How to flip Steel arrow in OSRS

Flipping Steel arrow on the Old School RuneScape Grand Exchange currently makes about 1 gp profit per item after the 2% GE tax: buy near 8 gp (the instant-sell price) and re-list near 9 gp (the instant-buy price).

The flip, step by step

  1. Place a buy offer at or just above 8 gp (the current instant-sell price).
  2. Wait for the fill. Steel arrow is extremely liquid right now, so offers at fair prices typically fill within minutes.
  3. Re-list at or just below 9 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 (7,000 per 4 hours), a full cycle is 7,000 gp on 56,000 gp of capital.
