol. Best margins (on drygores) i get are on these. - Spoiler:
The days review - Finally the end of a hectic week at work. On the merchanting side i was buying another inactive flip while i flipped these actively. Got good profits on the mhr but other than that was an average day.
Date: 09/21/2013
56 - Black mask - 4,095,568 - 8.9%
This is one of my fav items to inactive. Billious really thanks for putting this on that item of the week contest hehe i love it. I can have gotten margins of 10k-300k on these in the past. One of my go to items for inactive flipping whenever i flip after a while.- Spoiler:
57 - Master wand - 629,991 - 8.75%
This item looks like it should go up soon. Havent really flipped these a lot but i think that its a good item to inactive or invest in currently. Cant really talk a lot of it as i rarely flip it. But i believe the expected margins are 5k-300k or so.- Spoiler:
58 - Drygore rapier - 1,700,000 - 2.1%
Drygores are highly unstable at the moment and show an upward swing. Just did this after i got home from a long day. Good profits here can be easy to get 1-3m profits currently. Trying to lowball other drygores. Gl all.- Spoiler:
The days review - Was out all day. Came back and found out a couple of my 1-2 day inactives/investments sold and got a nice profit on mhr. So good day so far.
Weekly summary - Not a bad week back to merching in general after a week or 2's break made 42.5m in the week and logged quite a few flips. Plus found a few good investment opportunities and sold a few of my long term investments one of them being without screenshots. Time to aim for 60m+ for next week. Hope the diary week helped atleast some people in flipping.

Profits this week:45,759,234 gp
Date:09/23/2013
1 - Drygore longsword - 1,600,000 - 1.81%
Drygores have been very unstable lately. Today when I got back from work, I found out that they had actually gone up a lot. So I tried to flip a few of them. This is one of the successful flips. If i was home all day i would have easily had a few flips of 2-3m each.- Spoiler:
2 - Off-hand drygore longsword - 1,300,000 - 2.13%
Another flip on the rising drygores. I was happy with any margins that were over 1.1m basically since i did not have a lot of time following them throughout the day as i usually used to have and got used to.- Spoiler:
The days review - Was a busy day. With the mentoring and work and all I barely had time to flip today. I was only able to sell the above 2 flips for decent profits. The rest of the drygores didnt sell till i fell asleep. Will try to finish those flips tomorrow.
09/24/2013:
3 - Drygore rapier - 1,700,000 - 2.26%
After the initial rise it seems like drygores are falling big time today. Due to the crash I lowballed the sell on this one. The 1.7m was a good margin for a very very quick sale.- Spoiler:
The days review - I only really worked with mhr today. Did this one flip and sold another 6 that i had been holding for a while. However the screenshots on those didnt go through for some wierd reason. I ended up making only 700k on each of the 6. Other than that i put in 2-3 offers for overnight buys. Hopefully those complete tomorrow.
09/25/2013:
4 - Black dragonhide set - 418,790 - 515.69%
It seems like nobody was buying/selling these at all. I was investing/flipping black dragon leather and well i did a pc for the set and the parts. No buy for 100k.. So i flipped 5 of them and the rest will be covered when i sell the investment off. I guess it can be stretched. You just have to be patient to sell thats all.- Spoiler:
5 - Saradomin godsword - 2,970,000 - 0.86%
Good margins. Was an easy 400k margin here. Usually easy to get 100k- up to 1.5m margins easily on these. Was not really patient on these as i was trying to flip party hats at the same time today. Not happy % wise but almost 3m i will take that.- Spoiler:
6 - Purple partyhat - 10,000,000 - 0.74%
I am still only starting to follow these and learn how to flip these. Phileep all credit for this one goes to you and the others in smrank who were talking about the "phat/rare crash". I bought this and then didnt know how long to hold so just decided to be content with 10m. I hope more phat flips to come in the week and following week. Lets see.- Spoiler:
The days review - My first partyhat flip in a long time !!! And I made 13m+ lol good day. Considering I got a couple of investments running which take 2-3 ge slots out of the picture. Not bad.
09/26/2013:
7 - Purple partyhat - 10,000,000 - 0.74%
First thing i did after waking up was check r quark to see how rares were doing. I bought a purple partyhat. It insta bought and i put in a fell offer. I started pcing for other things and i forgot to take the buy screenshot of the phat. However it had inbought for 1,340,000,000 gp and I sold it for 1,360,000,000gp. After that I decided to try another one since this was a fast active buy/sell. So I bought a purple and put it in ge and went to work. This is what I got another easy 10m margin. Could have tried to stretch. But I dont usually flip party hats and well it would take a major chunk out of my bank/flipping capabilities so i decided to play it safe.I believe purple partyhat has 1-60m ranges in the course of a day, but then again this is just a wild guess.- Spoiler:
8 - Green h'ween mask - 1,075,414 - 0.39%
After buying/selling one purple i had put in offers to buy this. Connor had been going on and on about r'ween the previous night so i looked into this and decided to try it out. However since it was the cheapest mask i decided to play it safe as rares are unstable today and I am not going to be at home for over 9 hours. Thats why my margins on the inactives are not too high currently. Also, both the masks insta bought for me so it kinda scared me to enter into the volatile market with high inactivity.- Spoiler:
The days review - Was too tired to do anything after i got home today so those are the only 2 flips done today.
09/27/2013:
9 - Black dragon leather - 2,761,876 - 3%
Like i said i had bought a bulk of black dragon leather. Just didnt feel like holding onto it anymore so i sold the stock starting last night till today morning. It actually seems like a nice buy even now. But since i am trying to flip a green partyhat i would rather have some more cash in hand just in case.- Spoiler:
10 - Green partyhat - 12,326,554 - 0.73%
Tried selling this really high all day but it didnt really sell so after i came back home i did an instant sell cos it tied up pretty much all my cash stack.- Spoiler:
11 - Tetsu helm - 616,600 - 14.78%
This was a mentor/mentee duo session flip. Came back home after a busy tiring day and gave out a few lessons. Besides tetsu/seasinger/death lotus are great items to flip with usually good margins. Expected margins on the helm can be 10k-1.2m not bad for a low value item which is why i chose tetsu helm and tetsu body as the duo items.- Spoiler:
The days review - Another venture into the unknown realm of partyhats. So far did 4 total phat flips without getting burned. Might be reading the trends right and im still playing it safe. Could push for profits but the amount of inactivity in between scares me from doing so.
