How do real world item traders in runescape make the money?

bob b asked:


My friend bought 20 mil off of some site for runescape and it only took 8 hours for them to get it. I was wondering if anyone knew what they do to make money this fast. They obviously aren’t hacking because they need 500k on the account and it takes time. I was thinking maybe the merchant.

first if he was 80+ they kill green dragons for the 8 hours staight and 20m in 8 hours practically imposible. they have all types of accounts with lots of money on them and they go into bounty hunter and the account that has the 20m will bring full sara of zammy into bounty hunter f2p and the account recieving will kill the zammy guy there is what how much it cost now? and mosly now they kill dragons.
for a good 55k in 20mins. hope i helped clear some things.

well i dont know for sure but this is how i think they do it

they have thousands of accounts with lots of cash on them..

they log you in.
and trade 10k
log out the account (not yours)
log in a new one
trade 10k
again..
and again..
and again…
and if they have lots of ppl doing it it would take a short amout of time ;)

i dont know but i think thats how it workes

Real world item traders use autos/macros.

Macro programs are programs that need a code to do what you want. For example, an autowoodcutter. Real world item traders would put the code needed for the auto woodcutter, and then they would just sit back and do something else while the computer does it for them.

..Then, they sell all the items they’ve gotten from that macro to make money.

it’s possible that they rune-crafted/woodcut/mined, there way to that.. but you would need some high levels to start making pure profit:
MEMBER WAYS:
44 runecrafting, nature runes
this is about 2 times more profit rather than mining pure ess and selling it.

FREE WAYS:
70,55, 30 mining, adament/mithril/coal
pure profit the whole way

60 woodcutting, yew logs
you can sell them for a lot of money to people who want to firemake

MERCHANT:
saradomin sword, darkbow, or even monster drops can earn you 20mil in 8 hours, you just need to start out with like 10mil….

-hope it helps!

1. I think that user has 2 accounts to have an unfair advantage of earning money quickly.

2. I think that user kills stronger enemies, such as green dragons, and sell the rarest items in the trading areas.

Firstly whoever said they trade 10k at a time and keep changing account. that’s impossible both accounts have a trade limit not just the account giving the other money. They would of most likely bh-ed items from another account or have 49,999gp drop party’s in a quiet world which of course being under 50k the fally banker wont even call it out.

the way most people do it is with cheats ex: they use programs like auto miner they then train a skill to a high level and then use that to their advantage. They then keep training that skill non-stop and keep whatever they mined, cut, crafted ect and then sell it for how much money they need ( 20M in your case ). Another popular method is already having the money and then sell it for real money. Hope this helped=]

Depends, now real world trading is dead due to the fact that Jagex has been keeping a close look at trading routes and has taken out unbalanced trades.

Back then they auto picked flax and they auto cut willow and yews for their Gold (Money they didn’t work for). They then sold in bulk and gained money fast. They then transferred all the Gold to one account and then they sell it off there websites.

Remember, right now there is that “unbalanced trade limit”.

Also there is the chance they hacked the account for the Gold.

No chance your friend bought the Gold recently unless he bought it with a account with the Gold on it.

Lol actually some people already have that money before they trade, and they use the other 8 hours to get more money, not neccesary 20 mil, but just get money for other potential customers. It’s a possibility.

Which means the 8 hours was just a period of time to make you wait.

OR they can use trainers/bots (which are hacks.)

I think that even non-members can earn 20 mil in 8 hours if they have skill level like mining – 70+, woodcutting – 75+, and also with a smithing of 50+……. They can mine gold or cut yews or smelt mithril or adamantite bars…………. for people with high fishing like 65+ they can wear swordfish gloves and fish swordfish to make huge profits……… if they have high combat then you can kill lesser demons (non-members ) and green dragons ( members).

well actually it is a hack but these real world traders are very good at it but they also have things we call “autos” that hack 24 hours a day and bank it on another account (thats the account where they give u the money from)

so thats what they do for money.

also real world trading is not leagl so u might not want to post things on the internet saying that u did it
