Steel scimitar sells for a mere 98 gp on the Grand Exchange, so profit here comes from flipping in bulk rather than large per-item margins. The buy-sell spread is 23 gp (23.5%), which indicates a wide gap between instant buy and sell — typical of less liquid items.

Steel scimitar currently has a negative margin of -24 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.