09/28/2013:
12 - Ahrim's wand - 990,000 - 2.03%
Just wanted to try out something different. This seems like a good item to flip inactively/overnight. And for some reason I always thought that ahrims wand had a limit of 5/4 but found out its a 10/4 item.- Spoiler:
The days review - Attended many events today and was busy mentoring so didnt really have time to flip. I do have an infinity robe sets flip running. However it seems like it will take a while to sell.
Weekly summary - Was a good week all in all. Got to 1.9b profits this week hopefully will get to 2b+ profits next week or the week after that. Tried flipping a few party hats. And well it did go well. No losses this week. Plus holding onto an item or 2 for a while to see how it will go. Made over 45m profits this week. While being inactive for the most part. A very good week profit wise if you ask me. The % margins were not too high on all but i flipped partyhats and well it was my first time so i dont complain about it.

- week from 09/30/2013:
Going multi accounting again
Starting Total Merchantable Bank:1,323,973,395 gp
*Starting Total Merchantable Bank:60,000,000 gp (used 6.5m for bond out of this for mems)
#Starting Total Merchantable Bank:60,000,000 gp (used 6.5m for bond out of this for mems)
Ending Total Merchantable Bank: lost 60m on one account for dicing. Got 65m on one account and 1410m on the other account.
Profits this week:20,641,845 gp
Date:09/30/2013
*1 - Tectonic energy - 750,000 - 5.68%
Only have 53.5m on my noob to flip with. So decided to try out a few things. Tectonic energies are very cheap and have good margins usually. So this is my first flip on this account. Lets see if the other item buys or not. Gl to me. This was an active flip with all the energies buying fast within 6 minutes and selling all took another 20 minutes. These could give margins of up to 150-200k at times.- Spoiler:
2 - Tectonic energy - 675,000 - 5.68%
I did the pc for this on my main account. And after all the energies bought on the 2nd account (*), I decided to finish flipping them on here too for the same margins. Margins could be easily stretched but i feel like doing some active flipping right now. So here it is.- Spoiler:
The days review - Was soo excited about two accounting. I do have money on the third account but i am not starting it yet. I have a few things buying on both accounts. But focusing more on the minion than on the main currently. Lets see trying to sell a few items on both accounts hopefully they dont crash on me.
10/01/2013:
#3 - Ascension Keystone Quartus - 1,584,000 - 7.82%
This was the first item that came to mind for inactiving on the noob. The second was the tectonic energy. But as you know keys take a while to buy/sell and people keep undercutting/overcutting you. And since i am usually working or sleeping well this seemed like a good item to do at that point of time. Not bad for a margin but the percentage doesnt do the item justice. Will hopefully get better keys hopefully sooner rather than later.- Spoiler:
#4 - Black mask - 226,000 - 2.54%
This was another flip that i could pull off with the money that i had left on me while waiting on keys to sell. Also was a proof of concept for the competition i am setting up for the weekend.- Spoiler:
The days review - Another day gone was hoping for 5m on the quartus keystones but oh well. Got to move tomorrow so was busy all day with stuff. Should get more time to flip in a day or 2.
10/02/2013:
#5 - Royal torsion spring - 1,520,000 - 25.17%
Nice percentages on the item. Was a proof of concept for the competition. But this item has facinated me ever since i invested in it. Nice margins for a low value item. One of the few must flip items at low wealth. For a 100/4 item it gives margins of 10k-200k easily if you inactive it properly and are patient enough.- Spoiler:
The days review - Just managed to sell one of the inactives today. Got another 2 running. Been trying to lowball a purple partyhat for 2 days now.. No luck !!! ughhh i need to do something about the number of flips. Weekend soon so hopefully i can pull that around.
10/02/2013:
#6 - Armadyl godsword - 3,150,000 - 5.58%
Its been a while since i flipped these. And this alternate account actually made me want to flip these again. Since it fits right into the budget. Didnt know ags had good margins again. Its now on my to be flipped list along with sgs. Bgs is also a good item to flip but these margins well these seemed to be better. I think one can get margins of 30k-700k on the AGS as it is now. I did try to sell it high overnight but none sold so i rethought my sale price and settled for what i got which is still good considering what i got a few months back. AGS does seem to be going up so investors keep an eye on it.- Spoiler:
#7 - Ascension bolts - 414,845 - 25.77%
A very good go to item for low wealth flips. Can easily help make a few 100k+ with margins ranging between 100k-1m(when lucky). This item has best potential when inactively flipped as the margins can be stretched both up and down. I got a little hasty and instant sold the remaining stock that bought after i got home since i want to do new items for the log. But ya this should give you a decent idea of how much this item fluctuates. So for all the new merchers who have never try this item. Try it!! and DO stretch the margins a bit or atleast try to as you will be surprised by the results.- Spoiler:
The days review - Got another couple of flips done today. Still buying that purple party hat cant believe how much time the buy is taking. Other than that very busy day today also.
10/03/2013:
#8 - Tectonic energy - 1,520,000 - 3.99%
I have been lazy about finding items lol and with a 60m limit i feel that this item is giving out stable profits for low cost. I mean a 1m+ item with a 50-200k margin is a must flip for anyone so be ready to see a lot of these in coming weeks. Specially with almost all my gold tied up in the phat. I am trying to stress on the fact for people with low wealth DO flip these without fail. Inactively flipping them will be good but actively works too.- Spoiler:
#9 - Zamorakian spear - 1,480,000 - 14.6%
So I decided to flip this item and i put the offer into to buy this on wednesday morning and just didnt have time to check my noob account today at all till night. I checked the graph before buying and the pc was also below mid. However, after i logged on and checked zamorakian spears seemed to be going up with both high and low pc going over mid. So this turned out to be a very good inactive. Zamrakian spears are a good safe inactive. Even if they fall i doubt you will lose more than 1-2m from the entire limit.- Spoiler:
The days review - So the purple phat finally bought but it still didnt sell. Plus diced away a bit of cash so the main is kind of indisposed at the moment for flipping. However got a couple of decent flips in on the noob. And i think that the tectonic energies are worth repeating cos i do want to make profits too along with doing newer items daily. And with the time limitations that i am facing currently i believe it better to just keep flipping the energies.
10/04/2013:
#10 - Tectonic energy - 1,200,000 - 10.91%
Off work and back to flipping for a tiny bit before partying since its friday evening !! So first item i go for is one proof of concept for the competition hosted by me and the next one is tectonic energy. Seems like the margins on these are still holding. So dont forget to flip these every 4 hours. Another easy and fast 1.2m made. Really loving this item.- Spoiler:
#11 - Morrigan's javelin - 145,000 - 9.39%
This was a trial flip to see how the items of the competition are going. Seems decent but i am sure that people will be able to go really high on the %ages of this item. So looking forward to what gets posted. I believe on an average day margins on this can be stretched to 300k for the limit.- Spoiler:
The days review - Only had an hour to try and flip because it has been a long week and it is friday so time to wind down and enjoy myself some.
