I like where I've been ABing, and I'm comfortable with it. Is it going to raise questions if I ONLY AB there, or am I in the clear?

I think it would be unlikely to cause any problems providing you're following sensible advice regarding times, refresh rates etc. Some of the legit restockers on neopets that I know only restock in one shop so I don't think you would stand out for that reason.

Beautiful Thanks for the speedy reply.

I saw on your guide that you did 2 week rounds per shop, but I didn't see if anyone chose one and stuck it out for the long haul. You've made me very rich in a very short time, and I am very grateful to you. XD

Not really the point of the thread, but mmk

It's probably better to only be in one shop since it's like you "master" that shop; not all shops are the same obviously and in time if you were legit, certain items will be automatic to buy once you play enough.

I don't see if there is necessarily a PROBLEM with it, but personally, I think it's safer to AB several shops. Especially if you are ABing UBs. I feel like when you're only ABing at one shop and your trade lot has 10 items from the same shop, legit restockers that restock in the same shop as you will either get jealous or suspicious and report you whereas I would think they are less likely to do so if you have UBs from several different shops, which could make them think you are just a very good RSer.

Hmm...

5 unbuyables from one shop = pro at that one shop
10 unbuyables from many shops = pro at many shops

Which is less suspicious to you?

[Darkthrone]

I prefer to only AB in one shop. Especially if it's a shop that takes a while to restock. Say if you switch shops every 50 minutes or something you could miss the RS and if the next shop you enter is the same you could go a while without even seeing an RS. Plus I tend to only go for UB's so I prefer in staying in something like stamp/magic because I know the value of the items there and can sell them easier. I've never had any problems caused by only AB'ing one shop other than if that shop is crowded with AB'ers you may end up getting 0 items that session.

From personal experience I've been better off at multiple shops

LOL SO TRUE

Jumping from place to place would arouse far more suspicion than sticking to one shop. One shop is easier to figure out what items are profitable (especially smaller shops such as the ice crystal shop) and what are not. Nobody buying from multiple shops legitimately never purchases things at a loss, as it is usually a scrample for buying once things have stocked.

If you're using lists it would look a little less suspicious, provided you edited out certain unpopular/HTS items.

That said. TNT will freeze you for sneezing at the wrong time. So I can't recommend stressing over it. Most people seem to get frozen, whether they cheat or not.

I use a fully functioning ABer that isn't found on this site and have been for years...I forgot the only way to have experience is being an advanced member who's been around for a long time.

It really depends on what shops you choose to restock in, if you put up say 10 MPs and claim to restock them recently it will draw more attention than 10 furniture UBs. Also I don't think its the legit restockers that get jealous and report its the nosy forum lurkers that are more likely to notice. I go to different shops but I really only restock from one and it enough to keep my shop stock.
