Cow hide merchanting

Money
This is an essential part of merchanting. The minimum amount of money you need to start would be around 1,000 to 2,000 coins. However, more would be better. If you don't have any money to start, kill cows and pickup their hides and store them until you have around 100. Then sell them for 100+ coins each.

Buying hides
Go to any world that won't severely lag your computer. Start buying all the cow hides you can for 50-80 coins each until you're out of money. If there's nobody selling hides, keep world skipping until you've spent all your money. To world skip, in the bottom left corner of the RuneScape login page there's a button with World "X" on it. Click that and choose another world.

Making a profit
Once all your money has been spent, and you have a large number of hides, world skip to World 1 or any other F2P/P2P trading Themed world and sell for the highest price. The key is to sit there for awhile watching who's buying hides for the highest price. When you've picked them out, trade them the hides for the money. If you've followed this guide, you should have turned a nice profit.
