Raw beef trades for 37 gp, making it one of the cheapest items on the GE.

Raw beef has very low trading volume (22 recent trades), which means wider spreads and slower fills. 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 39,000 gp profit every 4 hours.

Raw beef currently has a positive margin of 3 gp after the GE tax, resulting in an ROI of 8.1%. A flip rating of 4/10 suggests this isn't the strongest flip opportunity at the moment, but margins can shift quickly. The price has dropped 5.1% in the last hour, which could signal a buying opportunity if the margin improves.

Raw beef has a high alchemy value of 1 gp, but at the current buy price it is not profitable to alch.

The price has dropped sharply — down 5.1% in the last hour. This could signal a sell-off or increased supply; it may be worth waiting for the price to stabilise before entering a flip.

With a tight spread, instant buy-and-sell is a viable approach for Raw beef. Undercutting the instant buy by a small amount (1 GP to a few hundred GP) is usually enough to get priority in the queue. Volume is relatively low, so expect fills to take longer — set your offers and check back rather than watching the screen. Avoid over-committing capital to a single slot with this item.
