General store

The general store is a type of shop placed in many locations in RuneScape. Unlike specialty shops, general stores usually accept all tradeable items, making them a useful place to sell miscellaneous goods that do not have a dedicated store. General stores are identified on the map by a pot icon. Many general stores have both a shop keeper and a shop assistant, both of which can be used to access the shop stock.

Staples

A typical general store.

Each general store carries a few commonly used, inexpensive items. It rarely runs out of these items for long, as they tend to restock quickly. The following is the most conventional inventory for a general store:

• Pot
• Jug
• Empty jug pack
• Shears
• Bucket
• Bowl
• Cake tin
• Tinderbox
• Chisel
• Hammer

Most general stores available in the free-to-play map area also carry the following:

• Newcomer map
• Security book

Other common items for the general store include:

• Rope
• Knife
• Vial of water
• Pestle and mortar
• Candle
• Unlit torch
• Cooked meat
• Bronze pickaxe
• Bronze axe
• Iron axe
• Spade

Anything goes

The stock of a typical general store.

In addition to regular stock, players may sell any tradeable item to a store, so the general store in each town will often have a stock of the local specialty, though any item can be sold to any location. A player can buy any item in the general store that they want if they have enough money. Bargains may sometimes be found from players unaware of typically higher street prices, or in too much of a hurry to find a buyer.

Sell prices

When selling to a general store, the price when it has no stock of that item is the low alchemy value, i.e. 40% of the item's in-game value (the item's stock price when buying from a specialty shop). The minimum price the player receives for selling any item is 10% of the item's value, so 25% of the item's initial (low alchemy/general store) price.

Every overstocked item causes the selling price to decrease by 3% of the item's value. This causes the minimum price (10% of the item's value) to be reached after the store is overstocked with 10 of that item.

For example, tiara has a value of 100 coins and a Low Alch price of 40 coins so the first tiara is sold for that. The lowest price that tiaras go for is 10% of item's value which is 10 coins. Each sold tiara decreases the price by 3% of 100 coins = 3 coins.

${\text{Sell price}}={\frac {(40-3\times {\text{Min}}({\text{Stock, 10}}))}{100}}\times {\text{Value}}$

Note: The general stores in the Wilderness Bandit Camp (Bandit Duty Free General Store), and in Rogues' Den (Martin Thwait's Lost and Found) will buy items at a high alchemy price, which is 60% of its value, or 150% of the price offered in normal general stores. The general stores in West Ardougne (West Ardougne General Store), Pollnivneach (Pollnivneach general store), and the Legends' Guild (Legends Guild General Store) will buy items at 55% of their value, or 137.5% of the price offered in normal general stores.

Buy prices

When buying items from a general store, the price starts at 127% of the item's value with 1 item in stock and decreases by 3% with each extra item stocked until it reaches 30% of the item's value at 34 items in stock.

${\text{Buy price}}={\text{Max}}\left({\frac {{\text{Value}}\times (130-3\times {\text{Stock}})}{100}},{\frac {30\times {\text{Value}}}{100}}\right)$

Trivia

• Despite having the general store icon, Bandit Bargains in the desert bandit camp only buys and sells items in its default stock, rather than accepting any tradeable item like other general stores.
