Did Runescape Taxes Kill Flipping? 

I agree, I think flipping with the tax make it a bit more difficult for beginners but in the long run gives better results for advanced flippers because of better margins.

I've been waiting on you to cover this topic since the GE tax was announced ;)

As you stated in your previous video, how Jagex chose to display the price of the item you're selling and your earnings makes it a bit confusing, so hopefully they fix it. But it doesn't affect profits as much since the people selling the items that you buy to flip also receive the same tax, so it basically equals out.

what if you are flipping something like a pwand or something? Something expensive, the 2% becomes quite large.

Do you think Azure sunshines will be a viable long term hold? Based off of the last Asure scroll that hit max cash stack within 9 months of release. Sunshines are almost at the lowest they've been since release.

This is about osrs but might still be interesting for rs3 players. I just ~3 weeks ago started flipping on my osrs account again, started with 120m (~1,5-1,8b rs3) and made 40m by now. Flipping is a bit trickier than it used to be but still works very well in osrs

Loving these vids

Just going to start f2p flipping on rs3, is there tax on f2p items?

havent flipped in awhile but im here to see whatsup with the updates

Not many people do this but if I get an expensive pvm drop, I inb it on the ge and sell both of them 1 under. Now you lose 2% doing that but it's probably still better than ins.

Im watching this 3 months later, flipping NOW after this golden cape porter buff is viable but as a long term flip. Everyones lowering the price so I buy at sometimes -30% on items that will sell at next x2

I couldnt understand what you explained at 5:55 Please if someone can explain it to me in a reply id appreciate it a lot! Its the only part i didnt fully get 😕

Low value items are harder but I was making 30m per eldritch Crossbow for 3 days straight

Is gold still inflationary in rs3? Or has the tax basically stopped more gold from entering the game?

It's going to make it harder yes but if you know what you are doing then you will make money

Flipping with the new tax honestly isn't as bad as I'd thought

Flipped 200 millions to 1.5 billion my issue I have now the items I was buying for low and sold high are now high and I don't know what to buy at the moment

Good Stuff

the tax is just going to be incorporated into the calculations for margins, it wont hurt merchers it'll just hurt the players.

Flipping is great right now because a lot of people stopped doing it, but I wonder what happens in the future as more and more people realise flipping isn't dead and start doing it. The GE interface isn't too great for calculating margins after tax and I assume a lot of people have trouble with it. Many commonly traded items already have negative post-tax margins and I think that's because people don't properly calculate the margins At that point flipping might become not worth doing for a lot of items, if the average margin for an item is eg 7m and the tax is 6.9m then you will lose money on more trades and that will really eat into your profits, or alternatively you must wait longer for each trade to maintain proper margins which also hurts profits. OSRS has had the tax for a while now, I wonder what's the state of flipping there now? Did the margins stay good or become bad

strangely, I feel like the tax improved my flipping. I am getting like 5m margins (profit after tax taken out) on items like nox staves now where as I was maybe getting like 2m margins before. I think the GE tax took a lot of flipping competition out of the game to be honest. It was so brainlessly easy to find margins and now it requires a little work and skill which eliminates a ton of competition. People probably try to flip and margin test, lose a few mils on the tax and dip out lol. EDIT: I posted this before watching the video sorry. You basically said what I have theorized.

It's generally dead for some low margin items :') certainly loves to punch you while you're down indeed

Do you ever doing some pvm ? 😁

I just gather stuff myself and sell

:)

flipping is probably the scummiest thing u can do to earn money. literally making profit off someone elses time & efforts. im glad its not as easy anymore.

I just finished selling another batch a specific slayer item worth 100gp for 24k ea on the GE. find gaps in the market and exploit people who spam +20% for convenience.

Ur literally making videos about ruining the game

Can i add u on rs3? I flip like crazy we can prob make some bank
