Grand Exchange
The Grand Exchange is a place where you can buy or sell goods with many traders across Runescape. The GE is located in the north-west section of Varrock, right above the west bank. The GE can be used by F2P and P2P, but the F2P players may only have two offers in queue, while the P2P players may have six. One of the GE's biggest advantages is that you can trade with anyone anywhere without moving or travelling worlds.
How to begin trading
Before you can use GE, you need to talk to Brugsen Bursen, who will give you a guide on how to use the GE. Brugsen is marked on the map with a question mark. Alternatively, you may talk to the Grand Exchange Tutor, who will give a much shorter version of Brugsen's tutorial. He stands across from Brugsen.
Buying and Selling
1.Withdraw the item you wish to sell (or GP you wish to spend)
2.Inside one of the boxes, there will be two buttons, one with an arrow pointing into a backpack, and another with an arrow pointing out of the backpack. If you wish to sell an item, press on the button with the arrow pointing out of the backpack. If you wish to buy an item, press on the button with the arrow pointing into the backpack.
3a. If you decided to buy, in the next window there will be a text box. Type the name of the item that you wish to buy, and select it in the menu.
3b. If you decided to sell, in the next window there will be no text box. Instead, you choose the item that you wish to sell in you inventory.
4a. When you have selected your item (if you are buying), you will need to decide how many you want to buy, and at what price. There is a guide price that is automatically defined, but using the arrows near the price menu, you can manually set your price.
4b. When you have selected your item (if you are selling), you will need to decide how many you want to sell (if you have more than one item) and at what price. Again, the guide price is automatically defined, but you can manually set your price as well.
5. When your offer is running, it may be completed instantly if there is a buyer waiting. Otherwise, you will have to wait for someone to buy/sell that item to you. If you set your item price higher (if buying) or lower (if selling) your offer may be completed faster. Otherwise, you can do something else while you are waiting for your offer to be completed.
6. Once the offer is completed, you can go and pick up the GP/item, either GE or any other bank, by pressing the right mouse button on the Banker, and clicking Collect.
Note: if you wish to abort your offer when you placed it, you can abort it by going to the GE and viewing your offer. Find the red X button and click on it, and your GP/item will be returned.
