How to Sell OSRS Gold: A Step-by-Step Guide

6 min read · By the OSRSGoldNow team · Updated

Selling Old School RuneScape gold for real money is simple once you know the steps. The whole process happens through a face-to-face trade in-game, and you never hand over your login details. This guide walks through each step as it works on OSRSGoldNow, so you know what to expect before you start.

Before you start

Have these ready and the sale will take a few minutes:

  • The amount you want to sell, in millions (M). For example, 500M is 500,000,000 coins.
  • Your in-game name (RSN), spelled exactly as it shows in-game.
  • Your payout details: your PayPal email, crypto wallet address, Cash App tag and so on.
  • The coins in your inventory, or in your bank close to the meeting point.

The current rate is $0.260 per million for OSRS gold, so 500M would pay $130.00. Rates move with the market; our OSRS gold price guide explains why.

Step 1: Get your quote

Go to the Sell Gold page, pick OSRS or RS3, enter the amount and choose how you want to be paid. You'll see your quote before you submit. When you send the form, a live chat opens with your order already filled in, so you don't have to type it all again. You can also just open the live chat and tell us what you want to sell.

Step 2: Get your trade details

In the chat, we send you three things:

  1. A world number: a free-to-play (F2P) world, so you don't need membership.
  2. A location: a well-known spot where our trader will be standing.
  3. The name of our trader: the only account you should trade.

Hop to that world (log out tab, then World Switcher), walk to the location and send a message in the chat to say you're there.

Step 3: Trade, and wait for our confirmation

Our trader sends you a trade request. Put in the agreed amount of coins and check the name in the trade window matches the name from the chat letter for letter. Then wait: before you accept, we confirm in the live chat that this is our trader and the amount is right. Only accept once you see that message.

Never skip the confirmation

Scammers sometimes stand at busy trading spots with names that look almost identical to a site's trader, for example swapping a lowercase "l" for a capital "I". The confirmation in your own chat is how you know the trade is really with us. See common OSRS trade scams.

Step 4: Get paid

Once the trade is done, we send your payout to the details you gave, and post a message in the chat when it's sent. Payouts usually go out within minutes of the trade. How fast the money lands then depends on the method: PayPal and Cash App are near-instant, crypto depends on network confirmations, and bank transfers can take longer. Our guides to PayPal payouts and crypto payouts cover the details.

Common questions

Is there a minimum?

Yes. Our FAQlists the current minimums for OSRS and RS3. If you have less, it's worth building up a bigger stack first.

Do I need membership?

No. We always trade on F2P worlds, so any account that can trade can sell.

My trade won't open. Why?

Brand-new OSRS accounts have trade restrictions until they meet some play-time, quest point and total level requirements. If you can't trade, the game tells you why. Ironman accounts can't trade at all.

Is selling gold allowed?

Selling gold for real money breaks Jagex's rules, so there is always some risk to the account. Nobody can make it risk-free. Read how to sell OSRS gold safely before your first sale.
