What Is GE Hound?

You check GE Tracker. Then the Wiki. Then the GE booth. Then GE Tracker again. Five minutes gone, nothing changed, and you are still not sure whether to insta-buy.

GE Hound cuts that loop. You set a buy or sell price, we watch the item, and you get a Discord ping when the line gets hit. Free to start. No chart babysitting.

You still make the call and place the offer. We just tap your shoulder at the right moment.

The Problem GE Hound Solves

The hidden tax in flipping is not just the GE tax. It is attention. Big merch groups can have one person watching while everyone else plays. Solo players usually cannot.

So most people do the same manual loop: check dragon bones, check blood runes, check your barrows piece, repeat. If you are late, the spread is gone. If you force it, you buy too high and talk yourself into holding the bag.

RuneLite and existing trackers help, but they still assume you are there staring at prices. GE Hound is for the opposite workflow: set the number once, go do Slayer or bossing, and come back when the market crosses your target.

That does not make flipping risk-free. It makes your timing less random.

How GE Hound Works

GE Hound reads live prices from the OSRS Wiki real-time API. Same data stream you already trust when you check the Wiki or RuneLite overlays.

You pick a tradeable item, set a target, and choose buy alert or sell alert. We check on a fixed interval - about every sixty seconds on free. Once price crosses your line, we fire a notification.

Discord webhook is the main delivery path right now. Pro adds email if you want a second inbox-style ping.

Example: if blood runes are hanging around 205 GP and your plan only starts at 195, set 195 and ignore the noise in between. You do not need twenty tiny decisions while price chops around. You need one clean alert when your number is live.

Use one alert if you only care about entry. Use two on the same item if you want both entry and exit covered. Either way, you stop hunting the same margin every few minutes.

We are still opening access in waves, so you may start on a waitlist. After you are in, setup is quick: search item, set number, choose destination, save.

Who Is GE Hound For?

New flippers: You have 2m to 20m GP and keep second-guessing entries. Set a clean buy line, go train, and wait for the ping instead of chasing every green candle.

Passive merchers: You hold positions for days around update chatter. Set sell alerts at levels you are happy to take and stop opening the same chart at breakfast every day.

AFK players: You bounce between skilling, clues, and errands. Alerts let you react when it matters without parking your whole session at the GE.

Experienced merchants: You track many items and buy limits at once. A stacked watchlist keeps your lines in one place, so you are not juggling three tabs and old Discord notes.

GE Hound vs. Other OSRS Tools

GE Tracker and GE Margin are great at answering "what looks good right now?" They surface margins, volume, and ideas. GE Hound answers a different question: "when is my item at my price?"

One tool helps you discover a flip. The other helps you catch the entry or exit without camping the screen. They stack together. Find the play in your tracker, then let GE Hound call your shot.

Try It

GE Hound is free to start, and Pro is there when your alert list gets bigger than free limits. Hit the homepage, grab your spot if waitlist is active, and set your first line. Next time dragon bones dip while you are mid-task, you will know before everyone still refreshing tabs.

That is the whole pitch. Less tab-switching, fewer impulse buys, and more time doing content you actually opened OSRS to play.
