About Red dye
The Red dye is a free-to-play item in Old School RuneScape.
"A little bottle of red dye"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 216 and 551 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 344 gp. About 3,027 units changed hands per day. The price is down 28.3% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 150 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 6 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 3 gp, which is 99.1% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
