The Grand Exchange is your friend. Think of it as a RuneScape stock market that IS failsafe, relatively speaking. There will never be any market crashes, however price fluctuations can vary greatly depending on certain updates, new minigames, or whatever the case may be. After the release of PVP worlds, for instance, food prices and weapons and armor skyrocketed. I sold my full dharoks set at a price 1m over what I paid for it. However, usually these updates are announced beforehand, so you have some insider trading knowledge as to whether you want to compete or not.
Just recently I started investing in lobsters. They’d sell at night at the market price: 220 / lobster, but then during the day the demand would be much higher and I’d be able to sell them fast at a price of 225 (lowest I go), which is only 5gp more per lobster, but when you sell them in bulk amounts ( i usually buy around 60k of lobsters to sell) 60k x 5 = 300k. Now , this is a fairly small profit for such a big investment (60k lobsters at 220 per is 13,200,000 gp.) Obviously this is a risky investment, so it is important to watch the RuneScape news and make sure if you do invest in something that it won’t go belly up.
As a general rule make sure the item isn’t too costly. The more it costs, the more investment you are making in for the less profit. Something cheap that is widely used is your best bet. Good luck.
