- The Insane Prices RuneScape Items Went For From 2002 - 2006 (OSRS)
Way way way back in 2013 Old School RuneScape was released, however at the time there was no Grand Exchange. So trying to find whatever item you wanted to buy was kind of a mess. Sure you could subject yourself to the hundreds of spam messages you’d see in Varrock or Falador but a little fan site called Zybez decided to instead create a market price database.

![Watch Out For These Grand Exchange Scams! [OSRS]](/img/n.gif)
So I messed up a bit on the RSC section. The prices for a few items were listed in certificate format. Certificates could be exchanged for 5 of that item. Luckily this only effects a few items.
RSC Lobster = 300 gp each
RSC Raw Shark = 1000 gp each
RSC Yew logs = 600 gp each
I'd go back and fix it but I'm about to hop on a flight. Sorry again about the mistake!
Colonello you should pin this comment so everyone sees it immediately.
Colonello back in 07 I remember looting the wild for sharks cuz they were 1k each when I had my first 100k I thought I was rich
Lol
Part of the reason runes dropped in price was when your inventory moved over from rsc to rs2, it doubled the amount of runes you had. So if say you had 1k mind runes in rsc, when your inventory moved over it doubled to 2k mind runes.
I think I remember the obby cape being cheaper until mobile release with a large amount players have began investing into it. Think a couple months ago they were 130k to 200k.
The very first whip sold for 60 million at Edge, at that time a blue partyhat was worth only 20 mil. After whips phats skyrocketed, blue quickly rising to 400m over a year due to the concentration of wealth from whips.
I remember 1k per law rune was around for the longest time because people would just toss you 1k for a quick tele and everybody started using 1k as the basic price per law rune
good times
Yeah man and not many people were crafting laws either
Remember running to have other people make you law runes? 300k per hour
@@Funancialism yeee i used to pay solid cash for ppl to bring unnoted ess to me
@@bigbrisk8423 OOO u were one of the big bosses!!!!
Who remembers Sals realm??
Me! That was my favorite fan site of all time haha, I may have to make a video just about that in the future.
@@ColonelloRS Yess please make a video about old fansites! Would be so dope
Please make a video about Sal's Realm, that was honestly my favourite, before Wiki was a thing that and RuneHQ were my only mentors
That site got me through so many quests lmao
Hell yeah
selling noted iron scimitars instead of rune scimitars was the best scam
I bought a bronze sword thinking it was addy for 4K cus the screen was so dark
My life was over
@@PatRiot- addy was better scam
Noted rock hammers and g mauls was my go-to
Mithril and rune was the easiest😂
Labrik Halili na back when the grand exchange wasn’t out the best scam was selling the Unid herbs. I had a scam to sell 1000s of unid guams as ranarrs. Easily made 60-100m a day
“Buying full rune 200k cash”
I went "Pking" once in my full rune with a rune battleaxe and an inventory of lobsters in like 2006 once, ended up skulling and dying and losing it all. I'll never forget how hard my heart was beating, I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. Maybe THE single most intense feeling that's every happened to me in my entire life lol and I've done a lot of shit so that's saying something. I quit for a good 2+weeks after that I was so fucking mad lol.

@@007kingifrit nothing more humbling that the wilderness. Lol
I still remember buying my first whip for 3.5m in fally park.
Senpai dude phats were easily a few hundred mil in early 2000’s idk where he got his info
J Diamond uhhh... no they were not.. been here since September 11th 2001.. you could buy purple phats in 2006 for 50-80m all day long..
They didn’t sky rocket until a few stakers deleted thousands of them from the game permanently via dropping them and letting them disappear
@@huntermckee3093 Atleast green phats were staked for 700m back in 2006, I remember because reasons. Blues were easily above a billion
@@feers9020 I was staking in 2008 and blues were 400-450 ea. whites 220-250, green 160-180, yellow 150ish, purple 140.
