Linkbuilder's / Lumbridge City Merchanting Mastermind Course [Review]

If you’ve been merchanting for some time now, you may have heard about Linkbuilder’s Merchanting Mastermind workshop course. Well a couple of days ago, I finally decided to give it a go and see what it’s all about. This is what I think of the course, so read on to see if it’s for you or not.

Seems like a happy customer - found that on their Forum

Upon signing up, I must say that I was a little impressed by the sincerity of this person (linkbuilder). He makes no claims that you’ll be a billionaire overnight. He doesn’t show you fake bank pics on his sales page or bogus/fake testimonials like I’ve seen countless times.

Linkbuilder even lists his address and a phone number in case you want to contact him for questions or pertaining to customer support!! I can say that few authors or at all in runescape are proud or honest enough of what they offer to list their phone number on a runescape website!

Honesty aside though, what Linkbuilder promised is that by following his methods, as well as techniques of reading the market -the same ones that are used by real-life stock exchange traders- (from his own words), that I would build up my wealth faster than I would think is possible.

I then signed up and entered my email…Afterwards I was asked to create my account. Note: It does not let you create an account with capital letters in the name.

After successfully signing up, I’ve found that there is a lot of material covered, and it takes a bit of time and attention to learn.

In short, here most of what's included;

The course is organized in nine modules and each one of them has a specific theme.
First, he teaches you how to build confidence when investing, how to correctly anticipate price changes in charts. He explains price chart patterns that exist in both the real world as well as in the grand exchange with a few of them being; 1-2-3 bottoms, what is and how to properly do swing trading, advanced flipping as well as flipping in uncertain markets, hockey stick patterns and others.

Within each of those modules there is either one or two videos to properly explain each concept, then he shows you live examples. After the videos of each module, there is a questionnaire to make sure you’ve understood all of the ideas behind it.

After all the “technical” modules covering patterns and strategies are dealt with (trust me it takes time to go through them) – there are two other modules about how to pick up the best items to merchant and risk control.

After going through the videos and completing the questionnaires, I can say that I was feeling confident about investing - and even curious about going on the real stock market via my android phone. There are many patterns to learn that are being thought in the course and that also apply to real life (not just runescape).

After you've absorbed his teachings from the modules (it takes time), he then gives you even more practice with another tool; His Composite Charts. This is a tool made to help you test your knowledge and confidence in a “real world” GE Merchanting setting where you try to predict price fluctuations without actually investing gp. On top of these, there is also another section with guides written by other merchanting experts (which I can't comment because I have yet to take a look at).

And finally the live webinars! Yes it is given by linkbuilder himself. For those who don’t know, a live webinar is when you attend an online course with a group of people where students and the teacher (linkbuilder) can talk with eachother while he teaches material on a screen.

As of writing this, I still have to wait to attend the webinar though it seems pretty exciting. (When 20 or so people have bought the product, you will have to wait 2 weeks or so for the next webinar, as otherwise classes will be too large).

Another thing I have to add is that there is also an awesome community behind linkbuilder where they discuss Runescape Merchanting amongst others (Pking, real life stock trading, real life, etc). I’ve found it very mature, people are engaged and speak their minds there – not like your typical large community forums where you see one sentence posts etc…

Final Word

So has Linkbuilder worked hard on this Merchanting Course – Hell yes he did
Should you buy access to the course? A: It depends ! If you are;

a) If you cannot stack up at least 200 or 300k in your bank, you will not be able to fully exploit the techniques discussed and rake in the profits.
On the other hand, if you are either

b)      A person that is able to at least stack up a little money (300k)  the traditional way                       
      (by skilling)
c)      If you are a person who is ALREADY good at merchanting and wants to become a top-notch merchanter
d)      If you are a person that has not merchanted before but want to learn to do it – and do it well
e)      If, no matter your situation, really want to reach the instance where you don’t need to work(skill) for money anymore – and only have to log in a couple of minutes a day and merchant with full confidence…

…. Then this is for you. If you fall into the a) group (I know a lot of people do) , you will need to think again about your motivations. But if you can identify with b) c) (I was definitely a C person) or d) , then I can only say this course will make you richer in the game after following the techniques (and finally be able do the things you really enjoy most in runescape).

In the end, it comes down to this; Stop SLAVING in runescape (working long hours for gp). Sign up for the course and simply ask the guy a refund if you don’t like it. Cheers everyone! leave your comments below-
