After perhaps 1 month of restocking, I came up with the conclustion that igloo can bring more profit for non-advanced member than main shop,  at least the first 2-3 hours (10 items) 

 

I suggest non-advanced member stick to igloo instead of main shop. 

 

I set my igloo profit to 5000NP per item.

I found main shops to be way more profitable. Just gotta pick the right shops and stay there.

But how would this be more viable when you can only get 10 items per day? I'm pretty sure even regular members (non-advanced) can get more than the 10 items for much more profit than the igloo.

I mean first go buy at igloo and then after if you still have time, buy at main shop

What do you think about my suggestion?

[Strategist]

Honestly, I don't think it's more worthwhile just doing Igloo. I don't AB any more anyway but if I were new, I would be wanting to make as much profit as possible, not limiting it by just sticking to one medium.

But for non-advanced member sometimes you don't get anything for a day. restocking at igloo at least give you 50k at the first 2 hours. Then you can try your luck for the next 5 hours

And then you get a r99 one day. Also, igloo can't gurantee 50k every 2 hours.

How can you get r99 with non-advanced?

Easily, just have to hope you wander into the right shop at the right time, or make a list.

I make more than 50k a day letting abrosia do its thing, rather than stick to igloo.

Luck, it happens a lot actually.

[Faintingcow]

@Faintingcow is a prime example of people getting r99 without advanced membership. 
He was a regular member and made more than probably most advanced users because he was smart about it, used great settings, and a little bit of luck. 

Best advice I can give is to use a premade list

I am using a premade list... and I'm not sure about what is the "right" shop and when is the "right" time...

[WarezHaxor]

Depends on connection speed and latency (ping)...most people can't compete in the hifh end shops like battle magic, magic, defence, and stamps without a ping of like 400 ms and a down speed of 20 mbps+. If you're not having luck try places like food and pharm for a bit. Little less risky too that way...but you won't see many r99s.

Timing is all about luck really...some days you'll get 2 - 3 mps in magic...other days you won't get jack. More people competing for a rs means more restocks but tougher competition. I used to find doing it when the US is asleep was best because your soeed to neo servers was faster than those on the other side of the globe...not sure if this holds true still.

Mine is around 2400ms - 3000ms with my default setting... sometimes I can buy 10k-99k items but rare

[best]

I would agree with @best in that the igloo is much more profitable at least when the accounts are young. You really can't get 50k consistently in the same amount of time by MSAB on a 2 week old account

 

hmmmm..... mine account is over 3 years but I am trying others advice to stick in the main shop.

Got 3 bags of peanuts in 1 rs with those times once.

 

And since you have a 3 year old account, you could try attic. Way better than igloo.

Not since the restock algorithm was changed.

I honestly think that the hype surrounding r97-99s is too much. I've run Abrosia on a 5 year old side for 2 weeks and averaged 6m in profit a week(2.3m in HTS UB a week) this is without a single item over r96. I feel that while a massive profit on a r99 item would be nice, consistently getting that rate with a much lower chance of being iced is more efficient.

Yeah I put on attic but after abrosia buy something at attic it stops for 20 minutes for some reasons

[Hummingway]

This was worth making a whole topic about? "Buy from the igloo guys"?

 

I think you're trying just a wee bit too hard. :\

TNT recently updated the attic so you have to wait around 20 minutes to buy another item, which is why Abrosia stops.
