Why Merch Clans are scams in Runescape


You've seen the advertisements: make millions in merch clans. Join for free, right away. Buy a bunch of product then sell when they say so. Simple, right? Not so much.

What is a merch clan?

Merch clans are a pyramid scheme of sorts; based on mutual cooperation in investing on a certain item on the Grand Exchange. The problem with this is that you help other people inflate the price of a product through investing your own money, usually after they have already purchased as much as they have planned to. The merch clan leaders will then dump their supply into the high-demand market, selling instantly, and having the price drop heavily. The price of the item eventually drops past your original purchase price, causing you to lose money on every one of the items you bought. You're left with a commodity that you bought in a bubble and now are holding after it burst.

How do I lose money?

With a bloated market on your product, none of it will sell, even at cheaper rates. The effect is an ultimately low-market price for about 6 months. Now, if you are patient, high volume commodities (like fish, ores, logs, etc) will stabalize in prices. You may see that return come back but you will be sitting on the commodity for awhile.

Are all merch clans scams?

No, but at the same time, you have no way of knowing if everyone in the merch clan is acting ethically. Given the average age of a RuneScape player, you are bound to be with a bunch of childish, immature players that will do everything to take home the most gold. Your best bet is to run a merch clan with close friends or people you know in real life, people you can trust.

How can I make money on the grand exchange if merch clans ruin prices?

Easy- watch the market yourself. The "buy low sell high" cliche works- and it works well; when you know what you're doing. Patience and research are the two biggest virtues in banking off the Grand Exchange. Read our section on Investing Pros to find good items to invest in. Remember, nobody wants to miss the boat. If you're not on when the ship is sinking, then you'll be one of the weak hands trying to jump in after the hole has been plugged and the ship has set sail. Be smart with your trading, and study trends. Don't expect riches overnight; the grand exchange moves slow.