10/05/2013:
12 - Tectonic energy - 1,818,000 - 19.24%
Time to start making some money on the main too. Starting off the morning with a tectonic energy flip. Again the margins seem to be better if you fix your own sell and buy price rather than relying heavily on the pc.- Spoiler:
#13 - Tectonic energy - 1,818,000 - 19.24%
Did the same flip with same margins on my alternate account.- Spoiler:
#14 - Tectonic energy - 1,683,000 - 18.46%
All i am flipping is this and selling off purple phat which still hasnt sold and another couple of flips.- Spoiler:
15 - Tectonic energy - 1,476,000 - 15.77%
All i am flipping is this and selling off purple phat which still hasnt sold and another couple of flips.- Spoiler:
#16 - Tectonic energy - 2,000,000 - 19.05%
All i am flipping is this and selling off purple phat which still hasnt sold and another couple of flips.- Spoiler:
The days review - Lost screenshots on a couple of flips and still selling one of them. Well this day points to what happens when you flip a profitable every 4 hours. Something that not many people do. Well the profits stack up and its good to make fast easy cash isnt it?
10/06/2013:
#17 - Vesta's longsword - 1,000,000 - 2.7%
Was just looking at the margins for the competition. Were quite low but thats common because of the undercut/overcut for competition. Eagerly awaiting to see what people post. I believe that the usual margins on this item have decreased because of its value. It used to be 20-30m when i used to flip it now its at 10m or so. So my predictions on the margins per item for Vesta's longsword is around 100k-1.3m is possible depending on patience and lowballing.- Spoiler:
The days review - Just sold off one of my inactives from yesterday. It finally sold. Other than that havent done anything yet.
Weekly summary - Not such a good week for flipping and dicing in general. Made about 20m. Lost 30m on a purple partyhat that i instasold today. Was highly inactive with moving to a new apartment and buying stuff and work. Oh well hopefully i can pull off 40-50m next week.
- Week From 10/14/2013:
Starting Total Merchantable Bank:1,100,000 gp
*Starting Total Merchantable Bank:67,243,000 gp (used 6.5m for bond out of this for mems)// ran out of mems so not using this for the week
Ending Total Merchantable Bank:
Profits this week:33,622,951
Date:10/14/2013
*1 - Tectonic energy - 2,100,000 - 6.8%
So i was buying these for a few days finally got on rs on monday after buying these friday to sunday. Found out that the price had started falling already. So i just sold for whatever i got and made peace with it. Tectonic energies are very good items to fix but maybe the vorago cycle has changed causing these to fall a little. Also the release of the new range armor is coming closer as well as the new skill that could be another reason for the decline.- Spoiler:
The days review - Barely had any time at all to even get on today. All i did was sell my tectonic energies and tried to buy stuff on the main since mems on my noob is running out today.
Date:10/15/2013
2 - Wand of treachery - 1,344,000 - 1.68%
I barely had any day yesterday and so i just checked ge today morning for a bit. This is what the sales turned out as. Was selling these for a few days now. And with all the undercuts and the inactivity it somehow sold for a decent profit. I could have done way better on this.- Spoiler:
3 - Mud pie - 588,255 - 31.38%
I am pretty sure almost no1 would have thought to flip this item lol. Well if you will look closely at the screenshots you can see some potential in it. It would have been a great medium term investment but in 4 days i got bored of holding it and sold it off. If you are looking for good %ages you should sometimes look into not often traded items like mud pies. These can give you high percentages depending on if some1 else decides to get in on the game (points at the first sell). The percentage and profit took a beating since i insta sold the last batch. But again with items like mud pie it is patience that really pays the dividends with a high % yield and you can get insane margins at times and almost no margins at other times. I can almost say for sure that not more than 5-10% of the merchants even bother with this item or ever will.- Spoiler:
4 - Saradomin godsword - 3,890,000 - 0.89%
This item is on the top 20 must flip inactively list of most successful merchants. Personally one of my favourite items to flip from time to time since i get easily bored of doing the same item time and again. Potentially high risk item so it also yields high profit value. Again on my main i had a lot of items that were already bought and needed to be sold. This being one of those. So the margins could have been a lot better but again i barely logged in for 3-4 days so margins change a lot.- Spoiler:
5 - Runite ore - 458,932 - 0.34%
An interesting item to flip. Gives margins of anywhere between 20 gp and 300 gp. That combined with a 25k limit makes this a very good item to flip. However because its a high volume item you are bound to get overcut/undercut a lot. Best way to flip this is to see the graph for trends and then figure out what way seems most suitable for you, i.e. either flip actively or inactively. Active flipping will involve changing the price on every undercut/overcut and will slim the margin down considerably. On the other hand inactive flipping of this item even though risky will yield to a good margin worthy of the potential that this item holds.- Spoiler:
6 - Amulet of fury - 540,000 - 0.18%
This was plain horrible. Furies usually give very good margins of anywhere between 20k to 300k each. That combined with a 100 limit makes this a very tempting item to flip. It is a very popular item to flip among merchants which makes its price highly fluctuating. So its recommended to not try and flip the limit as the buy will take ages and the sell also will take ages. Another 4 day inactive which resulted in the price of the item falling a bit.- Spoiler:
The days review - Finally got on my main and sold off all the 4 day inactive flips. Made decent profits but could have been better if i had sold the items a lot more earlier than this. Lost sell screenshot of infinity robe sets. However most of the items had fallen a lot so not the happiest inactive flipping.
