I apologize if this has been asked before, I did a few searches that didn't entirely answer my question and most topics were quite old anyways

So I was thinking about how many factors come in to play when TNT is looking at people restocking in the main shops, page delay, haggling, the numbers you haggle with, etc ,etc, there's a whole bunch of measures and if you aren't careful with your settings you could end up getting banned.

No the Almost Abandoned Attic on the other hand is actually very basic, and still holds quite expensive items from time to time. I've been trying to restock in the AAA legitimately for months, and the speed at which the expensive items disappear at are inhuman (more than likely being AB'd) and when you think about it, there isn't half as much precaution and things to be careful about in there. Any person could use Sunny Neo's attic timer, get a nice refresh and get a super expensive item in much less than 1 second, and there's no real reason that I can see for TNT to be able to say "hey, that dude must be using an Auto Buyer". No haggle, just click and hit enter, and bam you have a nice item.

So the TL;DR version of this question is, if I'm using a really quick speed (0.3-0.6) and getting 5 decent items per day (minimum profit is around 40k) how likely am I to be frozen? I'm afraid that I might be missing something, but it seems so simple. Have you ever been banned from only AB'ing the attic?

Thanks in advance for your time guys.

Your chances are really slim to none considering the fact that your minimum profit is 40k. I recently started using a similar timer with a min profit of 70k and I've been doing fine for the past month.

I ABed only in the attic for the longest time (almost four months) with times 0.3~ seconds and less and never been frozen for it. However, when I tried to suicide in stamps with a throw-away shell, I got frozen in 3 weeks, but made a hefty profit. Attic isn't all that worth while if it's not your main place to get an income. Sometimes attic is a pain when I get like Usukis, extremely rare and relatively unknown plushies, and buttloads of clothing. It's not that uncommon to get a draik MP or a r94 or higher stamp there, but I feel like I spend more time re-auctioning some of the HTS items than anything else. I have my profit margin at 80K.

Also note that if you only AB in the attic, people will be super suspicious when a shell account or not-too-well "decorated" main account is trying to sell so many HTS unbuyables. You can get frozen from jealous report-happy players, possibly.

I didn't consider that, I guess it would look pretty suspicious if an account that doesn't look to 1337 randomly got like 4 full TP lots of all HTS UB's.

My favourite profiles are the ones with barely any avatars, a huge shop, tons of UBs on the TP, barely any games played, and the Tax Beast trophy. At that point, you're not even trying.
