OSRS flipping guides
Everything GE IQ knows about flipping the Grand Exchange, in one place. Start with the mechanics, then dig into the best items to flip by category and by bankroll, and use the calculators to check your maths. Written for flippers who want to understand the market, not memorise tip-of-the-day spam.
Flipping mechanics
The rules, traps, and habits that decide whether a buy slot makes money or sits idle.
OSRS flipping for beginners
From your first 100k to your first 10M. The honest path, no cherry-picked screenshots.
How the GE buy limit works
Per-item caps, the 4-hour timer rule, and why your timer never resets when you think it does.
Understanding the 2% GE tax
When it applies, the 5M cap that matters more than you think, and items that escape it entirely.
ROI vs margin: which one matters?
Two numbers, two different decisions. The 4M margin trap and the 0.5% ROI bulk play.
How to spot a profitable flip
Volume, spread, stability, fill time. A practical checklist before you commit a buy slot.
Reading flip volatility and stability
Why a stable 800k margin beats a volatile 4M margin every long week.
Insta-buy vs offer at margin
When speed beats spread, and when patience pays you 30% more on the same flip.

Ten causes ranked by how often they actually apply, with a fix for each.
