I recently got a very expensive item using Abrosia.. I was just wondering if that would give my account heat? If so, what should I do?

Thanks!

[Sweeney]

Heat?
Are you a 1960's drug-runner?

(Also, probably yes.)

[Boggart]

Depends on the item and stuff. More detail is needed. But safe to assume yes

[Dylan]

I ABed it on my side account, then transferred it to my main. Anything else to do, other than to lay-low for a while?

Thanks for the replies. I've been lurking these boards for quite some time, I don't usually post however. Not trying to come off as an annoying noob

[Fireworks]

Actually transferring items to main makes it more suspicious. You can just leave it on the side for awhile.

[Xexist]

What do you consider very expensive? something at 800K give you a lot less heat vs something 15M (yes thats common sense)

[Dylan]

The item is around 15M.

It really depends on your buytime..as long as it wasn't too low, I think you might be fine!
I ABed a 20mil stamp once, waited like 3 days, transferred it to my main and then sold it.Worked for me, both my accounts are still safe!
If you're wondering, my buytime was around 1.6-2.2, I don't really remember..

Good news My buytime was around the same as that. It was actually the first item I've gotten that day

There's still hope! haha
Did you stop ABing right away after that?
and also, how did you transfer it to your main and how long after you ABed it?

Yeah. I immediately stopped ABing after I got the item.

I transferred it through the trading post, maybe an hour or two later.

[soul__stealer]

Most restocked won't just stop if they get a good item. Better off continuing to AB imo

[Applepi]

I think you're ok. For future reference, definitely hold onto items for a bit after buying them before transferring. In general it makes it look less suspicious.

I also transfer things slowly, meaning a few items here and there and never any large amounts of items/np at a time.

I disagree on this one, I think that if I manually ABed RSed a 15mil item I'd stop RSing and I'd run around the house jumping in excitement haha

(Manually ABed cX ?)
Ne, I kind of feel like if I manually RSed a high-profit item I'd continue RSing in hopes for others actually o: ~

Although I'll admit that's never happened to me (too impatient to RS cx) before so it's hard to say for sure

haha... last time i restocked manually.. i managed to grabbed a gold card worth 5mil and hastily got scammed for some painted petpet worth 200k.... bad first time restocking UB and dealing via Trading Post.... soon after that each time i got a UB i would screenshot, save picture bla bla... then only restock.. haha.. sounds lame now though..

For a item that expensive, wait a few weeks to be safe

Perfect username for posting in this topic.
Not terribly helpful, but still amazing.

Partially true. Most of the time someone will check the TP / wiz or take a few minute break before going back at it. Acting like nothing happened, especially after a big item could be a potential flag if TNT looks deeper at your history. I still think it's buy time that's your biggest flag to worry about though.

[DeathKnightX]

Since you're gonna get frozen anyway, just tell us the item you got.

Was it a Draik MP?

Still not frozen. And no, it wasn't. It was a small shop
