grand exchange runescape

The Grand Exchange (GE) in RuneScape is a centralized marketplace where players can buy and sell items without needing to trade directly with each other. Here's everything you need to know about it: Location & Access Old School RuneScape (OSRS): Located in Varrock, northwest of the Varrock West Bank. RuneScape 3 (RS3): Located in Falador Park (north of Falador) and Varrock (northwest of the Varrock West Bank). Free-to-play (F2P) & Members (P2P): The GE is accessible to both, but some items are members-only. How It Works Buying Items: Place an offer with your desired price. The GE matches you with the best available seller. Selling Items: List your items at a chosen price. The GE matches you with buyers. Instant Trades: If your offer matches an existing one, the trade completes immediately. Price Fluctuations: Item prices change based on supply and demand. GE Slots F2P: 2 active buy/sell slots. P2P: 8 active buy/sell slots (can be increased with Premier Club or Runecoins in RS3). GE Tax (RS3 Only) Since the Tax Rework (2022), RS3 charges a 1-2% tax on most GE sales (except bonds). OSRS has no tax. Useful Tips Price Checking: Use the "Guide Price" (OSRS) or "Market Price" (RS3) to estimate values. Margin Trading: Buy low and sell high for profit (common merchanting method). Manipulation Risks: Some items can be price-manipulated by large groupsbe cautious. High-Alch Prices: Some items sell for more to NPC shops than on the GE (check before selling). Alternatives to the GE OSRS: Player-to-player trading in places like World 302 (Varrock West Bank). RS3: Trading via the Auction House (for rare items) or direct trades. Notable GE Updates OSRS: Originally added in 2007, re-introduced in 2015 via a poll. RS3: Received a graphical rework and tax system in recent years.
