RuneScape Token Flipping Tutorial

Ely displays the live true prices of items such as tokens, dyes, partyhats, and discontinued items. Go through the Ely RuneScape item database to see what RS items have the highest margins and the fastest flip volume. We're looking for items that have over a 150 Million GP margin such as the Clover Parasol from Rainbow's End.

Here we find that the Clover Parasol item has a relatively high trade volume but a 177.8M item margin. To find out exact prices, we can click the search link of the Clover Parsol in the description.

According to Ely, the highest possible margin amount was 177.8m on this item which is pretty insane for something only worth 300m. So this was a good item to flip in my mind. The 200m, 250m and 299m instant buys were from today so I assumed the price would be somewhere between 200-300m. I put in a non instant buy for 221m and it filled in roughly 10 minutes or so. Normally this process could take a lot longer for other things but items such as Rainbow Capes have much higher flip rates than items such as Tribal Pets or Plague Walks.

I could have put a non instant buy at 130m, but it would probably take a lot longer to fill and there might be other people having higher non instant buy prices.

The highest buy price was 299M, so I put in a Non-Instant Sell for somewhere a bit lower around that price. Other flippers might put in offers at 298.9M or 298.8M if they were flipping it as well but I cut profits in order to increase sell speed and non-instant sold at 297m.

So within 30 minutes, I flipped 1 item for 78m GP.

At maximum efficiency, this single inventory slot would make you about 195M GP an hour and if you found 7 other items like these, that would be over 1B+ an hour with one account and you can increase your profits by flipping on more than one account. Flipping other items such as Tribal Pet Tokens at their highest point would net you around 300-800M profit every few minutes. After posting this, people might start flipping clover parasols, so you would need to discover your own items. Most people outside the FC don't know about true token prices but you can find margins on Ely and now probably flip to a Partyhat within a reasonable timeframe with enough game knowledge. Of course this takes a lot of initial GP. Normal players probably couldn't fill up 10 accounts worth of 100m-1b+ tokens. The concept of flipping these more expensive items still applies with smaller priced items and vice versa. To start off you can look into smaller items like Phoenix Mimic Backpack tokens (sub 1m) or Christmas Partyhat Jumpers (~40m) to see how flipping works then move onto larger items.
