How shop prices change

Every shop has two rates and a change per item. It sells at its sell rate times the item's value when it holds its normal stock, and buys at its buy rate. Each item it holds below normal raises both prices by the change per item, and each item above normal lowers them. A steel axe is worth 200 coins. Bob's Brilliant Axes holds 3, sells at 100%, buys at 60% and changes 2% an item, so with 3 in stock it sells one for 200 and buys one for 120, and with 4 in stock it sells one for 196 and buys one for 116. Every price is rounded down.

A shop never pays less than 10% of an item's value, however full it is, and never charges more than its sell rate plus 500%. When it holds more than normal it sells for as little as its sell rate less 100%, which at a general store is 30% of the value. Each item that changes hands is priced at the stock just before it, so the first item you sell gets the most and the first you buy costs the least.

Stock comes back one item at a time, at the restock time each row shows, and an item a shop holds above normal leaves it the same way. Every world has its own stock, which is why hopping worlds after a few trades keeps the price near its best.

General stores

A general store buys any tradeable item, at its buy rate of the item's value when it has none, and the price falls by its change per item for every one it then holds. These are every general store and its rates, best first. The last column is how many of one item you can sell before it pays its floor of 10%.

Shop price questions

Which general store pays the most? Martin Thwait's Lost and Found in the Rogues' Den and Bandit Duty Free in the Wilderness Bandit Camp pay 60% of an item's value, its high alchemy price, as do the Karamja General Store with Karamja gloves 3 and Obli's with any Karamja gloves. The Void Knight General Store and Jennifer's in Shayzien pay only 40%, but their price falls by 0.3% an item, so they pay best for a large load.

How many can I sell before the price stops falling? Until the shop pays 10% of the value. Selling a tiara (value 100) to a general store at 40% and 3% an item pays 40, 37, 34 and so on, and from the eleventh sale it pays the floor of 10.

Does hopping worlds help? Yes. Each world keeps its own stock, so selling or buying a few and then hopping trades every item near the normal price. The hopping table works out the time it costs.

What do Karamja gloves change? The TzHaar shops, Obli's, Davon's, Fernahei's, Tamayu's and Gabooty's two stores give better prices with any Karamja gloves, and Jiminua's and the Karamja General Store with Karamja gloves 3 or better. The Tokkul calculator works out the cheapest way to earn the tokkul the TzHaar shops take.

Why does Ali Morrisane sell me no runes? His rune stock opens with Rogue Trader: the first small casket of runes you open adds the elemental runes, and the first large one the rest. The runedoku solver solves the puzzle on the casket locks.

Why is a shop marked with what it needs? Many shops stand behind a quest, a skill level, a guild's entry level, quest points or an item, such as the Ranging Guild's 40 Ranged or Prifddinas after Song of the Elves. Set your levels and items under Shops you can use and tick your quests, and the cheapest shop and every table count only the shops your account can use. The list of every shop for an item still shows the others below them, each with what it needs, and the Every shop table lists what each one needs.

Is a shop the quickest way to get an item? Often, but not always. The ironman item sources calculator sets each shop that sells it beside every drop, skill, minigame and spawn that gives it, with the time each takes your account.

Does the Grand Exchange tax apply when I resell? Yes, 2% of the sale price an item, as the GE tax calculator works it out, and none on the exempt items or on a Deadman Mode world.
