OSRS Flip Finder

How flipping OSRS items works

Flipping is buying an item at its instant-sell price and reselling at the offer price, pocketing the spread. The Grand Exchange charges a 2% tax on completed sales, and every item has daily buy limits that cap position size — but liquid items with thousands of trades per hour can return 1-5% margin per cycle, several cycles an hour.

Manual flippers refresh item lookups for hours and eyeball volume by hand. This tool does the scoring for you: it pulls the wiki real-time price feed (instant-buy/instant-sell prices plus a rolling 5-minute average and volume), filters out illiquid junk, then ranks candidates by spread times traded volume so the list stays realistic even when the buying tax and 4-hour price-change timer push offers around.

The 5-minute feed is the sweet spot for flippers: it is recent enough to catch price movements, but smooth enough to ignore single-flicker listings. Items under about 50 gp, and anything with fewer than 50 trades in the window, are filtered automatically — those cannot be flipped reliably at any budget.

Each top pick gets an AI verdict from our Llama 3.3 70B analyst: margin per item, stability risk, and one practical note like buy-limit awareness or volatility warnings. Verdicts are grounded strictly in the live data shown — the model is instructed not to invent prices or mechanics.
