These days I will tell you about an additional scam that has massive potential even today. However have been using this scam for many years, it's nevertheless active in both - OSRS and RS3. It has many shapes and forms and may be done in really creative ways. I will talk about a few methods to use this scam but if you ever decide to give it a try, be creative. Being creative is what makes you Runescape gold. Since I mainly play OSRS i will tell how it works in RS2007, but all of these principals can be applied within Runescape 3 as well.
How it works:
The whole idea of this scam is to get people to buy your over priced products. These over priced products can range from clue rewards to unusual items in the game. I won’t mention any kind of uncommon items, but you can find overpriced clue scroll rewards within Old School Runescape Wikia page. You can also use items that look similar, but their prices differ. A great example would be Pain amulet and Zanyte amulet. Both of these RS 07 Gold for Sale products look exactly the same, but Torture amulet costs 14m and Zanyte amulet is 21m.
Now, how do you obtain someone to buy these things from you?
This is when you get creative. 1 pretty good way to do this is to stand within the Grand exchange as well as say that you are doing the bank sale. Possess a few good products in there and put in a few bad products too. The person you may be trading will see just how much the items you have organized are worth, but the thing is that the prices are based on the Grand exchange prices. That means, that if an item costs 100k in the Grand exchange, but you might actually buy the item with regard to 10k, the trade window will nevertheless show that the worth 100k. So all you would have to perform is tell the individual to put up just a little less than the price checker says the items tend to be worth and hope he presses accept.
Another place you could use this scam may be the Duel arena. Even though i wouldn’t recommend doing that, because all the stakers tend to be smart. Unless you find someone who isn’t a professional staker, this scam won’t work. The same principals apply while using it in the duel arena. Simply put upward a few good products along with a few bad ones and hope that you get the risk. The only difference is that there's a chance of dropping the stake. But don't worry, so long as you keep doing it, you may be making a profit in the end.
Another good way to sell over priced items would be to stand in a occupied area (GE will not work) and spam that you are selling, let’s say, a Housidious banner for 1m. Get a friend in the future near you, but much enough, that you couldn’t see him clearly and have him spam that he is buying a Housidious banner with regard to say 2m. It might take some Buy OSRS Gold time, but quickly enough someone will see this as an investment chance and buy the banner from your friend and when he does which, simply hop to a different world and split all the Runescape gold you made with your own friend.