Date:10/16/2013
7 - Elysian spirit shield - 1,100,000 - 2.8%
This is an easy item to flip. All you need to do is be in nex and ss. Like all nex and ss items just lowball the buy and then sell within the given limit. I hadnt flipped fc items in a while and I think its going to be a very busy week at work so i put in some buy offers for nex and ss items this morning. It bought fairly quickly and also sold fast. Total time of the flip was around 20 minutes. Ofcourse I didnt report the buy but i did report the sell. Looks to be a promising day so far. Lets see what else is in store for today.- Spoiler:
8 - Virtus boots - 1,091,778 - 1.15%
All gloves and boots have great margins usually. I put in this offer overnight and well it crashed on me so i ended up with only a 250k profit per. But all in all virtus gloves and boots are my fav nex boot/glove pair to flip which yield up to 3 mil profits easily.- Spoiler:
9 - Torva gloves - 1,100,000 - 3.73%
It is very easy to get margins of 1-2m on nex gloves/boots. This is another example of the same. I lowballed this offer and just settled for the minimum range because i wanted a few flips to actually profit for me unlike the past few days lol. This was a 20 minute flip.- Spoiler:
10 - Pernix gloves - 600,000 - 4.69%
Today it seems like all the margins are way to close to mid. So settling for mediocre margins on the gloves. This was a fairly fast flip took around 30 minutes.- Spoiler:
11 - Pernix boots - 800,000 - 6.96%
Another decently fast flip. Not really stretching my margins a lot today. Not after all the sad flips from my past inactive ventures.- Spoiler:
The days review - Not a bad day got a few flips in today and actually made decent profits on the items. Need a lot more time to flip but this is all i can do in the 40 minutes i had today to flip. Also put in a few overnights. Going to try and flip 3a over the next 2 days lets see how it goes.
Date:10/17/2013
12 - Virtus boots - 4,600,000 - 22.55%
This was an inactive 1 day flip. And I love virtus boots. Always shines in profits compared to the other nex boots/gloves. Margins on this seem to be very high. And its very easy to lowball this one by 2-4m. If you know how to flip nex and ss items dont forget to flip v boots.- Spoiler:
The days review - Didnt really flip a lot today. Kind of losing motivation slowly but again got in a wonderful virtus boots flip. This makes me happy and feel that i still got it in me.
Date:10/19/2013
13 - Third-age robe top - 4,000,000 - 0.97%
Was just testing the third-age robe top. This was a 3 day flip. I bought 2 then tried to lowball and the lowball also filled. So i sort of panicked as i am still clueless on how to flip third-age. And well i still somehow managed a 1m profit per so not bad. Will try again soon on a different third-age.- Spoiler:
The days review - Sold off the third-age robe top. This was a venture into the unknown for me because i dont usually flip third-age. Glad i came out unscathed and with decent profits but i do think that i should stretch my profits if i ever flip this again.
Date:10/20/2013
14 - Ring of stone - 11,409,986 - 440.54%
When i bought these the graph was down and out and well ring of stones is an onyx item. An onyx item costing 185k haha i would take that any given day because the onyx itself costs 3m. So i bought a few. Then banked them and forgot all about them. These were bought on 9/24. And phileep this items credit goes to u for suggesting the buy. Well once an item goes into my bank i forget about it till i see it again lol. So here it is one of my proudest investments to day.- Spoiler:
The days review - Selling off that investment and looking at the % and profit lol it made my week.
Weekly summary - Was a bad start to the week with horrible profits on my fav items. Then went back to nex and ss and made decent profits stretched well on the virtus boots and flipped a third-age and sold my ring of stone investment. If i were to cap off talking about the week well it was interesting. Despite lack of time and my waning urge to flip/merch in general i did do some decent experimentation and i think i could look forward to 2b+ total profits in a week or 2. Stopping the week at 1,969,325,099 total profits. Lol i made 33,622,951 gp this week. Hell yea !! nice week.

Date:10/21/2013
1 - Ascension Keystone Quartus - 2,891,000 - 12.72%
In the past Ascension Keys have been a very good inactive flip for me. However lately the margins have been horrible on these. Finally found a good inactive. Got overcut on the buy so only managed to buy 49. This happens very often on this item. You need to be extremely patient to really get the flips that cover the entire potential of this item. The usual margins on ascension keys are anywhere from 5k to 250k(the 250k was true in the past not lately.. lately max i have seen is 150k per).- Spoiler:
The days review - Didnt really start flipping a lot today. Just sold one of my inactives and decided that i will shortly be going back to multi accounting.
Date:10/23/2013
2 - Off-hand drygore longsword - 1,000,000 - 1.77%
Since the announcement of sirenic items etc drygores and nex and everything has crashed HARDDD. This tends to give some good margins right now. Took me about 20 mins for this 1m flip. As usual i didnt report the buy pc but reported the sell pc.- Spoiler:
#3 - Off-hand drygore longsword - 1,100,000 - 1.94%
I finally bought mems on 3 other accounts so i will be mirroring flips and showing you guys how it is possible to really profit off fc items. This is how i do drygores usually. Flip one and depending on updates etc stretch the margins up or down depending on how much they fluctuate.- Spoiler:
4 - Drygore rapier - 1,800,000 - 2.42%
Very happy that i found some time to flip today. Drygores are really giving great margins today. This was a nice lowball offer and the entire flip from the time i put buy offer in till the sell took around 20 minutes.- Spoiler:
5 - Drygore mace - 500,000 - 0.64%
Drygores in general have good margins however some1 updated the price of the mace while i was afk. This resulting in a further crash and well i had to sell off rather than hold it since i only have 300m per acc currently.- Spoiler:
*6 - Off-hand drygore longsword - 700,000 - 1.24%
Yet another reduced margin flip. The margins got updated and well it sucked to be me. Still made around 2-3m total on this item in these 4 hours so that works.- Spoiler:
*7 - Drygore longsword - 1,100,000 - 1.29%
This one took a bit of time to buy so settled for what i got.- Spoiler:
8 - Off-hand drygore mace - 1,000,000 - 2.74%
It took around 2 hours to buy this so well not worth the time spent in the lowball.- Spoiler:
^9 - Off-hand drygore longsword - 700,000 - 1.23%
So the price of the ohl had fallen. This flip took around 4 hours to complete. Shows what can happen while trying to flip drygores.- Spoiler:
10 - Drygore rapier - 2,300,000 - 3.04%
This was one of my best drygore flips of the day. Took around 8 hours to sell. But the profits speak for themselves. Helps to show the potential to try and flip drygores inactively.- Spoiler:
11 - Tectonic energy - 661,455 - 8.68%
Just got back into tectonic energies today cos they are a 10/4 item and they are dropping a lot lately. Will maybe try and hoard them but not sure if i should actually do that or not.- Spoiler:
The days review - Finally started multi accounting and the first day seemed like i am back home after a long time. Previously i used to run 3 accounts non stop for 3-4 months and well i made bank doing that. This time i have a lot less time and all so lets see where this experiment takes me.