@@Funancialism any idea why the prices dropped then?
My fingers still hurt from spamming bank sale before the Grand Exchange... Great video as always :)
Oh god the nostalgia.
L2 auto typer u noob
@T. Latu me too lmfao
I remember paying 60m for a Dark bow on day of release. Went to castle wars straight away to flex lol. Good times.
Wtf, that's me at 4:50 fangirling over Maikel Pro like 12 years ago. That's insane
What do you know about real life witchcraft in multiple entertainment industries?
I was against the GE coming back into osrs... I liked the Interaction and not to mention u could get good deals from people trying to sell stock fast or bank sales
Was great time for merchers like me. I use to befriend bot farmers and they unload all their resources to me for cheap and I’d made a shit ton. But it was like a full time job managing the cc and competing with other merchers.
GE was only added to stop overpricing which is why everything is cheaper and real world item selling
I used to sell big bones and typed it so often that i was able to type it quick enough to br mistakes for an auto typer. Typing, this is the most valuable real life skill i gained from runescape.
Legit, all of that advertising in Varrock made a real difference lol
Same here. All that typing while marching made me able to type very fast. A skill I still use today lmao.
Runescape legitimately taught me how to type/spell so well that by the time they started teaching it in middle school I was already typing about as fast as the teachers.
To be mistaken*
I remember back when osrs first came out, it took me like 3 hours just to buy the nails and planks I needed for Dragon Slayer.
the og runescape
now its 5 seconds for almost everything
Unpopular opinion, I wish they would've made barrows much more rare so the dragon items and other armors wouldn't be such dead content.
it'd still be dead content lol at least today anyway
I agree, dragon was unimaginable god tier gear back in the day. I kind of dislike the fact that they added a dragon full helm, because the med was simply the best dragon item. It was so unique and expressive with nods to the original gear design wise, and you had to hear about it from other players... If you clicked any skill the dragon items you could find wouldn't even show up. I really do wish it were the best gear in the game, but partially because I don't like the degradation factor of barrows.
@@leoisforevercool ur stuck in the past man, it's only nostalgia you're feeling. if dragon was bis these days the game would be so boring. we wouldn't have any of the bosses we have now becuase the armour would be to weak. unless dragon got a huge stat buff which i would be fine with cuz the armour does look cool(i love the dragon full helm and platebody, no other set makes you look more badass and powerfull) and i'd love to see a better use for it other than swagscape.
Barrows wasn't that bad, non degradable strength gear is what made dragon armour completely obsolete.
just play iron man and suck at runscape (like me) and you'll never see a barrows item in your life xD
Brings back memories.. i was such a noob back in the days, wanted to have a rune weapon so much and I literally gave someone my entire bank for a rune battleaxe. goold old days
My first Whip was 4m in 05 bought in Varrock West Bank. My first DChain was 13m and bought at Seers’ Village. Good times.
Poseidon my first whip was 28m I staked twice with it won 20m and lent it to my friend who logged and I never saw him again
StralianBtw lmao
damn that messed up Stralian
I just found out about your channel and Im puzzled as to why you do not have more subscribers. They are really informative for us Scape heads and the quality of them shows your dedication... Keep up bro!
i had a 1m cash stack back then and i thought i was rich LOL
allison you were lol
I'd be rocking that D med helm as if it was the best item in the game, lol.
@@Jorge_KBut d meds were 2m back then. I remember because I took my 1/4 split of one from KBD and bought a 500k santa.
same, I had no fucking clue how to make money back around 2007 when I was like 15, I remember saving up and spinning flax to sell bow strings for like a month just to afford full split bark (which I thought was amazing because it looked cool) then going to explore the fremenik slayer caves, (I had no idea what slayer was back then) I immediately got poisoned, died and lost most of my prized split bark. Pretty sure that's when I quit playing up until OSRS came out lol.
