Introduction
The Grand Exchange is one of the biggest and newest features in Runescape. It allows you to buy and sell items across any world in Runescape. There is no need to meet up with the players as the Grand Exchange buys and sells your items for you, all you have to do is pick up your end of the deal at the nearest bank. While you wait for the trade to be completed, you don’t even need to be there – you can do anything from getting up skills to doing quests. You can collect your items at any time, theres no rush.
Getting Started
In order to use in the Grand Exchange, you will first need to receive a tutorial from either The Grand Exchange Tutor or Brugsen Bursen who are both located just south of the Exchange, north of Varrock.
The Grand Exchange Tutor: He gives a short, sharp tutorial which gives you the basics that you will need to know about the Grand Exchange
Brugsen Bursen: He is the founder of the Exchange and gives you a much longer but quite interesting tutorial. He can also give you a brief history of the Grand Exchange which is good for the real RuneScape enthusiasts but pretty pointless.
