About Black nails
Black nails are a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"Keeps things in place fairly permanently"
Over the last 30 days they traded between 1,073 and 3,225 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 1,898 gp. About 857 units changed hands per day. The price is up 43.1% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 37 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 7 gp, which is 99.6% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
