Auction Sniper Elite: King of the Hill
It is not that complicated to write a python auction sniper. It can load up, parse, and send another request extremely fast. I win 75-80% of the time with mine but it takes so much time to find a great auction.
How do you tell what items to watch out for?

The title makes it sound like an upcoming AAA title.

List loading or DB-linked. Have to multi-thread it so it can attack multiple auctions at once but since it'd only need to read auctions about to close, it's not too bad.

I'm hoping to connect to the Neocodex item database to calculate profitability. Also, at least in the GM version, it will put a link next to each item that allows one to bid on that item.
Could make for an awfully interesting situation...having 5 people running it at the same time all going for the same items...kinda sounds like the attic redux

For the Python version, perhaps the program could have a text field that allows one to input specific auction IDs to bid on. A bit clumsy, though, so if you can think of a better way let me know.
Way too user unfriendly IMO. It's a very simple effort just to have it parse the next 100 auctions and if it matches a list entry, have it start posting bids up to a max amount.

I would really think before releasing a powerful auction sniper. If everyone has unrestricted access to such a program, profits from using it may drop considerably.
That being said, does anyone here know enough about auctions to tell me an algorithm that would work well for snagging items? I've tried the simple "bid a lot near the end" method, but it was pretty terrible at getting items, even at a low profit.
Does starting with the max possible minimum bid increment help at all?

I knew that, but I was asking for was how do you determine what is a profit and what isn't.

If it's db-linked, the program compares the current bid to the item price in the database.

Yes but that doesn't consider the amount of time invested along with a potential dump of NPs for nothing. Plus what happens if you get a HTS?

I'd assume that you can just set minimum profit. The same applies to main shop ABing, you get HTS and you sell them.
