The 2% sale tax is rounded down, and at 22 gp it rounds to nothing — sales under 50 gp are untaxed, so a flip here keeps its whole margin.

High alching Herring

High alchemy turns one Herring into 6 gp. That is less than the 142 gp nature rune the cast costs, so alching Herring always loses money.