Date:10/24/2013
^12 - Dragon pickaxe - 1,610,000 - 1.57%
This is a flip made with the goal being to post the entry into the competition. So ya this was an inactive long flip of 7 dragon pickaxes. As i have mentioned earlier in my diary, dragon pickaxes are a very good item to inactively/actively flip. Since lots of people were flipping 10/4 items i got only 7 buys in. As you can see the item still gave good margins.- Spoiler:
*13 - Dragon platebody - 1,165,000 - 2.29%
Another item flipped for the competition. This is another very good 10.4 item to flip. U can expect margins of 20k-400k on it. The average inactive margins are around 100k-170k mark so you can always get away with 1m+ profits for the limit. Again due to linked limits and other reasons dragon platebodies are not as popular as they should be for flipping.- Spoiler:
14 - Drygore mace - 600,000 - 0.44%
Dropped after buying it. Took a day to finally sell lol. Shouldnt have sat on it too long but meh was too busy to do anything better with the monies.- Spoiler:
The days review - A decent day overall. Still getting back into the groove of flipping. Trying to overnight torva as it looks to be down and out. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
Date:10/25/2013
^15 - Zamorakian spear - 1,180,000 - 2.84%
Tried to inactively flip these. The margins should have been better than this but meh i will take a 1m marign. Currently very close to 2b total profits. So i just want to get there now. The zamorakian spears usually give total margins of 500k-2.5m easily and are one of my favorite items to flip.- Spoiler:
16 - Torva platebody - 3,000,000 - 2.34%
This was an overnight. I noticed that torva has really crashed hard. So i bought a few on all accounts to overnight with. Nice flip overall. Got good margins. And i havent flipped nex/ss in a while. So expected margins per torva platebody i believe would be 200k-3m each depending on patience and time to flip.- Spoiler:
17 - Torva full helm - 2,200,000 - 3.2%
Was overnighting all torva pieces helm, body, legs. Another successful overnight. With the tfh i believe expected current margins to be 500k-2m.- Spoiler:
^18 - Torva platelegs - 800,000 - 1.92%
Torva platelegs currently seem to hold a nice margin. Can expect anything from 500k-2m profits on these depending on current trend. This was a 30 min active flip.- Spoiler:
19 - Torva platelegs - 4,000,000 - 2.47%
Torva platelegs currently seem to hold a nice margin. Can expect anything from 500k-2m profits on these depending on current trend. This was an overnight flip and well i will take it :Dsoo close to 2b profits now !!! 3-4m more needed woowowoowowowow.- Spoiler:
20 - Tectonic energy - 2,800,000 - 11.72%
Seems like i might not be able to stem the crash so sold off these 30 that i had bought over the last 2-3 days. Still managed to make decent profits. This is honestly one of my fav items to flip specially cos it is low wealth and gives much better profits than most ites that fall into this category.- buy image:
- sell image:
The days review - Soo close to 2b profits... cant think of anything other than that !!!! However its friday night and i refuse to stay at home so put in more torva offers and off i go.
Date:10/26/2013
*21 - Torva platebody - 2,600,000 - 2.04%
Ended up overnighting/1 daying this bunch. Got nice profits for them and it seems like torva might go up but again thats a 50-50 based on the barrows update that is coming up.
GOT 2B PROFITS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@$!!!%!!!@^&*~
My merchz log!!- Spoiler:
*22 - Torva platelegs - 2,000,000 - 2.4%
Ended up holding these also for a day. Because i never logged into the account for a day or so. Sold off while inactive so no idea how long it took but ya the risks i took in overnighting/holding torva paid off. Seems like even drygores are going up a tiny bit might try them in the next few days.- Spoiler:
^23 - Virtus boots - 2,450,998 - 15.61%
This was a lowball buy. Got it and then sold it before any1 updated the price lol. Was inactive too so the time of completion was about 5-24 hours. And well virtus boots are still one of my fav nex items to flip.- Spoiler:
#24 - Pernix gloves - 1,000,000 - 8.7%
This was a fast active flip. Took around 1 hour to complete. And ya the buy was again a lowball. I lowball all nex gloves/boots in general.- Spoiler:
The days review - Wooot made 2b total profits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All in all a decent day didnt really flip a lot.
The weeks review - Made a profit of 39.4m this week and i am extremely happy with that. Went back to 4 accounting but well didnt utilize it as well as i planned on specially because i got busier than expected during the weekend. Will mostly carry on doing this for a month to just see how it works out and this shall serve as a lesson for any1 who wants to try multi accounting. Ya you will see alot of fc items and a lot of 10/4 items in here maybe a buyout or two and maybe a few investments. Lets see. Thanks for reading this weeks diary !!
- Week From 10/28/2013:
Starting Total Merchantable Bank: 1,300,000,000 gp
Ending Total Merchantable Bank:
Profits this week: 11,083,768
Date:10/28/2013
1 - Torva platelegs - 3,000,000 - 2.46%
This was a 3 day flip since i had bought it on friday and sold it on monday. Torva has crashed a lot so i felt like investing into it. However i went inactive as a merchant starting friday. And just came back today on monday evening to sell this off. Still not really unhappy with the sell. 1m profit per torva plateleg is normal but as an inactive flip/short term investment i would say it failed since i only got the margins i would get while flipping it actively.- Spoiler:
The days review - Didnt do much just sold off the torva platelegs that i had bought a few days ago. Also going to try to stretch the profits on the tectonic energies lets see how long that will take.
Date:10/29/2013
2 - Virtus boots - 1,000,000 - 2.78%
One of my favourite items to flip. I had bought these on Friday along with Torva however due to the inactivity and not being on these took a while to sell, When i went inactive on friday they crashed more so i had offer in. Just checked and it had sold. All in all not a satisfactory flip. Virtus boots usually give the best margins in nex boots. You can expect anything between 400k-up to 4m. For people with ~20-30m this item is a must flip.- Spoiler:
The days review - Sold another short term inactive today but not really satisfied. Seems like i am not getting time at all today thanks to work and irl stuff.
Date:10/30/2013
3 - Tectonic energy - 2,910,000 - 17.57%
An easy and fast flipping item. However this was a 2-3 day short term investment. Was trying to wait and see if it would go up. However i barely had any time to get on and check the prices regularly so ended up just selling it off for the usual active/inactive margins. I love flipping this item and it gives out margins of 30k-200k depending on your patience and current trends.- Spoiler:
The days review - Nothing i can say about the day. Was hoping to get a lot more on the energies but i guess i will just take it since they seem like they will crash more.
