Flax

I should use this with a spinning wheel. Flax is a members-only item traded on the Old School RuneScape Grand Exchange.

Flax sells for a mere 1 gp on the Grand Exchange, so profit here comes from flipping in bulk rather than large per-item margins.

Flax sees extraordinary trading activity at 226,812 trades, reflecting massive player demand across the game. With a buy limit of 13,000 every 4 hours, you can trade in large quantities per session. At the current margin, flipping the full buy limit yields up to 13,000 gp profit every 4 hours.

Flax currently has a positive margin of 1 gp after the GE tax, resulting in an ROI of 100.0%. Flax earns a 6/10 flip rating, suggesting moderate opportunity that depends on timing and fill speed.

Flax has a high alchemy value of 3 gp, but at the current buy price it is not profitable to alch.

Price has been stable over the last hour (0.0% change), which generally makes for more predictable fills.

With a tight spread, instant buy-and-sell is a viable approach for Flax. Undercutting the instant buy by a small amount (1 GP to a few hundred GP) is usually enough to get priority in the queue. High trading volume means offers tend to fill quickly, making this suitable for active flipping sessions where you want fast turnover.
