Is there any way that Abrosia could implement a feature that would allow you to place items above a certain EST Profit threshold in a different location than other items? Like say I AB an item worth well over 100K. Wouldn't it be semi-suspicious if I just threw it into my shop with all my other AB'd items only to pull it out later and put it on the TP? What I'm suggesting is a feature where you can check a box to put items worth over a certain price, probably 100K, into your SDB, while all other items go into the shop.

pretty sure the new release is going to include this feature... if it hasnt already been implemented. Or maybe im thinking of the Neon AP..... idk. Cant be bothered checking.

This had got to be the most paranoid idea I've ever read.

What can I say, I'm a paranoid kinda guy!

I suggested a similiar feature to Iargue & Splice in IRC.

My suggestion was an option to dump any restocked items over X value into your gallery / SDB (no reason to put them in your shop as this value would be too high) as soon as they are purchased. That way the risk of losing them to any number of random events would be significantly reduced (unless you were unlucky enough to have been smashed on the next page load).

The reason they didnt want to add this was that you may 'miss' another 'good' item restocking... But if you're planning to set this value to items +1m you aren't going to be too stressed if you miss another smaller item... and the chances of you getting a major item (>10m) is extremely rare.

My reason for the suggestion is most days I seem to end up with 1-2 piles of sludge in my inventory, but no REs logged by the AB.

This is actually a legit reason for implementing such a function, not because it makes something "less suspicious" because that concept doesn't exist. If anyone working on this feature is reading this: If you're worried about missing a smaller item, make the function to stick the items in your sdb work in between refreshes without interrupting the timer. Unless you are using 1-2 second refresh times there is no reason to wait 5 seconds to navigate to quick stock, another 5 to store the items and another 5 to go back to shop. I guarantee you any human with a quick finger and an open tab can pull that off in less than 5. While you're at it, make withdrawing from shop till work in between refreshes too.

Exactly. I'd prefer the option to be there. I'm not saying it needs to happen every time you score a 100K+ item, it's just available for whatever threshold you want.

Yeah right you've heard worse I know you have.

How about a feature where the ABer goes to item management right before you reach the end of your schedule? Or even before a break in the schedule.
I always have one or two items that I ABed after the item management, but the scheduler reaches a break before the items are sorted again, and they're just left in my inventory.

I think if it's just in your inventory it's safe as no refreshes are taking place right?

Yeah.
But for the sake of laziness XD. I wouldn't have to go to my inventory and manually put items into my shop again, and run the auto pricer on those items.

[Musician]

I think this would be a cool feature to implement!

The program manager is still running and pricing items in the background