Date:11/1/2013
4 - Royal torsion spring - 106,595 - 177.66%
I was trying to lowball these for 3-4 days. Had an offer in to buy 100 of them for 60k. However only one bought. And i ended up instant selling it and cancelling my buy offer after that so that it would be easy to take screenshots. This is one of my fav low wealth items to flip, since I am more into flipping 10/4 items as compared to the higher limit items. Usually you can get margins of 10k-200k on this item depending on ur patient. But for getting high % flips this item is just one of the few which will give u %ages of over 70% easily if you try well enough.- Spoiler:
5 - Barrows - akrisae's set - 1,045,000 - 674.19%
I tried lowballing this for 2 days only one bought and then i probably got overcut but oh boy this lowball makes me proud. Thats because personally i hate flipping this item ;)since it is soooo slow to flip. But since it is slow to flip with scarce demand and supply. This makes for a perfect item to try and lowball. And this right here is done just to prove to myself that i can lowball :Dsince i havent really tried in a while. So yea akrisae's sets well you can get margins of 100k to 8m for the limit based off the lowball hehe. Ok joking aside i believe the usual margins for the limit can be anywhere from 100k to 3-4m. However this item is dead slow so if you end up buying the limit expect the flip to last 10 hours to 3 days. But again a nice % item.- Spoiler:
The days review - Very happy with the way my lowballs panned out. I will just be cheeky enough and call it the day of the lowballs and high %ages. And yes i know i didnt get the entire limit but with lowballing you cant really expect to buy a limit. Consider youself as being lucky if you end up with 2-6 of a 10/4 item when ur lowballing. And for whoever doesnt know what lowballing is well, Lowballing = buy way under your usual price range and sell for the usual amount. However make sure that you are not being over aggressive on the lowball and put in offers that will just never fill. Both my offers were well within the price range that i have experienced in the past. So ya if you have an offer in to buy a partyhat for 50m or something forget about it filling unless there is a ge glitch and ur lucky.
Date:11/1/2013
6 - Virtus boots - 2,000,000 - 5.71%
Checked this account after 7 days and found that the virtus boots had sold lol. So ya i got no clue as to when they sold since i hadnt even logged into this one before. I was buying them on 3 accounts but then just completely stopped using 2 accounts.- Spoiler:
7 - Virtus boots - 1,022,173 - 2.92%
Checked this account after 7 days and found that the virtus boots had sold lol. So ya i got no clue as to when they sold since i hadnt even logged into this one before. I was buying them on 3 accounts but then just completely stopped using 2 accounts.- Spoiler:
The days review - Guess i could tell u the day of the ancient flips. Logged into 2 accounts and found 2 completed flips.
The weeks review - Was a highly inactive week. Only thing i did that made me happy was the akrisae lowball other than that a way below average week as far as flipping is concerned. Only made 11m profits.

Profits this week:56,750,940
Date:11/3/2013
1 - Tectonic energy - 2,800,000 - 11.72%
This was a flip that was bought overnight and during the day on Sunday. And sold on Monday morning. Again I love tectonic energies just because of the % profits and the fact that i usually tend to get 1m margins on the limit. These are almost the easiest items to flip. You can literally do a pc and mark your own buy and sell prices above and below the pc and 90% of the time it will work out. So as far as tectonic energies are concerned the pc is only needed to give a rough estimate of the margin however dont shrink the margins by undecutting and overcutting the pc but rather stretch the margins.- Spoiler:
^2 - Teak logs - 937,131 - 12.56%
I bought these a week or so back when i still had members on this noob account. Teak logs are one of the items that i like to swing trade in. It is easy to influence the price of this item so you can literally cause ripples in the price by insta selling a few or insta buying a few. Because of this i like this item. However there is a lot of overcutting and undercutting on this item. So not really sure when this sold but it was probably a 1 week investment if you want to count it based on days. Again a very slow item but its fun to try and manip these.- Spoiler:
#3 - Divine spirit shield - 310,000 - 0.54%
I havent been following nex and ss for a while. Just got in there today and wanted to flip some shields. The pc was <59 on the divine so i decided to try and buy it for 58 and the price fell down and it insta bought to me for 57.9m causing me to panic. As soon as it bought some1 reported the price and the price of divine was updated to <58m. The reporting standards of nex and ss have changed so all people who havent flipped in here for a while please dont forget to go check their forums thread. This had left me confused for a while till i took the time to figure out how it works now. But ya this flip might as well be counted as a failure.- Spoiler:
The days review - Happy about selling off some of my overnights/inactives/investemnts. And i learnt an important lesson about the changes in nex and ss pcs.
Date:11/5/2013
4 - Rocktail soup - 5,302,860 - 9.82%
Rocktail soups were one of my most flipped items at one time. A very solid and profitable item to inactively flip/overnight. Can easily get margins and profits of 1m-12m inactively. This was a 1 and a half day flip.- Spoiler:
#5 - Pernix gloves - 730,185 - 7.45%
Nex gloves and boots usually have very good margins. However with the change in pcing or due to a noob pcer i ended up with horrible margins by my standards. Made only 700k instead of the usual 1.1m+ per gloves and boots.- Spoiler:
#6 - Pernix boots - 1,000,000 - 10.2%
This was an inactive flip unlike my usual active flips. It took around 2-3 hours to complete. I was somehow able to get 1m profits on this. This sort of salvaged my pride of getting good margins on nex boots and gloves almost every time i flip them which hasnt been true in this week so far.- Spoiler:
#7 - Virtus gloves - 1,036,316 - 4.45%
Another 1m flip done. Was inactive and took around 4 hours to complete. But again a 1m+ profit which makes me happy.- Spoiler:
#8 - Virtus boots - 1,060,000 - 5.81%
This was an active flip that took around 30 minutes to complete. Virtus gloves and boots continue to profit highly for me. Both giving a 1m margin and being decently fast. Currently with the way the pcing is going on the margins on all the gloves and boots seem to have gone down. I think i need to do these a few more times to get a hang of this.- Spoiler:
#9 - Torva gloves - 1,200,000 - 5.22%
This flip took 30 minutes to finish. I feel glad that i am finally getting back to decent profits on the gloves and boots after failing to capitalize on 2 flips today.- Spoiler:
The days review - Not too happy with the day today. However it seems like i need to work on flipping nex items again to make sure i am up to date with how they pc.
