Trading large quantities

First of all apologies if this has been asked before, or if this is not the correct place to post this question. With that out of the way now to my question.

How do you trade quantities that exceed your inventory without being scammed? For example someone wants to sell x rune for 90 Pgems or other lower runes.

Thanks for the response mockinbirdreal!



There is a post where someone's trading Lo for 90 Rals. Thing is, breaking the trade doesn' t work. 20 rals= Ist, so doing it this way would net me 4.5 Ist. In the trade value guide I read that Lo= 14 Ist

Rune values can fluctuate over time, the only way to be certain of the current price range is to refer to recent prices here or on other trading sites.

Lo, for example, seems to have dropped a lot in value in the last couple of months, it's only worth around 5 Ist these days.

So it evens out. Thanks, i should've checked the price. Didn' t think of that.

Also, people that have good trust levels trade by dropping. It's the easiest way. No one will destroy the hard built reputation for a rune. But I don't recommend it otherwise.
LE: Also, this only applies to low values. Always trade high values through trade window.

Right, Lo is currently worth 5 Ist. The prices of the trade values guide are not up to date. I recommend you to use the Price Check Tool to look at recent sales.

I also wonder how people trade prices of Jah or Ber runes that exceeds the stash. Often saw prices like 100 Jah or similiar.

Just updated the price guide

For the higher prices, I see on Traderie that people trade 3/20/20 small charms, they are probably worth around 40 Jah (to be checked --> See below, I stand corrected )

Little correction: 3/20/20 are going around 100 Jah (at least latest trades I saw on traderie and the other rmt site...)

Usually for trades with an unknown individual exceeding trade window size, a fair value swap is made for whatever portion of the trade fits in the window. The point is to condense the volume of some bulk of items into something with a higher price density. For example, condensing a bucket of Jah runes down into a charm and then trading all the charms or whatever you received from the interim trades for the final trade item.

If you're trading 90 Pgems for Vex, for example, you could do:

30 pgems <-> 1/3 Vex value (idk, Ist or Mal Um or whatever)
30 pgems <-> 1/3 Vex value
30 pgems <-> 1/3 Vex value
Runes received <-> Vex

I wouldn't sweat trying to get exactly 1/3 a Vex on each trade if you're doing three even split trades on your 90 pgems. I don't think many people will care if they hand you 0.4 Vex or 0.25 Vex on a particular one, but I would be suspicious of someone who only wants to hand you 0.25 Vex for each of the three trades.


Or if you're trying to swap 80-100 Jah for a 3/20/20, you could do:

40 Jah <-> 20/20 Ptorch
25 Jah <-> 20/10/10 Anni
Ptorch + Anni + 15-37 Jah <-> 3/20/20

This is just an example I've made up, so don't take the values above as actual trade values. You basically just condense the rune value into a single high priced item, like a 40+ Life skiller, 5@/7mf sc, 7/11 sc, or something else. That way if someone does skip out on you, you still have an item that could be traded to get your runes/gems/whatever back.

Thank you all for your responses!