Haha same also remembering having 1m. Still couldn't buy an abyssal lol
My favorite Runescape period was from 2002 - 2004. My friends used to play but they all quit when RS2 came out. :(
The Rune 2h was like 65k
I dont remember coal being 700gp though. And I used the mine coal all the time. Mining was my highest skill back in the day. The mining guild used to actually be hard to get to place. Mining took FOREVER in classic.
as it should
The prices I remember when I started was full rune for 200k, lobster 300gp, swordfish 400gp, Dragon full helm was 40m, Granite maul was 100k, whip was a couple million, Dragon scimitar 100k, iron ore 100gp, and other stuff I forgot.
Craig Szymanski same, only thing that remained the same is the dragon full helm
@xgtky lm full rune was 200k between the years of 2004-2006, and in late 2006 is where it began to crash to 170-180k. No one ever used the rune full helm or shield, this was due to berserker helm and defenders being out so they would just buy top and legs at fally w2 slightly north-west of the bank, near the road to the centre. By the 2008-2010 Era, The Grand Exchange was already out and a surplus of rune made it crash to around 150k ish for a set. I started around 2004 and i remember vividly getting my first pair of rune armor with big bones, but the guy sold it to me for 215k cuz i offered him 50k of the cash in runes so he sorta taxed me. Big bones were 200 gp each back then and over time rose as high as 400 gp ea in 2005. Miss those days.
I'm so excited about this upload. I loved this video so much, you blew it out of the park with this one, Conello.
Thank you so much I'm glad to hear that! :D
I remember looking through the item database on RuneHQ and seeing Zamorakian Rune for the first time and thinking it was sooo balling and setting it as my goal (never did achieve btw.) But it's crazy how much TT items were back in the day, and it's amazing to see then shooting back up with the recent influx of players.
You should do a follow up vid on "rare" items if you can find much information. I remember the common spinach roll scam. But I've also heard that some other commonish items were considered rare. The black axe comes to mind as the only way to get it was by killing black demons and a friend gave me one saying it was like 40k, which was a lot to me back in the day.
I remember when cash stacks had gold numbers instead of white and teal numbers.
I remember seers village being one of the great places to sell. Now it’s basically dead with only a small amount of players doing the agility course.
I remember standing at Varrock east bank saying "Selling Rune Essence 30gp ea" over and over to make my cash LOL
"Buying all rune essence 20gp each"
Buying all essence 21ea gp
Back in the good ole' days Rune Ess was my f2p jam. When a noob could make "good money" from mining it. Lmao
GOod video, this brings back nostalgia brother. THanks.
FYI: The rune set went up in price during the transition from classic to rs2 because kite shields suddenly became relevant when the r2h damage potential was surpassed by the scimitar because of changes in weapon attack rates. Prior to rs2, full rune was only the large helmet, platebody, and legs. Afterwards the kite shield was included in the set.
I remember when some people thought Spinach Rolls were extremely rare and worth 10m+. In falador garden on world 2 I nearly traded a Santa hat for one, so funny.
I did that with strange fruit because people didn’t know how to pick them properly
I bought a spinach roll for 100k =(
I had a trick for this... I would stand somewhere selling a spinach roll while my friend would stand a little further buying it. I would sell for 300k and he would buy for 1m.
Someone scammed me for a wrapped oomlie like that. They gave my santa back and a red h'ween and much more later on we became great friends.
I remember wanting the saradomin rune set so bad back in the day lol
when slayer first came out i remember seeing whips go for 80m for the first few weeks
I remember the fire cape coming out and trying to buy it for 5m in Falador Park...
Lol buy an untradeable
Those first lobster/shark/ore/log prices are cert prices, not prices for individual items.
What do you mean ‘Cert’
@@maxterisdead back in the day in Draynor where the market stalls are, there were traders in which you could exchange your lobster/shark/ore/log into certificates. 1 Cert = 5 of that item. Basically it was the noted form of these items
Suban Ketheswaranathan thank you!
