Hey guys
so i'm pretty new to OSRS and to be honest kind of linking it :D
Have a lvl 74 combat char and i'm trying to make some GP without being to involved.

Found the duty free store technique that apparently can be awesome with proper items.

Can some1 explain to me in details how it works coz youtube videos seem to over sell this right ?
I'm trying to buy items according the OSRS wiki, the profit is good but not as high as expected.
Seen the alchmate site but not sure how to use it...

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Buy some gold with your Fg, train combats up. You'll make nice gp/h with good combat stats

Pretty sure you're referring to special shops that buy at a higher value than the "regular" default buy value of shops, which is equivalent to its low alch value

Duty free bandit shop buys at high alch value I think

The way you make money is by getting items that sell for cheaper than its high alch value and then selling those items to the shop

This eliminates the need to use a nature rune, which ultimately leads to a big profit

So if you used the alchmate site, anything that is considered a profit via high alch you can buy up and sell to the duty free bandit shop

Do note that the shop reduces its buy price by like x% for each additional stock in the shop
Example, using 2% reduction
Item A = 100gp high alch value
You sell 1x Item A for 100gp
Shop now has 1x of Item A
This will reduce the price by 2%
You sell 1x Item A again. This time it's worth 98gp
You sell another 1x Item A. Now it's worth 96gp

You pretty much sell x of an item, depending on what the lowest acceptable profit margin is for you, and hop worlds then repeat

Thanks ! That's it, apparently this shop buy first at high alch value indeed.

For alchmate, seems that some items don't stay at the displayed GE price for long... reducing the profit margin a lot... Or I missed something :)

Trying to smelt bronze bars as I have seen they can bring up some profit while working on skill too.
