The Iron platebody is the second weakest platebody next to bronze. Like the bronze platebody, it has no requirement to be worn. This makes it the best platebody for both brand-new players and melee pures with level 1 Defence. However, for players training Ranged or Magic, an iron platebody is not a good choice due to its crippling negative bonus in those skills.
The selling price of iron platebody is lower than Grand Exchange, but since iron items are over-produced, the best way to get rid of them is by selling them to the shops. If stock number is less than 10, it is worth selling as price is higher than low alching using Explorer's ring.