Wow I remember that.
yes but he didn't account for inflation either. Gold back then was much more scarce than it is in 2019 osrs. So much so that there was a minimum of 5 gold of osrs per 1 gold of Runescape 2005. So those 300 gp lobsters in todays market would really be 1500 gp each at the very least.
gp was muuuch stronger back in 2005 then it is in 2019 on osrs. I swear, it is like a 5 to 1 gp difference, AT LEAST. So when lobsters were 300 back then (you read a cert that was 5), they were really what 1500 gp is today lol because you had to gather everything yourself and it was a lot harder. Never forget to mention how inflation has affected runescape throughout the years. That 20m whip in 2005, in reality, would of been over a 100m whip today at the very least, so you can see exactly how much work and value put into those items. I still remember my old gear from 2005, berserker helm + rune plate + d legs + rune boots and whip and xil shield or rune defender. Don't forget the glory and legends cape!! good times..
I remember the first rounds of whips going for 80m
How the fuck did people even have 80m in 2005 lol
Calvin K handful of bug abusers had billions back then
i remember using another browser for the map ahhah. and sitting in a shop waiting for someone to sell an item i wanted
Jesus I remember that d chain in the early 2000’s how expensive and rare it was.. when you saw someone with it you just couldn’t believe it lol.
Antonio Hernandez around 20m+ and honestly phats were easily a few hundred mil that’s the only part I don’t agree with on this vid.
Love the shot outside varrock bank, maybe that was me selling those big bones for 450, i remember some law runes going up to 1.2k aswell! Fun times trading wave1:
A lobster certificate is 5 lobsters
3:44 torille
I remember these days, I had a 60k cash stack, on a fresh made account, still learning the game, after selling off tons of cow hides, I wondered into Varrock from the south, after being attacked by wizards and almost dying, to see crowds of people spamming the chat, there I was trading with people with stacks of items and cash I never thought real, I thought bank notes were scams because I didn't know how to turn my new full adamant in bank notes, back to normal!, I eventually got full rune that same week because I was loving this new game so much, I was playing like a maniac all day and night, man that shit brings me back to some good times... I learned so much in this game about life and people.
I lost 30k to scam when i first started, man good times... Learned how people worked real quick, learned about lures even quicker after getting scammed for that 30k, good life lesson.
Bro those were the days. I miss going to the bank and trying to sell stuff. Or trying to buy low and sell high but in person and then you had nice people who would have you follow them to a person selling what you wanted/need. Those times were great and the community was nicer and conversations were easier to have
I remember back in the day pking Santa hats in varrock multi and would sell/buy them in varrock for full rune sets
Remember when u could loan items to players in like 2010
That was my very first try of a godsword. I remember it had a big red dot on your equipment screen so you knew it wasn't yours
That's still a thing in RS3 haha, and it was my first try of a godsword as well 😂
Aww when thea limited trading and let you lend your bandos to players for 80k a houer
This was my favorite time during runescape
Love your videos
My first whip was when it was at the 3.8m mark. Dragon legs were about 600-700k depending on seller, and also at the same time obsidian sets were out and going for 900-950k. Shield was 550kish with cape being around 350-400k. The only reason I remember is I bought all of them on the same day because someone died to a random event and dropped 17m cash stack.
Normally people drop their coins from random events so I would always steal them in varrock/falador park. It was worth it
This was the pinnacle of runescape
Lobs were definitely not 1.5k each in 2003, they were still 250gp
That was lobster certs, its for 10 lobsters, so that was 150gp per lobster.
i hate to be focusing on details but one of the reasons the whip value dropped so fast is that on release you used to be able to train strenght with it. hence the reason it was worth 20m+ back then.
but soon after (dont know exact date) they nerfed it into the whip we know now thus making it crash to between 4-5m.
Thats the moment i bought one back in the day :). thanks for making me relive that moment, loved the vid.
Wow didn't know that, they also got rid of its original spec, which was ridiculously overpowered. That probably contributed to the price drop too.
