you need 100K to start off

wait for the price of say superior vigor or absorbtion to be high.

open the trade window with the rune trader, then LEAVE it open for like overnight. in the morning, when more people are online, the price is likely to drop for these items. aslong as you dont refresh the trade window, you can buy a rune off someone at a reasonable price and immediately sell it to the trader for the original price when you opened the window. quick money

Is this also possible with different runes?
Or with any dealer? But you can't say its a exploit cause its normal,
you could also buy the runes yesterday and wait till you can sell them.

There was a bug where you could keep the high rate of something active if you left the PC on. For example:

You waited until Superior Absorption was worth 120.000. Left your PC on. The next day you had a friend scout for the lowest price and buy stuff at that exact price. Let's say the Rune was down to 90.000. Your friend handed over the rune and you immediately sold it to the Trader for like 20 plat profit. Rinse and repeat.

The exploit was that you did not buy the rune at the high price (ugh) but instead kept the high ratio for it from during peak times but then had a friend buy the same rune at the lowest price. Thus making for quite some fast money as you could constantly sell the runes.

However, this should be fixed shouldn't it? You now have to hit request quote everytime before you sell something and if i recall it correctly the button unchecks itself after 5 minutes.
