If you're having troubles with UBs, you can always just throw them in your shop for 99999, it's not a big profit, but at least you get rid of it.

And if you don't like having to deal with posting and waiting for offers on UBs via the Trading Post, consider just grabbing buyable items.

If you mean you SS while ABing on the same account, at the same time, I give you a week tops before you're frozen. Maybe less since you ABed in magic. You are basically asking to be frozen if this is the case.

been doing it for a month now. hehe.. i use different accounts when ABing and SSing...

1. No. This is because restock bans only depend on your refresh rate (I think). But it lets us choose exactly the shops we want to AB in (without closing and opening ambrosia until that specific shop we want each time, every 45 mins)
2. Restock times are now completely random although they used to be fixed initially.

i have a question again.. what's the typical refresh rate.. coz with 3-5 sec i tend to miss out a lot, and it seems lately that i get restock banned a lot. i have my refresh rate at 2100ms (i ab in magic and i know the risks) the thing is, even with that refresh rate, i still somehow cant catch MP's lately. so far i think i missed out about 4m+ worth (two lutaris, two faerie painted mp) meaning someone's got a much more higher refresh rate than what im using.. im just wondering if they also gets restock banned...

Ooh that's awesome---thanks for sharing!

I still have to navigate the ins and outs of Abrosia but your results look very promising! Did you use all default settings?

abrosia is pretty easy to manage... the only problem i have with it is nonadvanced members can edit the refresh times. one thing i notice, my shop size is 16 now i find it hard to sell most of my items

I used default settings, except for the profit amount, which I used like 2.5k or 3k. So in a few days I had these results ^-^
I also check shop wiz for prices (and I get a lot faerie quests), so my items sell better.
These results were out of a non-listing... I just let the Abrosia buy random items in random shops (that way you'll see how it misses items but somehow still gets you profit).

Right now I'm trying lists, I hope things sell

My items have been sitting in my shop for almost a week. The ones that are a pain to sell are the 50-80k items

I sell over 60+ items a day, price it manually and make sure you rf ~10 times for each SW result(unless you have premium) so many times I'd get an item that pop up in the first 5-6 results saying 50-70k and its 20k or 15-20k then they turn out to be 4k . I find as long as the item is close to the bottom it clears within the week, if it isn't gone by the weekend I spend extra time tracking down its actual price.

I always have ~120 items with 200 max and my shop brings in 300k a day, not as much as other sources thou =(

Yeah I've had the same 2 books for a week... I'm gonna throw one in my shop for 99,999. It's only a 50k loss.

Its never a loss... The way I see it you just don't make as much profit but you still come up. And profit is profit right? The battle has always been between those who like small profits fast fast fast. And those who like to sit on items like those for 3 weeks maybe even longer just to squeeze that extra 50K out of every item. Personally I like to hold the middle ground. I go for decent profit that sell fast. All unbuyables i dump in my shop for 99K... any item that is going on the trading post for 500K or less i just throw in my shop for 99K. Sometimes what i do is put them up for trade just in case, but as soon as i have 10 trades up or i reach that 10th item i remove them all from the trading post and put them all in my shop... i advertise really fast on the trades/auction boards that I'm dumping unbuyables in my shop and within 30 minutes all 10 of those items are gone and I'm up a cool million.
