Well, I know there was a thread for this before, but the last post was about 4 months ago, so I figured i'd make one.

What have been your worst misses when AB'ing? Just today I got:


2012-08-04 16:58:55 - Missed Woodland Peophin Morphing Potion: Sold out.

    The person who got it must have been very lucky then. ^^

    Ouch, Dorkie, that's gotta hurt seeing your log after that..

    I missed a couple. I rarely get 1 mil items or more.

    I'm not sure I ever have got a 1mil + item, though I have quite a few 100k-300k unbuyables.

    Does being advanced help a lot with using Abrosia?

    Yes. You don't need to use default. Though default is good for magic because more people who AB stay away. XD I got a 4 mil item with default and someone got an eventide draik on default too.

    I've noticed I get the most profit from the AAA, so as long as it visits there then it's all good. :3

    Are you sure it's safe to AB all night? Might seem a bit suspicious, especially if you don't normally play during those times.

    Wow, that's worse than my miss, you could have gotten at least 8 mil for that o.O

    I have it on a schedule and when it buys something 50k or more which usually happens. XD It will rest for an hour.

    Ah, I didn't know you could do that. Sounds like a good idea! :)

    It is. Usually set it for 12 am - 3 am then rest for like 4 hours then 7 am - 11 am. I don't get a lot some days and somedays I get a lot. I don't know how I manage to get MP's on default settings. XD

    Well since you do it at night, i'd imagine there aren't many people who stay up all night just to buy stuff from Neopets shops, so I guess your only real competition is other AB'ers...

    And they'll most likely be at other shops like the BD weapons shop, or the Plushie Palace.

    Way to make me feel better xD
    I have the worst luck in restocking ): I got about 110 items from HPD & they were all profits of 500-1000, with only like 6 sold ._.
    & I think I've made about 500k after a few weeks of AB so.....:D

    I need to get better at this. >.<

    Why don't you AB stuff over 10k?

    That is what I was thinking. People from the UK and AB'ers.

    Lol, sorry! xP

    I don't think you can really get much better at it without changing buy times and refresh rates and stuff like that though, which requires advanced. 500k is more than i'd make a month playing legit anyway, so it's still profit :3

    You can pick higher profit shops but they carry more risk.

    Yesterday, my AB log looked like this:

    Spoiler

    Not sure if that was just because of Half Price day, but it certainly made me sad when I looked at it. :(

    Why don't you AB stuff over 10k?



    I actually had a manual list & a margin of 2k, so I don't know what happened. x.x
    & if I put 10k or more, I never get anything :p

    Bahaha it's okay (x
    Yeah, I'm working on it!
    Omgggg I know right o; it's better than nothing :D But I think I'm spending more than I'm making, cause I just bought Lab Pieces 1 & 5 and will probably spend the rest on a pet or something :p


    I'm scared of ABing in magic & stamps for a longer period of time because I've had my main for a while & I don't want to lose it :c

    Clothing is very hard on half price day or any day really. Lots of profit to be made. I usually get 4 items. Got 2 yesterday out of like 12.

    You could make a shell and use that to AB, I hear it's possible to make a decent profit on a young account.

    I actually got that MP within the first 20 minutes. I don't think it will raise much suspicion because I used defaults.

    I'm not exactly good at technical stuff :c I've read about the proxies & what I got from that was: 1) it might slow down buy times depending on the site & 2) some aren't good

    xD

    I have a side account old enough for AAA, but it seems too risky for me :p

    Lucky you!:D I'll try it again but I don't think it'll get any better :p
