Why would a Bag of Peanuts be spooky?

Spooky Foods are a no-go. It's always filled with junk items so there's no room for good items to restock there.

What I meant was that the shop is so packed with items that nothing new will restock, whether high-profit or junk it doesn't matter. Someone has to clear out the shop of all the current items first.

Yeah...not well thought out on my part about the Bag of Peanuts Posted Image

On the other hand, the spooky food shop sits around ~22 items all the time. When it restocks it goes to 24, on a good day maybe 25. Those 2 to 3 items are almost always profitable, and a lot of the time they are 99k items. (Sell price in user shop).

Also, by "a lot", I mean relatively frequent for an item that sells that much.

What's the maximum number of items a shop can hold?

Maybe, because I've never seen it, just assuming. And I assumed wrong. Posted Image

Make sure not to have refresh times too low for whatever shop you're in. I was between 6 and 11 seconds and got restock banned for 16 hours so far... I figure it'll be 24.

I used to do about 4 hours and 50 min. Borderline five hours. Here recently I've been doing upwards towards 8 and I've been getting RS banned like crazy, I just wanted to test it out though. I'll probably go back to my old schedule.

Noted, these are all broken up into different times throughout the day. 2h25m twice daily, and 2h 4x a day.

Meh I was breaking up into 40-70min intervals over the course of 8 hours, around a total of 3.5-4 hours a day. PS I hate the "Cannot determine if item was purchased" from abrosia. I don't know how often the np number on the program manager updates either

I've actually never seen that before. And the neopoint counter updates pretty regularly. I don't know the exact interval, but it's pretty close to being on the dot most of the time.

Read the restocking habits portion at the bottom. That's normally what I do.

Hah, one good thing about non-advanced is that you probably won't get RS banned.

o3o Not necessarily.. restock bans are completely random and Advanced users could set their refresh rates high

Does anyone AB ONLY at the attic? At least those restock times are predictable so fast refresh and buy times can be expected, yeah?

I don't ab only at the attic, but I'm sure there are others that do.
And yes, those high profit items usually sell out very very very quickly.

Er.. well I don't, but I believe there are at least a few people who do o: ~
The main downside is that the AAA just has the possibility to restock every 7 minutes and it could take some time for that to happen

Ive been having alot of luck at the magical bookshop. The stock gets down to about 10 (Not sure if another restocker is buying the junk to speed up the process) but its been restocking often.

Aiming high only makes it tough. Aiming low and just copping some lower profit items is better then nothing. Unless you dont give a damn haha :t

Back when I used to AB, I liked AB'ing at Spooky Foods and Pharm. Magical Chia pops can be nice too.
