"Don't prick yourself with this"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 1,315 and 1,634 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 1,515 gp. About 286,232 units changed hands per day. The price is down 12.3% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 11,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 30 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 99.9% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
