How to Make Money Off Merch Clans

The runescape market is one that can be player influenced, items have a price ceiling and floor, and they will either increase or decrease in price accordingly to demand. when large number of people want one common item, the value of that item will go up accordingly.

 

Merch clans are a group of players who will make the demand of a certain item artificially go up, and when the have reached a certain level of profit they will “dump” the item by selling it at a profit, when done with large number of players and with large number of money, the profit can sometimes be exceptional.

To join a merch clan, simply go to world 1,2,3 or 4 and go to the Grand Exchange, their are always some merch clan advertising like:” Join “Now we merch” clan chat ” ( Now we merch) is an actual merch clan). Before joining the clan though be ready to have money put away for investing a million gp is a good place to start.

There is one catch though, nowadays, there are many Merch Clans, and sometimes the head of these clans will not be entirely honest, and will use to clan to create a self-profit. For example, he might say to the clan buy a certain item right now and sell it at double that price, what is really going to happen is he will buy the item at the same time of you, but he will be selling the large stock of his item way before you will, and this will leave many players of the clan with inventories of unsold items that have deflated in price.

Merch clans, can still be an excellent way to make money though, that is if you play all of your cards right, when you join with one of them through clan chat, they will tell you the item to buy and the price to sell it at, the logical thing to do then is buy the item accordingly, but sell them at a lower price than that advertised, and you will be able to make as much profit as everyone, sell them too late and you will miss the “dumping” point and end up with a large number of unsold items. It can also be a good idea to maybe join a few clans at a same time to get an idea where certain items are heading, so you can efficiently predict the ones that will drop from the ones that will increase. For examples on what merch clans do just go to the runescape webpage, go to Grand Exchange and look for items that have gotten way up in price for no apparent reasons and have suddenly dropped in price, the air talisman has recently risen more than ten-fold, starting from just over 100 coins to over 1000 gold each that’s a ten times profit, if you invested 1 mil, you would’ve had 10 million by now, that is if you sold you item at just the right moment, and did not wait too long.

In conclusion, if you want to make a lot of money join a merch clan, but play it smart or you might lose big.
