Well the poll is in and this blog isn't about a review of the poll.
After giving away pkercomplete and having that drop party I was looking at varrok and saw people advertising for merchant clans. I decided to join one and experiment with a few million.
But let me explain how merchant clans work first. A group of people control a item that the public want/need so lets say we wanted to buy out a food item (as all the pkers would always want food and thats how the food prices skyrocketed when pvp worlds came out), we buy the food for maximum price and that will change the price overall as the grand exchange is based on how players use the grand exchange. Now I don't want to get greedy and say lets wait until the price doubles, I will be happy with a 5-20gp price change(this will protect us from players that are dumping their items early. So if we bought a lobster 215gp max and then the medium price becomes 220gp. We sell for medium. We will be making 5-20gp per a lobster which is a good chunk of profit for not doing anything.
(1milliongp=5000lobsters(200gpeach) x 5 gp= 25k for doing nothing) Of coarse thats just a example of 1 item and we would start out small profit margin to build trust we could easily make it 50gp price difference and you could just imagine how much money we could make.
So that's the general idea of what a merchanting clan does. Why would you join mine if I started one when there's other clans already out there? That's the question you might ask. Simple, do you trust me? I'm going to answer that for you and just say you do. I did some research and apparently other Youtubers have done this in the past with their subscribers. But they used them. They bought the items in advance and told the subscribers to buy in the ge for max so yes the price went up but whose selling those items? The youtuber who bought in advance and now telling his subscribers to buy for max so he makes money.
How would I do things differently. Well I can use blogtv as the thing that can prove that I didn't buy items in advance as you can see my bank, my grand exchange etc. So if the item were merching does fall through. We all lose and not just me gain money. Theres over 109 people that claim to make over 20m a month. So you can just imagine how much of the market of a item we could control. That's not even including the people if I made a video on YoTube talking about this.
So in a point form here's why I think this could work
-I'm trustworthy, if you don't think I am you wouldn't be at this site in the first place as you would think there might be some sorta trojan or other junk.... I would not have has any drop party's at all if I was tring to pull something on you.
-I can use Blog TV as a form of evidence to show you my bank and items in the ge to prove that I didn't just buy stuff in advance to pawn them off to you. So you can be assured im not scamming you.
-Theres already 100+ people in here that claim their bank is worth more then 20mill, so you can imagine how much money we can all put in and control a item. Thats not even including the 228 other people that voted in my poll, It really doesn't matter how much money you have if you put in money you will make money.
-The items we would be merching would be items in high demand. Certain logs, food, runes, armour etc. No one way items ie: my famous air tallys. So if the merch does somehow falls through we will get bailed out by other general players. But I'm really leaning towards food items as if you read some of the RS updates they are planning on releasing more pvp updates, I'm guessing summer when everyone gets off and has nothing to do, Jagex is not stupid they know everyone loves their player vs player games, thats why everyone spazzed out when the wild went out.
-If you have ever been in my CC or looked at my friends list. I don't rank people, I don't add people, theres no secret base of friends I have that I will help out and tell them "hey you should buy "X" item cause im gonna get by subscribers to bail u out.
But the bottom line of this clan that will make it work is trust. Is trust there? Leave me a comment right now its just talk, this might not even go through. I'll even make a new poll asking you if your interested. YES or NO.

Yes, I am willing to start a clan with you. I understand that you have been a successful merchanter and I have faith that you will lead the rest of your clan to success. I completely support your idea of merching food items, as there is a real meaning in them unlike things like talismans which are merched just for the sake of merching.
The clan will experience a lot of success due to the fact that there is an experienced leader compared to the clans which are advertised in the G.E. I have floated around in those and have found out that they are packed with a bunch of low cash players who cannot afford the daily limit of any item. They also use items which have already been manipulated, such as strength amulets and gems.
I highly recommend that you start a clan which manipulates items. You also have loyal subscribers which will definitely participate because if they're willing to buy 650m of junk, they will definitely be able to invest double that much into the market and expect profits.
I would join... I trust you enough. But you can't say you've never used your subscribers after having us buy your tallies :P Well if you start one I'm in :)
there was a incentive, i no longer have pkercomplete and the 50m drop party, as for experience in merchanting, im a noob at clan merchanting as I have never done it before until I saw someone advertising it. The only thing I got is enough money to probably make a item go up in price so I can guarantee you 100% money making.
Yes man, but the profits will be the incentive. Clan merchanting is fairly easy if you know what items to use. I can help you with picking the items if necessary.
do you understand anything about economics? you're just moving the market along to the crash. making every item unstable. well i unsubscribe. sorryy but i dont think you deserve it if you just manip to make money now. go out and earn it or just dont play, you and ever other manipulater other there are screwing up the market and making this game herdder for real honest players.
