There are many ways to make money on Runescape. One of those ways is called
Flipping, which is one of several merchanting methods used to make money. Flipping is a act of purchasing an item at a low price and then selling that item at a higher price to generate profit. This guide will take you trough that progress. Before you start flipping there are things you need to know that will make your chances of succeeding a lot higher.
• How does the Grand Exchange work?
• How do i flip
• What do i flip
• When do i flip
• Limit items
Personally i'd say flipping is the safest way of merching on Runescape, and it's fun!
Flipping has a very wide spectra, and the more experience you gain - the better you get! Don't give up if you fail, because you gotta fail to learn sometimes - and it
gets easier.
To start flipping I recommend at least 10M cashpile to really take the fully
advantage of flipping. Lower cashpile than that and other ways of making money
is faster. (skilling, pvm, collecting etc)

To flip it's very important to understand how the Grand Exchange works, as it's the most usefull "tool" we use to flip items with.
All items have a maximum amount limit that can be bought every 4 hour.When you put in an offer in the GE, the GE starts searching for all offers meeting your price. If it don't find a meeting offer you will have to wait until it does.
All items got a guide price, which is the price that also appear in the trade interface with other players. This price is a guide price only and the buy/sell price on items can be under, guide price or over it.
In general prices constantly keeps changing and it's therefore imporant to stay upate your prices with it.
¸.•´ Getting Started
Many are those who try flipping for the first time don't know where to start. Getting started therefore also is the end for some. Giving up to fast is a common problem for new flippers. Don't worry, I'll do my very best to prevent that from happening to you.
Here is a short list of some suggested items to start with;
[Item] - [Limit]
Bakriminel Bolts 1k
Cannonballs 10k
Ganodermic Flakes 10k
Grenwall Spikes 10k
Grimy Herbs 10k
Mahogany Planks 10k
Mort Myre Fungus 10k
Oak Planks 10k
Runes 25k
Teak Planks 10k
Whiteberries 10k
Abyssal Whip 10
Akrisae's hood 10
Amulet of Range 10
Bandos Boots 10

Finding items to flip aren't always that easy. Some items have larger margins between the sell and buy price then others, and some items are harder to flip then others. Populare items that are flipped by many, often makes it harder to gain the profit you'd get if less flipped it.When you understand how to flip in basic, I recommend looking at the Tips & Tricks on page 5
¸.•´ Find prices
Before you start the flip, you gotta find the price to buy and sell at.
It's done in few short steps.
1) Buy 1 at 5% over guide price
if it dont instantly buy, raise your offer til it does.
2) Sell it 5% under guide price
if it dont sell, lower your offer til it does.
3) Note down the prices as you go, or check the GE History
The price you bought it for is estimated to be what you sell it for.
The price you sold it for is estimated to be what you buy it for.
To get the item you put in offer for, you need to make your offer better then the prices you noted down. It still doesn't mean your offer have to a lot better, in fact you can sometimes offer only a few coins more.
¬ Example
You buy 1 item for 500K, then you sell it for 450K.
You then buy the rest of the limit on this item for 451K and then sell it for 499K.
¬ Overview
499K - 451K = 48K
That means you gain a profit of 48K pr item!

• You can always flip 24/7, but profits on the same items can be very different, depending on the time of day. When i'm looking at the time, I look at EST (GMT-05:00), because a large chunk of people are using the GE at: 8-10 am, and 3-11 pm. You have a better chance of selling your flips during those times, and buying the items outside those times. From 3-4 pm, Most teens (13-18) are coming home from school, and buying the armors and supplies they need at Max to get training ASAP. As flippers, we take advantage of that. If you buy 10whips at 11 am, at 3 pm, you can put them up near max and they will most likely sell to people coming home from school who need to train. This also happens between 6-8 pm. The older gamers are coming home from work and buying what they need at Max. So, buying during the "off" hours (10am-3pm, and 11pm-8am) and selling during "peak" hours (8am-10am, and 3pm-11pm) will help you maximize proftis.
• Along with the time, you must keep a track of GE updates. You don't want your flips dropping on you, and possibly losing some money. So if it has been 18+ hours since a GE update, I recommend you at the strongest not to flip items youhave little experience and info about.
• Don't end up with ½ of what you could of got if you had waited a little longer. Wait at least 5-10 minutes before updating an offer - unless your offer starts very quickly after u put it in. That often means you can get offer a better price than the current price.
• Never risk more then what you can afford to lose.
• Use as many slots in GE as possible
• Don't hold junk, items u don't need/use or other expences. The more money you have to flip with, the more you make.
• Never give up, and keep trying. If you fail a flip, move on to another one!
• Keep in mind that finding a price on a item by buying and selling for instant prices - you will lose money. Thats why you only test 1 item!