Date:11/6/2013
10 - Tectonic masks - 3,700,000 - 14.07%
Flipping these after a long long time. The margins seem to be good. I believe that the time it took to sell these was around 30 mins and the time for the buy was about 3 hours. I think that the margins can be easily stretched for these. Will try that on one of the other accounts.- Spoiler:
11 - Drygore rapier - 7,300,000 - 9.64%
I had bought this sometime last week. When i looked at the prices of the drygores i was shocked to see that drygores had shot up a lot. So i decided to try and sell this and the ohr. I am very happy with the profit on this flip. 7m+ profits make it seem like a great invstment hehe.- Spoiler:
The days review - Very happy with how things turned out today. Ended up making 11m today so ya very very happy. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Date:11/8/2013
12 - Tectonic masks - 6,000,000 - 22.81%
Like i said i would be trying to stretch the margins on this. And here it is it took an extra day to do this since i was inactive on thursday and im not sure when it sold. But yea tectonic masks, body and legs are nice items to flip if you know how to and can be easily stretched for more profits since they are available in scarcity compared to most of the other things. Same applies to sirenic i guess and sirenic will be in even less supply.- Spoiler:
13 - Sirenic hauberk - 5,200,000 - 2.4%
This was my first try at flipping anything sirenic. With my work and inactivity i never got around to flipping these till now. Well i can say i tried it after this xD. I guess the sirenic armors and scales will have very high margins for a month or so since they are in very low supply at the moment. One of the best way to profit off these might be to just buy the scales and make them from scratch.- Spoiler:
14 - Off-hand drygore rapier - 4,000,000 - 7.84%
It seems like the price of the ohr just skyrocketed right now. Luckily i was in the fc to catch the upswing. Like the mid on the ohr is at around 48m and some1 just reported a ins of 55m. So i decided to try it out and bought one for 51m and surpriseee instant sold for 55m. This flip took like 5 mins to complete. The fastest luckiest 4m every made haha. Gotta love when ur in the right fc at the right time.- Spoiler:
#15 - Off-hand drygore rapier - 2,500,000 - 4.9%
It seems like the price of the ohr just skyrocketed right now. Luckily i was in the fc to catch the upswing. So i am trying to flip a few of them. Lowballing the buy by 3m lower than the fc price right now. This took me around 15 mins to buy and 5 mins to sell was very fast. Time to try and repeat this. Since 2.5m is good enough to work for.- Spoiler:
*16 - Off-hand drygore rapier - 2,000,000 - 3.88%
I tried to replicate the other 2 flips on the 3rd account. This time i could not buy for 51m so had to bump the offer up after waiting 20 mins and was forced to sell low since it wouldnt sell for 54m for 20 mins. The total time of this flip was around 1 hour 40 mins. But again since i had multiple accounts i made an easy 4.5m so far extra off the same item making it a total of 8.5m off the same item in an hour and 45 mins.- Spoiler:
17 - Drygore rapier - 2,400,000 - 3.01%
All drygores seem to be showing some nice fluctuations right now so time to start buying all of them and repeating what works on the other accounts. I lowballed the buy on this one and got a nice 2.4m margin on it. Currently its very easy to make 1m-5m off each drygore depending on the fluctuation and the amount u lowball it to. However it is very important not to lowball too much since it might not buy at all. Greed is good but too much greed will lead to no profits whatsoever.- Spoiler:
18 - Drygore mace - 1,500,000 - 1.85%
I guess i could have done better with the mace but right now i am trying to race julij2 for more profits so i will take whatever i get and move on since i finally found time to mass flip after a long time. This took around 30 mins to complete. And as such was yet another active flip.- Spoiler:
^19 - Drygore rapier - 1,300,000 - 1.6%
This was another attempt to replicate the profits i got from the mhr however the margins seem to be settling for now. The drygores might actually fall a little and correct for a day or two before maybe stirring again.- Spoiler:
^20 - Drygore mace - 1,800,000 - 2.22%
This was another attempt to replicate the profits i got from the mhm however the margins seem to be settling for now. The drygores might actually fall a little and correct for a day or two before maybe stirring again.- Spoiler:
The days review - One of the best days i have had profit wise in a while. This was interesting and fun maybe i will get back to flipping more soon.
Date:11/9/2013
21 - Ascension Keystone Tertius - 4,674,448 - 12.52%
I noticed that ascension keys have been suddenly going up. So today i put in offers on all accounts to buy a few lets see how it goes. These are all inactive offers and i expect a minimum return of 2m on each of them and a maximum of idk 12m for the 100.- Spoiler:
The days review - Trying out some inactive flipping again.
The weeks review - Very interesting and profitable week. Shows me that i still have it in me to flip when i want to. Made over 56.5m profits this week so yea a very nice week indeed.

Profits this week: over 25m
Date:11/11/2013
^1 - Ascension Keystone Secundus - 6,025,000 - 13.39%
Ascension keystones seem to be at a low and lately I have been following a few logs on merchz specially julij2's. So I decided to try these out again. ITs been a while since i flipped ascension keys. This was a 2 day inactive flip and well like always ascension keystones give good profits for the amount of cash u use to invest in them. It took 2 days for this because i never bothered to log into rs for 2 days. I believe the flip actually took 1 day or so. Currently it feels like all ascension keys are going up so have fun flipping them.
^2 - Ascension Keystone Tertius - 3,336,096 - 8.93%
All ascension keystones seem good to flip right now. So here is another flip. This one was an instant buy because some1 dumped them on me. Again a 1-1 and a half day flip. And it does take some time to buy the keys and sell them because of the constant undercutting and overcutting so patience is important on these. And if you are patient enough, The profits and percentages will speak for themselves.
*3 - Tectonic energy - 4,300,000 - 55.84%%
Tectonic energy had been falling for the last 2-3 weeks now. I had bought 10 at 770k because i believe that the usual fluctuation of tectonic energies is anywhere between 700k to 1.5k each. I bought these and i put in offer on saturday to sell the energies at 1.5k each since i say a tiny trend reversal on these. And sure as it would be they sold for a great 55% profit xD. I doo love these items and well they are one of the safest items to flip/invest in as far as i am concerned. This was 1 to 1 and a half week investment. Had bought the item and was gonna just wait it out till it went up.
4 - Manta ray - 2,055,815 - 18.83%%
I have a tendancy to once in a while go pick an item which i feel no1 flips and just accept the challenge and flip it somehow till my patience runs out. Manta rays are a SLOWWW item to flip. Very rarely traded item which makes it a good item to highball and high snipe. However this item really really tests your patience. But all in all this gives good profits. It took me 5 days to flip this. Buying is slow and if you are patient you can get away with a nice margin on it too. If you get undercut DO undercut them otherwise it will take ages to sell off the manta rays.
The days review - Was a good day sold off a few investments and inactives and got nice percentages which makes me happy.
