Gold makes the world go round! Especially in Old School RuneScape, gold is prevalent in progressing your account and getting the best gear you can.
While getting gold can be as simple as collecting a mass amount of a specific item and selling it, it can sometimes be a chore.

There are hundreds of different shops in Old School RuneScape, some specializing in certain items that will give you higher prices if you sell them to them. But in the end, there is normally one place where all players dump their items for sale.
You can sell items in OSRS at the Grand Exchange, at a General Store, or at many specialty shops around Gielinor. Some shops even buy items at increased rates, allowing players like Ironman accounts to make more profit than they normally would selling it to a regular shop.

Where Can You Sell Items in OSRS?
Almost every item can be sold in Old School RuneScape, whether to a store or another player.
First-time players may be tempted to go directly to a General Store to sell any items they get.
While this can be a quick and easy way to get rid of some things in mass quantities, you are much better off selling to the much more reliable Grand Exchange.
The Grand Exchange, located in Varrock’s North West portion, is a players’ trading hub. Here, you can sell/ buy tradable items to/ from players across every server in Old School RuneScape.
More importantly, you can set the price and quantities of what you want to buy down to the singular gp, making your trade completely customizable.
Before the Grand Exchange, players would need to go to World 2 in either Varrock West Bank or Falador Square to trade specific items in mass amounts.
Now, you can put any item up for sale on one world, and if another player has a buy offer for that item (regardless of what World they are on), you can sell it instantly.
Be warned: the Grand Exchange also has plenty of bots and scammers that will spam messages and try to persuade you to trade them. Avoid them at all costs, and always double-check before making a trade with anyone to ensure you get a fair deal.
Where Can Ironman Accounts Sell To?
Ironman accounts are a different story in terms of trading. The key point about Ironman accounts is that they are not allowed to trade with other players, so using the Grand Exchange or standard trade window is impossible.
However, they can still sell their items to shops in exchange for gp.
There are dozens of different types of shops you can buy/sell from, ones specializing in Mining supplies, Herblore, Hunter, Weapons, etc. If all else fails, the General Store will still accept any item in exchange for a small amount of gp.
But if you want to maximize the amount of gp you get from selling your items, you should know that if you sell an item to a shop of the same category, you will be given more gp for that item.
For example, if you sold Yew Longbows to an Archery Shop (such as the one in Varrock Square), you will get more gp than if you sold it to a General Store.
Even further, some shops in Old School RuneScape buy items for the price of that item’s High Alchemy value or higher. The best shops that buy at higher rates include:
- Wilderness Bandit Camp Shop
- Rogues’ Den Shop
- Karamja General Store
- Shilo Village General Store
- Moon Clan General Store
In short, if you sell items to a shop, it is best to sell them to one that buys items at a higher rate, as you will earn a lot more gp.
When it comes down to trading and selling items in Old School RuneScape, it is best to follow these rules:
- Use the Grand Exchange for custom trade offers.
- Avoid scammers and bots (make sure you are getting a good deal in the trade window BEFORE ACCEPTING).
- For Ironman accounts, sell items to shops that buy at High-Alch value or higher.
- If the mentioned shops aren’t available, go to specialty shops to sell items at increased rates.
That is where you can sell items in Old School RuneScape!
