Default Cow Hide Merchant Guide

Cow Hide Guide, Bye Digfe
Well, today and yesterday after testing a way to make money easily.. I came across the need for cowhides for people. I started out with nothing and came up with 85k by the end of the day. (Just one day, usually the longer you try this guide the more gold you get a day)

What do I need to start?
Nothing, but a weapon and axcess to killing cows.

How does it all roll out?
I started killing cows, then selling their hides for 100 each. In an hour I was able to get 300 or so hides. Make sure you can find someone who is trying to level up their craft skill, and add them to friends for later trades. (worked with me). After I hit 10k, I kind of got tired of going to the place and killing cows for their hides to get money.. So I hired workers!

Workers, their levels, and their pay
You can find low levels or people who are in need of gold, and tell them to go kill cows and collect their hides, then deposite them in bank. Say when they have *insert desired amount*, that to tell them to withdraw as notes and trade, pay, then sell for 100gp each to the customer(s), that you were suppose to get while collecting the hides you want. Never offer a worker more than 55gp a hide, as it might affect your prices dearly. I hired 4 level 3's, when I found them they said they wanted money, so I said about the cow hides and jobs. I now pay them 10 gold a hide, and I sell the hides to my loyal customer. The workers depending on their level should rake in about 70-400 hides an hour. Add them as friends and check their progress.

Problems
I lost an entire legion of workers yesterday, when I realized that I didn't have enough gold to pay them. Never hire too much workers, and always tell the workers WHEN to come and sell their hides to you. When things started rolling back up I had 6 workers. 1, who could get 500 cow hides an hour, that I payed 20gp each to them for hides. I spent usually 30k, just alone by my hard 500 hide an hour worker, I made 50k, that's not even counting the other 5, who usually altogether got me 700 hide.

FAQ
Well what do we do after we have 100k?
Get more workers, buy more hide, sell more hide, make more gold.

Is this a guide guranteed to millions on runescape.
HELL NO. It's only a beggininning stage that will help you merchant items. Another words buy for cheap, sell for high, on items such as Runes, Feathers, and Melee Armor/weapons.

Where can I find workers?
Try the place where you kill cows... Usually you see a bunch of low levels starting out there in need of levelling and gold... Which is perfect for your needs.

Any non-flammatory info/comments would be nice!

I think the guide is decent. And it will help people start to accumulate their RS fortune.

A fortune would be made if someone hired 10 miners to mine iron for him. Buying price would be 50 ea. Selling price would be 100 ea (world 1, fallador east bank). Each miner can probably get 200-300 ores an hour. That's 2000-3000 ores an hour. Buying price is 100-150k an hour. Profit 100-150k an hour.

If you play 4 hours, you can cash in half a million profit easily. In one month, you'll have 15 million!

Ignorance is bliss... If you don't do your homework then you might be stuck like the workers.

Not everyone is good at merchandizing. But if some workers become good at it and decide to sell the hides for themselves, then the employer has to refill the ranks.
