Like .. are the restock dates accurate? .. I mean that like ALL RESTOCKS are there. not 1 missed? (For the last date of restock i mean)

 

Cuz someone said in a board that Yellow Clockwork Lupe SOLD OUT! .. but then when I checked the databse it said it restocked like last year or sumthing like that. (Its just either he's lying or the database's not accurate)

I don't think the database is 100 % accurate. If there is no AB running in the certain shop and refreshing at the certain time to log the buy or miss the restock date in the database isn't updated.

The restock times are accurate for the most popular shops, because I can guarantee that some of them have someone ABing at all times. In others, perhaps half of restocks are clocked and recorded. In yet others, perhaps none. I'd be surprised if the database had last restock data for the tikitack shop, unless we still use that to determine RS bans

Also, if our ABer brethren have their refresh rates set to a sane level, they might not catch every item in the restock, particularly the r99s and the like that are bought first.

If you've ever RSed manually, you'll know that the items that restock sometimes (perhaps often) don't all show up at the same time, they might be two or three seconds apart. That can also affect if and when our ABer brethren detect and record a restock.

Oh ok. thanks =)

Also it doesn't count stuff that has been stocked at the AAA. So items that don't restock frequently in shops could show up in the AAA more frequently.

It's not really possible for us to see every item in every restock in every shop, unfortunately.

Thanks =D So that means good news for me then cuz I get discouraged whenever I see shops that restocks items LAST or the LAST 2 YEARS. (w/out restocking anything good since)
