Okay so this tool you made is pretty sick. I’ve been flipping for like 4 years and I’m tired of those crappy calculators that show the same 20 items everyone’s already flipping. This one’s different – you type in whatever item you want to check and it tells you if it’s worth flipping.
Why’s that better? Because most of the time I already have an item in mind. Maybe I saw someone buying tons of something at GE, or I noticed weird price movements, or some YouTuber mentioned an item. Now I can just search it instantly instead of hoping it shows up on some generic “best flips” list.
How I Found This Approach
Been using your tool for a few weeks now and it’s honestly changed how I flip. Before, I’d waste time scrolling through flip calculators looking at the same boring stuff. Dragon longsword, rune platebody, blah blah. Everyone’s doing those already.
Now when I’m just playing the game and something catches my attention, I can check it immediately. Like yesterday I was doing a clue scroll and needed a bronze dagger. For some reason I wondered if bronze daggers are profitable. Searched it on your tool – turns out they had 40% margins because some ironman guide mentioned them.
Made 600k in an hour just flipping bronze daggers. BRONZE DAGGERS. Who would’ve thought?
The Item ID Thing is Clutch
Sometimes I’m browsing the wiki and I see an item ID like 1234 or whatever. Instead of trying to remember the exact name, I just copy the ID and search it. Way faster than typing “Super combat potion(4)” and hoping I got the parentheses right.
Also useful when you’re looking at GE graphs on other sites. They usually show the item ID somewhere. Copy, paste, instant profit check.
Random Discoveries That Made Bank
I was watching some PvP video and the guy kept eating karambwans. Made me wonder about their margins. Searched them on your tracker – 25% profit that day. Bought 1000, sold them all within 2 hours.
Another time I was training cooking and ran out of wine. Searched “jug of wine” just curious. Had decent margins so I flipped some while training. Made the cooking session profitable instead of just expensive.
Why Everyone Else Misses These Opportunities
Most people use those flip calculators that show the same items to everyone. So everyone sees “dragon scimitar – 15% profit” and goes to flip dragon scimitars. Then margins disappear because 50 people are doing the same flip.
Your tool lets me check items that nobody else is thinking about. Random stuff that’s not on any “top flips” list but still has good margins.
Items I Check Regularly Now
Quest items are goldmines. Whenever I do a quest, I search all the items it needs. Half the time they’re profitable because other people are doing the quest too but nobody’s supplying the items.
Random food is always worth checking. Not just sharks and lobbies that everyone knows about. Weird stuff like meat pies, stews, bread. Sometimes they spike for no obvious reason.
Teleport stuff gets profitable during events or when new content releases. I searched house tablets during the last tournament and made 2M because everyone needed them for banking.
How I Use It During Different Activities
When I’m doing Slayer, I check items the monsters drop. Sometimes the drops are more profitable to flip than the actual Slayer is.
During GE trips, I watch what other people are buying and selling. Someone’s buying 1000 of something? I search it on your tool. Sometimes I find opportunities just from watching the GE crowd.
Biggest Flip Success From This Tool
I was doing Dragon Slayer 2 and needed antifire potions. Wondered if they were profitable. Your tool showed 35% margins. Turns out lots of people were doing the quest that week but nobody was supplying the potions.
Bought 500 antifire potions, sold them all in 3 hours. Made 1.8M profit. All from one random search while doing a quest.
The Timing Game
Update days are perfect for this. New quest releases? Search all the items it needs. New boss? Check its drops and supplies. I made bank during the last boss release just by checking everything related to it.
Seasonal stuff repeats every year. Christmas items, Halloween items, holiday event supplies. I keep notes on what was profitable last year and check them again when events come back.
Mobile Friendly
Interface is simple enough to use on mobile. I’ve checked flips while on the bus, at work, even in bed. Just type and tap. No complicated menus or dropdowns.
What Not to Do
Don’t just search random items hoping they’re profitable. That’s basically gambling. Use it to investigate actual hunches or observations.
Also don’t assume every good margin is worth doing. Some items show great profits but only trade once per day. You’ll be stuck holding inventory forever.
Real Talk About Profit Expectations
Some searches will show amazing opportunities. Others will show the item sucks for flipping. That’s normal. The tool just tells you the truth about whatever you’re curious about.
The best part is you’re not wasting time on items that look promising but actually aren’t. Quick search, instant answer, move on if it’s not worth it.
Why This Actually Works
Traditional calculators are reactive. They show you what was profitable yesterday. By the time you see it, it might not be profitable anymore.
This tool is proactive. You see something interesting in the game, you check it immediately. You’re ahead of the curve instead of following it.
Different Ways to Use It
Casual approach: Just check items you encounter while playing normally. No pressure to find the perfect flip.
Serious trading: Use it to investigate market movements you notice. Someone’s manipulating an item? Check if you can profit from it.
Learning tool: New to flipping? This helps you understand which items are worth watching and which ones aren’t.
The Real Advantage
Most flip tools show you the same stuff everyone else sees. This one shows you what YOU want to see. That’s the difference between following the crowd and finding your own opportunities.
OSRS economy is huge. Thousands of items, constantly changing prices. Having a tool that lets you instantly check any item you’re curious about is incredibly valuable.
