How does the GE in Runescape work?

Answer 1

The G.E (grand exchange) is just a big marketplace for buying and selling pretty much any item. Talk to the grand exchange tutor who is near the entrance if you want to know how to buy and sell things. You have to speak to the tutor before you access the Grand Exchange. Once you have, simply right click on one of the grand exchange clerks and click exchange. Then you can choose whether you want to buy or sell.

To buy, simply click on the buy button, then type the item that you wish to buy. Then when the item has been searched for click on it and select how many you want. Then you can choose how much you want to spend. Medium price is the general market price, but if you wish to buy at a lower or even higher price you can change the settings on the item screen

To sell, click on the sell button, then click on the item/s in your inventory that you want to sell. Then set the price you want to sell for (higher/lower).

Some items won't sell straight away, equally some items won't buy immediately, so keep the offers in the grand exchange.

The prices in the Grand Exchange fluctuate depending on how people are buying items and selling items (an item in high demand/ low supply will increase in price, something exploited by merch clans, and an item with high supply/no or low demand will decrease in price). The Grand Exchange updates its prices anywhere between 4-24 hours.
