Grand Exchange TipsI've recently some threads reporting ''bugs'' that in reality are features of the Grand Exchange. It seems like some people have very little to no knowledge on how the systems actually works. I have gathered some basic information here that I think should help people to understand how the GE works.
Buyer always wins, seller losesBuyer always gets the excessive leftover cash of the bargain. What I mean with this is that no matter how high you offer for an item, you will always buy the cheapest one available at the time.
When selling an item, you will NEVER get more than what you asked for your item. If you set your expensive item for sale at 1 gp, you will get 1 gp. ALWAYS.
NEVER put expensive items you are not willing to lose for sale at ridiculously low prices even as a joke. I couldn't possibly stress that enough. You will more than likely lose wealth!
Do not trust the base pricesThey are never 100% correct. Prices change daily based on supply and demand. If nobody is buying an item for X price, people will eventually lower the price they are selling their items at. This rule also works vice versa. If a lot of players are buying a same item and only a few other players are selling it, they want to keep up with the competition by increasing their offer. You are a fool to think that prices would stay the same for weeks, and you're an absolute idiot if you think moderators and other staff members control the prices (yes, some people actually think so).
The GE base prices can easily be manipulated by rich players if they wanted to do so. This can be achieved by buying or selling large number of items at ridiculously low or high prices. Prices update when bargains are successfully completed. This means that commonly traded items have more up-to-date base prices than items that are traded less often.
If you are unsure of prices, always remember to check the price list by typing