There weren't that many people with 85 slayer for the first few months after the first persons started selling whips for whatever price they wanted, it stayed at 40m+ for a while and steadily dropped to 4m as more people had access to the drops and sold them. Don't think the price dropped at all after the initial change, whip was still the best weapon you could get.
I remember getting my first D Chain in Summer of 2008 for around 10m-ish. I didn't have the skillset to easily rake in that much cash at the time and hated what the GE did to merching (I was a pretty frequent mercher of Death Runes on my previous acc) so I just grinded Flesh Crawlers for their herb drops every day. It felt like such a big accomplishment at the time and I proudly wore it over the Fighter Torso because old D Chain/pl8 is peak Fashionscape. It did have decent stats for a non degradable piece though.
And yeah I def remember when things like the D Med were around 800k and legs were a couple mil. Memorizing street prices by heart would save your ass back then!
I remember real 07 scape the main outfit seen was Rune Boots, D legs, Granite Platebody, Zerker/D Med helm Obby shield and obby cape furies were really expensive and Bandos Chest and Tassets were about 95m a piece
Buying all glories 50k ea, selling 65k ea
Scammer
Used to love the old Fali markets.. remember paying 13mill for my first d chain
please make a video about old fansites! Would be so dope
i question lots of this. i remember whips selling for 70m when they came out. and d chain was 80 to 120m at first
brings me back to the good old days of trying to sell 1k lobsters for like half an hour.
I remember when slayer came out and the first guy to get a whip drop listed it for sale on the runescape forums for 60m, and granite mauls were selling for an easy 13m.
Whip and g maul specs hit max or 0 and they got nerfed soon after 🙂
Oh man... Fally park brings memories. I used to buy Ahrim's pieces and then selling full sets for profit.
I always liked ur outro lol
Back in 2005-2007 the dragon chainbody was something I always wanted but was waaaaay too expensive. When I saw how cheap it was on OSRS last year I grabbed one immediately. Kid me would have been so happy
Good video. Sad it has less than 1k views.
Jesus this video brought back some memories from the OG RS2 classics to spamming to buy/sell. Miss that shit and was gutted when OSRS sold out.
These old clips remind so nuch memories
Back in the day we used the runescape forums to get items in bulk or rares was kind of cool
Holy cow.. Food was so expensive back in the days!
I really loved using Zybez. In the beginning of OSRS I sold H.A.M. robe sets for 50k each while grinding easy clues. I understand the G.E. came, but if it was me I would still use Zybez!
back in the day I sold a verac's helm for 22m, which at the time was worth more than any other barrows piece, all of which were worth much more then than they are today
I don’t know where you got those prices, but back in 2003-2005 from what I remember, d med helms were 800k, party hats were 200k, rune armor set was 200-400k, abyssal whip was around 10-20m, and santa hats ranged around 20-50m. Yo-yo was priceless, because it was untradable, but everyone wanted them so much they’d either hack the account or buy them.
i really want to play a fresh version of RS2, just to see how much everything has changed...we'll never get that, but it'd be cool if jagex still had a save for it and could have a mod go back and answer any questions about it.
Cat McCat you mean like OSRS?
You could also post about selling and buying and item on the official forums.
when I remember that dragon chain was 30m back in 2005, I had to say I wanted dragon pl8 legs instead which we're 3m, so back 13 years ago I wanted my path to take, the road to dragon pl8 legs. but the green h'ween mask was 400k back in 2004 right?
I def used the official forms, usually to sell my bowstring and buy flax. All I wanted back then was an abyssal whip and the nicest poh
there is spot missing from falador trading map, between rune equipment and dragon legs selling place there was treasure trails cosmetics from black cavaliers to berets ect.
