How to flip Flax in OSRS

Flipping Flax on the Old School RuneScape Grand Exchange currently makes about 1 gp profit per item after the 2% GE tax: buy near 2 gp (the instant-sell price) and re-list near 3 gp (the instant-buy price).

• Buy at (instant-sell): 2 gp
• Sell at (instant-buy): 3 gp
• Margin after 2% tax: 1 gp (50.00% ROI)
• Buy limit per 4 hours: 13,000
• 24h volume: 10,921,671 (extremely liquid)
• Max profit per limit cycle: 13,000 gp on 26,000 gp of capital

The flip, step by step

1. Place a buy offer at or just above 2 gp (the current instant-sell price).
2. Wait for the fill. Flax is extremely liquid right now, so offers at fair prices typically fill within minutes.
3. Re-list at or just below 3 gp (the current instant-buy price).
4. The GE takes 0 gp tax (2%) per item when it sells, leaving 1 gp profit each.
5. Repeat up to the buy limit (13,000 per 4 hours), a full cycle is 13,000 gp on 26,000 gp of capital.
