Lobster — GE Price Analysis
This looks tricky to eat. Lobster is a free-to-play consumable in Old School RuneScape, commonly used for healing during combat and bossing. Browse all Food & Consumables prices for live GE data.
Lobster is a staple for PvM encounters, consumed in large quantities during Slayer tasks, raids, and wilderness bossing. Steady consumption creates reliable demand on the GE.
At just 134 gp, Lobster is among the lowest-priced tradeable items — volume is everything at this price point. The buy-sell spread is 2 gp (1.5%), which indicates a tight spread common in actively traded items.
Lobster has a high alchemy value of 42 gp, but at the current buy price it is not profitable to alch.
Lobster currently has a negative margin of -4 gp after tax, meaning instant flips would result in a loss at these prices. Margins fluctuate throughout the day — check back later or set a price alert to be notified when the margin turns positive.
With 16,100 recent trades, Lobster dominates GE volume charts — offers fill almost instantly at any time of day. With a buy limit of 6,000 every 4 hours, you can trade in large quantities per session.
The 1.5% spread on Lobster is narrow, indicating healthy competition among buyers and sellers — expect fast fills but thinner margins. Price has been stable over the last hour (0.0% change), which generally makes for more predictable fills.
At the current prices, Lobster is not profitable to instant flip. If you hold this item, consider selling gradually via limit orders above the instant sell price rather than accepting the current spread loss.
Lobster is used in Cooking training. See the Cooking Calculator to compare profit margins on cooked food, or the High Alch Calculator if you have an excess to convert to GP.
