How Gold ore trades on the Grand Exchange

Ores are consumed by Smithing and by clue-scroll rewards. F2P ores in particular see steady active daily trade. A very high buy limit means one full cycle can move a lot of capital, so the margin per unit does not need to be large for the flip to be worth doing. It is F2P tradeable, so both F2P and members accounts can see and trade it. Its margin has been volatile in the last hour, so treat this snapshot with extra caution and check the live numbers first.
