Merchanting it no easy thing to achieve, and it's as tough as the slayer skill to master, but knowing what to merchant on the Grand Exchange - as well as knowing a few tips and tricks can save you a lot of stress, and make you a lot of gp.
When identifying what type of item to merchant, it essentially needs to be an item which you can invest at least a few million gold in - but preferably closer to 20million and up. This may be a few abyssal whips, or it may be a few hundred of thousand ranarr seeds. As long as you can buy them with 2-3 four hour slots then they're good enough to merchant. This being as long as you can invest a decent amount of money into them in the allotted time. If you look at rune platebody's for example they're around 70k but you can only buy 10 per 4 hours, so in 12 hours you could only buy 30 for a total of 2.1million gp's worth of gold. But making 5-10% profit on that which I'd say is realistic if you judged things correctly, would mean you only gain 105k-210k at the very most. It's very possible that you don't make any money at all and that you lose some because the market has shifted within the time frame.
Finding Good Merchanting Items On Runescape isn't easy, but if you read around this blog you'll gain more and more information, tips and hints that mean instead of losing a little money on average you'll start to gain it. But my advice more importantly isn't just to read up and down all about the topic, it's about trying it out for yourself. Start on a small scale, and get a feel for the market, sometimes it's best to target just one item because you get better and better at predicting what'll happen and so when's the best time to buy and the best time to sell as well.
