flip
What does flip mean?
Setting a buy order low and a sell order high on the same item, pocketing the gap. It's quick — often resolved in minutes — and it's how players make gold without leaving the GE.
"I'm flipping armadyl items, making a few mil a day off the margin."
Origin
RuneScape Grand Exchange trading slang — flipping items off the buy/sell margin.
Frequently asked questions
Is flipping the same as merching?
Same idea — buy low, sell high — but flipping is short-term off the immediate margin, while merching holds items longer for a bigger price swing.
