GE Tracker
Stop missing price spikes. Get alerts when your items are ready to flip.
The Problem
You logged out 2 hours ago. Your flip item just spiked 15%. By the time you log back in, it crashed. Profit gone.
Grand Exchange flipping requires CONSTANT MONITORING. Prices spike randomly. Rare item goes from 50M to 65M in 30 minutes. You're at work. You're sleeping. You miss it. By the time you check GE, it's back to 52M. You've been sitting on 10 Dragon Mattocks waiting for a spike. It happens while you're offline. You lose 150M in potential profit because you weren't staring at the GE 24/7. Merchants and flippers need price alerts. RS3 doesn't have them. Third-party websites exist but you have to check them manually. Not good enough.
"I flip high-value items and I HATE that I can't get price alerts. I check manually 5x a day and still miss spikes."
— Reddit r/runescape - Merching Discussion
"Why doesn't RS3 have price spike notifications? It's 2024. My stock app alerts me when AAPL moves 2%. I need this for GE."
