I got 5mil cash. how can I do some merchanting to turn this into 10 or possibly 20 mil over time?

I know i can buy yews @ 250 ea, then sell for 300 ea, but that takes a while to do, and 5 mil will only turn into 6.

Stick with Santa Hats (Don't know exact sell/buy prices), but you can make a couple K's of it.

Study prices and demand on stuff.

go to falador and look for sales, or maybe even chant random stuff and see if noobs sell..
Then you get either alot of that certain item to make it attractive to a high lvl player and sell for a bigger price then you paid.. or you just get lucky with a few random stuff.

Merchanting takes time, it's a thing combined with luck and knowlegde about what you're buying and selling.

That actually doesn't take as long as you think, try seers world 2, a lot of people there are buying yews

Indeed, a friend of mine that started RS up again made about 500k, still level 3, within the hour (;x). Easy way for him to buy himself some levels.

LMAO.

Maybe you should take some time to level up your skills.

I've heard of 2 guys. The first one was called Evanpop. He was a level 3 with a blue party hat and blue mask, he was cutting willows with his rune axe, and started celebrating his 90 woodcutting level. Then he said "Oh man, 500k exp to go till level up" I looked him up on highscores, and if I remember correctly, he had every single non combat related skill at at least level 90.

The second guy was called pure99skillz. Some of you may know him. He is aiming to get level 99 at every non combat related skill. So far he has succeded at Fishing, firemaking, and others I can't remember.

Maybe if everyone here took more time to just level up their non combat related skills and not worry about Combat for a while, you would be raking in the cash. I know it takes a long time, but just look at how long these guys must have been playing to level up their skills so high, and they probably haven't once even taken a think about their combat levels! I know Evanpop on rsband b, I'll see if I can get him to give me a pic of his stats.

This is by far the best answer yet. Why merchant and be filthy rich when your stats suck and you have no respect. Sure some of us are better off than others but i dont see the point in a lvl 3 having a blue party hat etc.. la de da! I hate party hats and have a few sets that are collecting dust, never to see the runescape world again. Good riddance.

IMO if you have the stats the money will come with it..