I don't remember the year, bu tI sold multiple d chains from solo/duo Veracs method KQ back in the day for ~32m, and vividly remembering trading a d chain for a purp phat
Mannn those times were great...seeing all those messages about selling this and that
Would love to see a comparison video on RS3 and OSRS economy on these legacy items, seeing as mentioned Abyssal Whip now costs around 70k in RS3, which is honestly like 5k in OSRS.
I remember buying my first yellow party hat for like 66m north of fally park.
ah, I remember the old days, when I first got my own full rune when I was younger, with a d scim, damn, I was so happy.
throwing a pair of white boots on. brilliant
Who remembers berserker shirld or spike shield
Anyone wearing a green dhide coif was the true ranged master of f2p
i really miss the old days of trading it was awesome going to faly/var to specific spots to buy/sell the item you were after.
Yeah man I twerked on noobs back in the days
I merched so much back in the day, I made 88B in 2004 alone
I remember buying a d chain for 32m. The same price as a Halloween mask set and slightly less than a purple P hat.
Maikel Pro was a BEAST!!!
I used to tb for him lol, xtrem30/no waiiii is a irl friend of mine.
@@ixyzyxi i watched his vids all the time back in the day
Love his vids man didn't even protect item lol
I wish I knew when the ge came out, bc I remember it as a kid being there one day when It never used to be there. But, there's no videos...
Awesome I remember getting Halloween masks for 300k ea and stuff like that. It was a fun time.
I'm playing osrs for the first time since 2007 and I can't believe prices have dropped so much. I was banking on yew logs lol. Guess I'll buy some gp to start myself off.
wtf i was selling lobster for 250gp ea in 2005
World 2 Falador trading was the best in 2005. the GE update made me sad.
I remember these '04 and '06 prices very well, I know a lot of prices from 2004 to 2007 tbf and it still somewhat bothers me just how much some things have devalued.
I remember When pure rune essence cost so much that that’s how I made most of the gold when I was younger and from a drop party I got a dragon mace note this is before the great exchange so I had no idea how much it was really worth and these guys kept trying to convince me it was only worth 6K but I knew better thank God
Rune hq was my go to guide
Switching noted rune scim with iron scim in trade window was the best moneymaker by far.
Also remember when the fighting arena was for members only
Supply and demand, as much as people hate bots they are essential for runescape to exist in its current form. People use so many resources to get 99s or for PVM and without bots the prices for the items would have to be way higher and the actual supply of these items would be extremely limited. Another thing to consider is inflation a GP is worth way less now so even though the prices on these objects seem lower their value is actually way lower due to inflation.
The best time I had on rs was farming kq. My best friend and I duod her for weeks. Over that period we got 3 or 4 chains and sold them for 50m ish. We had all the money we could ever want. And to this day nothing compares to a d chain drop. I miss rs. And I'll never find that guy who farmed with me. Shoutout to that guy.
Reminds me of when disks of returning were 400k and I bought 50 of them and sold them a year later for like 2m each and then came back like a decade later and they were like 200m each......
A friend got my first whip for me from Fally psrk world 2. It was going for like 3m but got it with like 2.8m worth of items
I remember when I finally saved up 50k in f2p before the GE, and bought a rune 2h. I was so happy because I bought that did a good price. Sadly I got hacked a few days later, and lost my 2h and some emeralds I earned from a quest. God damn I was such a noob back the.
u could sell rune armor more likly for 170-230k depending of floot also the grey area around fala was basicly consider valueable items infront fala bank where glory/herb and chain/fury etc mostly hidden cuz rarly people could afford so those that wanted those shud actualy know where to find those people so u dont get that easly randomly traded (show trades) prevent also fury where quite a demand issu lateron since the block of able obtain tokkul easy and very few/none dropped onyx
My first whip was like 15m I forget exactly I used to to stake I had all the masks and 3 phats. Back in the day when someone died to a monster they dropped their stuff I got a blue Halloween mask once when a blue dragon killed a guy, the mask was only 600k at the time but still was cool
i still play runescape classic still to this day. classic pking is addictive
