About Dark fishing bait
The Dark fishing bait is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"What on earth would eat this?"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 2 and 5 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 4 gp. About 588,006 units changed hands per day. The price is down 50.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 8,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 75.0% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
