chobitz, the database only has 18 profitable items for Grundo Cafe stored so far. As more and more people visit the shops (and subsequently spider them), the list will get better and better.

It will switch shops once 45 minutes has elapsed (its a limitation of users who are not Advanced rank or higher). If you had 500+ posts, you could not only pick your shop, but you can tell it how long you want to be in the shop for.

I just checked jellyneo, it looks like Grundo's Cafe is just a rubbish shop. There's only like 20 items which are over 20k in there in total anyway...

I wonder if it would be practical to blacklist certain shops, just for their utter crappiness. That is adding human influence to the ABing process though, and it wouldn't help our Items Database.

Well you could add some kind of weighting but we should probably list all the shops anyway.

I could weight the selection process based on the estimated number of profitable items in the shop?

Sounds like a plan. You could even base it on the user's settings too, so you could weight the shops by the numbers of items which are at least X profit.

Please don't think I am trashing the program

I love neocodex and its programs. I know this program is in its infancy right now. I was just wondering if my sucky ass laptop or user error was causing it.

[jcrdude]

But you never know when a new item will be released in a shop unless someone's looking in it ><

Unless you're checking the New Features every day, that is...

Nah it won't be your laptop, you just found yourself in a rubbish shop for now. You're providing a valuable service though.

Lucky!
Whats a good "profits must be greater then" number to start with? Also can I choose for the items to go into my inventory not my sdb or store?

Depends on the shop. Bakery and Stamp I use 3k, but for shops like Pharmacy and such I specify 5k. The database is highly accurate these days, so the more accurate it is, the smaller you can afford to set the profit margin (and it will subsequently buy more items).

If you're suicidal, Magic Shop with 10k seems to work too. But Magic Shop seems to freeze people in every ABer known to man.

I realize that you don't have a much of a choice, so I would set the profit margin to around 5k, which should be good for many shops.

Watch out, because you can get hard-to-sell items sometimes, and also, the more buys you make the quicker you get RS banned. It's a trade-off.

You'd fill it too quickly if you send them to your inventory. The whole idea is that you buy a load of buyable items and it stocks your shop for you then collects the profits. That way the entire process is completely automated and you don't have to do anything so it's essentially a NP generator.

For shops like chocolate, food etc with lots of smaller profit but easy to sell items I'd go with around 4-5k profit to get plenty of items.

Just choose "no action" and it will send to inventory.

[jcrdude]

Or SDB so you don't end up with a full inventory and unable to buy more items... I accidentally ended up there once ><

just thought i'd point out:

2009-08-19 22:30:09 - Bought Squeezable Tigersquash: 2375 NP

shop wizard lists prices as low as 1500!

Is this because the database isn't fully developed or something?

[ShadowLink64]

The database says:

Squeezable Tigersquash
14,262 NP

Last updated... two days ago. Now the prices are indeed as low as 2k. Some retard must have priced it really high or something.

Price Averages: 1500|1285|90000|1099|2000|1555|2395

So yes, some moron priced it in their shop as 90000 and the DB stuck with that in the averaging. Manually correcting...

[Beeboobop]

ha, I'm glad i posted that. Also, why is it that the submit anonymoususage statistics check box greyed out? I would assume you'd want all theinformation possible, even from standard members.

[chobitz]

So it finally bought something yay! But I came across a weird bug. I can't manually stop the program. If I hit the stop button it locks up the program!

[juju]

Well I think I've made 100k so far, so not bad. I wasn't looking for huge profits from this program because I don't want to attract attention to my account, just something little to keep me moving up because I've been stuck at 20m+ NPs for a while with it just sitting there xD.

[Skyle]

Okay the program keeps freezing again on the cookie thing at the start. Will not open at all now, keep trying but keeps not working.

[ShadowLink64]

Skyle, what operating system are you running? I might just take the cookie importing module out in the meantime until we write something kickass.

(Bought 2 UB stamps also last night -- sold one of them )

[Skyle]

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate. It worked the second time trying to run, but never working anymore.
