Oak shortbow (u)
An unstrung oak shortbow; I need a bowstring for this.
Oak shortbow (u) is a members-only item on the OSRS Grand Exchange. Recent trades put the high price at 10 GP (3m ago) and the low price at 5 GP (2m ago). Buying at the low price and selling at the high price would leave 5 GP per item after the 2% tax (100.00% of the buy price). You can buy up to 10,000 every four hours. High Alchemy would lose 141 GP per cast if you bought it at the low price and paid for the nature rune. 18,040 were traded in the last 24 hours.
