Merchanting is not overpricing. One of the most overpriced items on the Official Forums are gems. This Scam can still be seen today with the Grand exchange but in a fairly different way. Players will go to a merchanting clan and be told to buy an item that the clan owner already bought mass amounts of, so the price will go up. The leader will then sell his items, and once the leader finishes selling, they will tell the rest of the clan to dump. Since the price is so high, no one will be buying them, causing the price to plummet and the rest of the clan to lose money.
