How to Make Money on Runescape

Trading on the Runescape Grand Exchange is a great way to make money.  In our last post, we looked at trading feathers.  They are one of the most traded items in the game, and you can make 20% profit on every trade.

Today’s item of choice is cooked shrimp.  Cooked shrimp are not one of the top traded items on the grand exchange of Runescape, but they do work for what we are looking for.

Right now, cooked shrimp sell for 3 gp each.  You can buy them for 2 gp each.  Sounds pretty small time, but if you buy at 2 gp and sell at 3 gp, you are making a 50% profit on each transaction.

The downside to this is that cooked shrimp are not one of the most traded items on the grand exchange of Runescape.  You will not be able to buy 500,000 cooked shrimp at 2 gp and sell for 3 gp in one day.

The orders need to be smaller to get filled, and will take longer on both the buy and sell side in general.  A good way to work this trading into your game is to set your buy order before you log off, or before you venture out on a quest or whatnot.  When  you log back in or return from your quest, you can check on your order.

Buying and selling cooked shrimp on the Grand Exchange can make you good money.  50% profit, plus you can get started no matter how much gp you have.  In fact, this grand exchange trading strategy works best in smaller batches, say under 10,000 shrimp per order.