Date:11/13/2013
5 - Drygore rapier - 1,500,000 - 2.03%
With the release of the barrows update. I decided to test out drygores today. So be ready to see a lot of drygore flips. I lowballed the mhr by 2m and the price got updated as soon as i bought it so i ended up selling it for a 1.5m profit wanted to try and get 3m on it. Will try and lowball and stretch margins on the next account if i get to it. This was a 15 minute flip..Fast and active.
#6 - Drygore rapier - 1,700,000 - 2.3%
I tried stretching the margins on the next one. Took around 10 minutes to buy and i was able to get another 200k more on the sell than the previous one. Also this flip took around 25 mins total. When I multiaccount and am flipping drygores this is how i do it. I have offers for all drygores on my main and a few random offers on my noobs. Then if any 1 flip completes i try to replicate it and stretch margins. If the stretch doesnt work i just try and bounce off my original margins or lower the margins depending on the situation. If you took the time to read this well you should get an idea of how and why to multi account for drygores and nex because both follow similar strategies.
^7 - Drygore rapier - 2,000,000 - 2.7%
Another stretched drygore and it worked too. So I managed to start with a 1.5m margin then stretched to 1.7m and now 2m !! This worked nicely today. This was a 20 minute flip. So in all till now i spent around 30-35 mins flipping 3 mhr and made 5.2m sweet right???
*8 - Drygore rapier - 2,300,000 - 3.11%
Again bought for the same price and put in the sell for a stretched price. Made an extra 300k on this one and it took 10 mins more than the other one to sell. So in 45 mins or so i made 7.5m off the mhr. Pretty nice and happy with this progress.
The days review - I flipped a lot of drygores today. Made nice profits and was able to show how i use my multi accounts for fc items properly with good explanations so this was a win. (I got more flips which i will upload shortly running out of time for now)

^9 - Malevolent helm - 3,000,000 - 10.71%
This was my first attempt at flipping malevolent. I was scared to do it but decided to man up and go do it. I did a pc which gave me margins of 32-33m so i decided to lowball the buy and managed to get it for 28m and sold it for 31m since the market is very volatile for malevolent items. (Yes i do pc 2/4 items since i have multiple accounts but my buys are usually lowballs and not inside the pc.)
The days review - Did my first malevolent flip today. This week has been good so far havent had a single failed flip. Hope things go on in the same way.

10 - Yew composite bow - 1,438 - 71900%
First off before you start judging this entry well it is a troll entry i will agree to that. Was done for the tt week competition. But the main reason for this is to show how SNIPING works. All treasure trail items are traded very less. So these items make for great items to snipe. People who do clues get rewards and want to sell them off almost instantly. This makes for good sniping grounds. Put the offer in at a reasonably low price. For comp bows offers of 1 to 100 can fill up. If you are looking at masks you might want to put in offers of 100-300k to try and snipe them. Usually all treasure trail items are either hoarded or dumped and have very low trade volumes except the ranger boots and the robin hood hat which are traded a lot thanks to pc 101. You can also easily high snipe a treasure trail item by putting in a price of up to 50% over the ge mid and leave it in for a few days and it should usually sell depending on the item.
The days review - Did a nice troll flip which might win me the comp.
The weeks review - Was a nice week not sure how much i made since i havent been able to upload all my flips. But i did manage to sell off a few inactives and investments. And i failed on only 1 investment (raw manta rays) because of constant undercutting and losing patience to hold onto it. So all in all a nice profitable week.

^1 - Ascension Keystone Secundus - 6,025,000 - 13.39%
Ascension keystones seem to be at a low and lately I have been following a few logs on merchz specially julij2's. So I decided to try these out again. ITs been a while since i flipped ascension keys. This was a 2 day inactive flip and well like always ascension keystones give good profits for the amount of cash u use to invest in them. It took 2 days for this because i never bothered to log into rs for 2 days. I believe the flip actually took 1 day or so. Currently it feels like all ascension keys are going up so have fun flipping them.
- Spoiler:
^2 - Ascension Keystone Tertius - 3,336,096 - 8.93%
All ascension keystones seem good to flip right now. So here is another flip. This one was an instant buy because some1 dumped them on me. Again a 1-1 and a half day flip. And it does take some time to buy the keys and sell them because of the constant undercutting and overcutting so patience is important on these. And if you are patient enough, The profits and percentages will speak for themselves.
- Spoiler:
*3 - Tectonic energy - 4,300,000 - 55.84%%
Tectonic energy had been falling for the last 2-3 weeks now. I had bought 10 at 770k because i believe that the usual fluctuation of tectonic energies is anywhere between 700k to 1.5k each. I bought these and i put in offer on saturday to sell the energies at 1.5k each since i say a tiny trend reversal on these. And sure as it would be they sold for a great 55% profit xD. I doo love these items and well they are one of the safest items to flip/invest in as far as i am concerned. This was 1 to 1 and a half week investment. Had bought the item and was gonna just wait it out till it went up.
- Spoiler:
4 - Manta ray - 2,055,815 - 18.83%%
I have a tendancy to once in a while go pick an item which i feel no1 flips and just accept the challenge and flip it somehow till my patience runs out. Manta rays are a SLOWWW item to flip. Very rarely traded item which makes it a good item to highball and high snipe. However this item really really tests your patience. But all in all this gives good profits. It took me 5 days to flip this. Buying is slow and if you are patient you can get away with a nice margin on it too. If you get undercut DO undercut them otherwise it will take ages to sell off the manta rays.
- Spoiler:
The days review - Was a good day sold off a few investments and inactives and got nice percentages which makes me happy.

5 - Drygore rapier - 1,500,000 - 2.03%
With the release of the barrows update. I decided to test out drygores today. So be ready to see a lot of drygore flips. I lowballed the mhr by 2m and the price got updated as soon as i bought it so i ended up selling it for a 1.5m profit wanted to try and get 3m on it. Will try and lowball and stretch margins on the next account if i get to it. This was a 15 minute flip..Fast and active.
- Spoiler:
#6 - Drygore rapier - 1,700,000 - 2.3%
I tried stretching the margins on the next one. Took around 10 minutes to buy and i was able to get another 200k more on the sell than the previous one. Also this flip took around 25 mins total. When I multiaccount and am flipping drygores this is how i do it. I have offers for all drygores on my main and a few random offers on my noobs. Then if any 1 flip completes i try to replicate it and stretch margins. If the stretch doesnt work i just try and bounce off my original margins or lower the margins depending on the situation. If you took the time to read this well you should get an idea of how and why to multi account for drygores and nex because both follow similar strategies.
