Another great way to profit is to visit various shops located within Runescape. We will touch on a few of these in this chapter. The goal is to find items in demand, or "rare" items. You will want to buy common items from shops, and then resell them high to other players. If you are a member there are certain shops in Runescape that only sell items to members, and the good thing is that many of these items can be used by F2P players.

1. Rune Shops (F2P and members)

This will work in any Rune shop for any level. (However, if you have access to the Magic Guild, you can literally make millions in minutes!) When you visit the rune shops you are looking for high volumes of runes that are in stock. Mostly Death, Law, Cosmic, Chaos, Mind...any rune that is used greatly by mages. Mages rely on runes to play and gain experience. The best place I have found to sell Runes in large quantities is to visit the Wizard Tower and head up to the 3rd floor. On this floor is the caged Lesser Demon, the are normally tons of mages here as this is the prime spot to level and gain magic experience for all levels.(pic of lesser) When you arrive just ask if anyone needs runes, or if they are running low. Mages hate to interrupt there training, and love it when they can find "runners" to go get runes for them. I personally am a mage and I actually have hired "runners" to run back and forth from Varrock and other towns to buy runes from the shop, and I pay them 2-3 times more than they have purchased them for. This is just an example of how this can work. Always remember to change worlds, to try and sell your runes. You may also wish to take orders. If you choose to do this, just write down what everyone wanted, (write down there username and how much of whatever runes they wanted) Once you have this information, simply visit the rune shop purchase the runes (switch worlds to find more runes in stock.)

Tip: The more of an item in stock the less is costs. So watch the price,

when it increases to high, switch worlds, over time the stock will regenerate, then you can come back and continue to buy.

2. Caniffs Clothes Shop (member)

Have you ever wondered wear those colored gloves come from? Well here they are. This is another EASY way to make a quick profit. This shop houses many different colored robes, boot, and gloves. Red, Teal, Gold, Grey....

You may choose to only sell gloves, this is up to you. I always choose to buy complete outfits. (Gloves, Boots, Robes). Once you have bought what you would like to sell, log into a members world and go to the Varrock Marketplace:

Example:

Say you where to purchase 26 sets of Red Gloves (or any color). Each set costs you 650gp.

26 x 650gp = 16,900gp

You then sell them at the Varrock marketplace, "SELLING COLORED GLOVES 3K" (I use to sell them for 5-7K!!) A good way to choose a selling price is to see what others are selling for. Say you sold them for 4k each. 26 x 4,000gp = 104,000gp for a total profit of (104,000-16,900) 87,100gp!! When you have emptied your inventory visit the Shop again and repeat!! EASY MONEY!! Thats all I have to say. There are tons of shops where you can do this at. Another good place is the fishing shop located in Port Sarim . Here you can buy feathers, really cheap, and then resell for 10-12 gp. Always keep your eyes open when you enter a new town, and be sure to check out the shops, because you never know when you will find a gold mine!
