The grand exchange was made in an effort to combat merchanting. All it accomplished by doing this was to unite merchanters. Instead of their being 1 good merchant who merchanted prices by himself there is every kid with 200k all uniting to buy out a certain item to manipulate the price. The grand exchange use was then in void. It used to be you go to world 2 fally park and their was a certain place in every part of the park for just about every item. You also could go onto the forums and sell/buy items. It wasn't that bad I actually preferred it that way. The main trading spots were w 6/9 seers bank or fally park world 2 for members. and worlds 1,3,4 , and 5 varrock west bank for free players. W 2, 6, 9 and were the best for mage logs, whips, furys, barrows armour, and other such member items. W 1, 3, 4, and 5 were the best for raw lobster, yew logs, rune armour and so forth. Free trading was a great way to meet friends and to add people that would always have the items you were looking for. Now you go to ge and pray the item is there if not you're crap out of luck.
