so basically I’ve had a green phat offer in the ge since they hit 10b and well it still hasn’t bought… is there any chances of ever getting it? I mean some guy the other day got 2 purples and I got a red mask. But then aging I’m buying those red masks on 10 diff accs and they’re plentyful. What about buying a wine or a phat or even a wreath? Would it be better to simply invest the money instead of wasting 10 years to hopefully try and get lucky and buy a rare? I can’t even buy a blood dye ffs. Only things I’ve gotten in the past year and a half was mask set, scythe, rsh, and disk. oh and ofcourse gold phat for max cash when it first came out and couple more recently for a decent price. really wish that purple , green, white buy from ge…

With every passing year, the likelihood that one of those items is sold to the GE decreases.

However, with every passing year the likelihood that your competitors, other players with older buy offers, mess up or are inactivated for some other reason (perhaps a fault on Jagex's end), increases.

So, keep the offers in. You've already made your choice.

IMO Max cash offers for phats become less viable as runescape goes on. There are only so many phats that are on inactive accounts and it is highly unlikely any RWTer is going to just dump phats on the ge as it is easy to get a buyer well above max cash.

I saw an old player log in, get confused about how much max cash is, dump his santa in the GE, get max cash for it, and try to offer that for a phat. I told him to put max back in, wait a few months, and get his santa back.

This was maybe more than a year ago, I dunno.

But players get confused. New players will start, inheriting items from their parents. Partyhats are around. They can fill.

Inactives won't fill unless you're test buying. Inactives are different.

There was a very odd case last year in the forums where a player posted that he had just sold his red phat in the ge accidentally, wanted it back.

People questioned his claim... then it showed in the ge history, highest value of recently traded items list.

All it takes is one buy offer in the ge and one guy to sell for a trade to happen. There are lots of phats around, probably lots of max offers too. But how many people can spend 10 years keeping a max offer going?

Is it true that you need to log in at least once a week or your offer will become inactive and it won't fill ?
Absolutely.

I believe it starts anew, in the back of the line, if you log back in.

My only experience with it is I sometimes log into my alt later than every 7 days. My alt buys cheap tokens. They start buying again when I log in.

I've bought inactives before; only one sticks in my memory. I put in max cash, got a scythe, when they were just over max. I didn't make much.

Someone on my list told me he had put in an offer just an hour or two ago. So, I was very lucky.

Oh, and I have bought phats in the ge ni for max, but years ago. I've also flipped phats in the ge but again, years ago, when they were below max.

I've traded during restricted trade and before the ge was released.

After writing that, I guess an offer on the new t95 staff could also be good. Or, if there's a bow coming, an offer on that when it comes out.

Anyway, lots of ideas. I had max offers on tokens which did fill, but then the tokens returned. So, didn't make much. Lately everything I do at most breaks even.
