OSRS gold availability
Who actually has gold ready to deliver?
Snapshot: Jul 5, 2026Most OSRS gold shops don't publish their stock. Of the roughly 30 shops we track, exactly one — rsgoldmine — shows a live stock counter; on July 5, 2026 it displayed 2,058M OSRS and 1,276M RS3. Everywhere else, availability is something you read from other signals, not a number on the page.
Price trackers tell you what gold costs. Nobody covers the question you actually ask at checkout: can this shop fill my order right now? This is a plain-English read on availability — what stock signals exist, what they mean for delivery speed, and how to judge a shop that shows you nothing at all. Snapshot dated July 5, 2026; a shop's own posted stock is a claim, not an audited fact.
The availability board
What each shop shows about stock
A dated snapshot of the shops we track. "Publishes stock" means the shop displays a live gold quantity you can see before buying — almost none do. Where there's no number, delivery speed and buyback are your next-best read on whether gold is on hand.

The connection nobody spells out
Why stock is really a delivery-speed question
You don't feel a shop's stock as a number — you feel it as how long you wait. These two blocks are the whole reason availability is worth checking before you pay.
⚡Stock depth shows up as your wait time
When a shop has gold on hand, the trade happens in minutes. When stock runs thin, delivery slows because the shop has to source gold before it can hand it over. That delay is the only "stock level" most buyers ever actually observe.
Probemas is a clean worked example: 98% of orders arrive in under five minutes, and it says the rare low-stock order takes 15 to 30 minutes instead. Same shop, two speeds — the slower one is simply what a temporary stock dip feels like from the buyer's seat.
↺A shop that buys back is cycling inventory
Shops that buy gold back from players — Probemas and EZRSGold among the ones we track — are constantly refilling their own supply. A live two-way market is one of the better signs that gold is genuinely on hand, because the shop is turning stock over rather than sitting on a fixed pile.
EZRSGold posts a buyback rate of $0.19 per million; Probemas runs its own sell-to-us flow. When you can't see a stock number, "does it buy back?" is a surprisingly good proxy for "can it deliver now?"
When there's no number to look at
Three signals that stand in for a stock counter
Since almost no shop shows stock, these are the readable proxies — each one is something you can check yourself in a minute.
A tight delivery window
A single, narrow ETA ("under 5 minutes") signals gold ready to go. A vague or wide range ("a few minutes to an hour") usually means the shop sources per order — fine for small buys, riskier for bulk.
An active buyback rate
If a shop publishes a rate it pays you for gold, it runs a live two-way market and refills constantly. A visible buyback number — like EZRSGold's $0.19/M — beats a silent "unlimited stock" claim.
Fresh, deep reviews
Recent reviews mentioning fast delivery are live evidence of fulfillment. Probemas carries 16,121 reviews at 4.94 stars on Reviews.io since 2013 — depth and recency say orders are being filled, not just promised.
⚠About that "2 billion in stock" number
rsgoldmine is the one shop we track that shows a live stock counter, and that transparency is worth something — it displayed 2,058M OSRS and 1,276M RS3 on July 5. It also claims a minimum buffer of 3B OSRS and 5B RS3 behind the scenes.
But here's the honest part: a posted stock figure is self-reported, not independently audited. Every shop can type a big number into its own homepage. Read a visible counter as "this is what they say they hold" — a point in the transparent shop's favour — never as confirmed gold on hand. The signals above are what actually tell you whether an order will fill.
