Using Ge Tracker I was able to find some very obscure items which have had their ge values pumped. One of these items being the dragon bitter flatpack, ge value shows 288gp but ge tracker shows actively traded at 100-800k for approximately 2000 items.

Here are some screenshots on getracker and in-game about the item.

Curious, I made this item at the POH and left it in the ge overnight for 110k and to my surprise it sold. Meaning whoever is behind this is still active.

I was looking for a place to report this to Jagex but couldn't find anywhere but the forums so hopefully someone from Jagex sees this to help combat gold sellers.

Assume each player daily Ge logs 1KB on average. Daily player count across OSRS and rs3 100,000+ players daily. That’s 100MB per day. So pretty possible but no idea of time cost to filter the logs. However, if logging is even implemented, that’s another question. We are selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price so that we may survive.
My loss is your gain.

This isn't necessarily a scam item.

Test some of the bacon items, and I think those are just rarely traded. It's fun testing and discovering some random item that inb for 1m.

You don't need a tracker. Just take 50m and inb random things. You'll hit something interesting before too long.

The problem with items like this, they rarely trade. If an item is like this and f2p, that's gold. Because that's what people use to move gp, which certainly carries a criminal element to it.

I don't actually buy/sell low volume items. I've only tested them. The profit isn't much, in my past experience. My only alt is fully unlocked, has been a member before. So...
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(
