Only about my 20th AB related topic lol.

Anyways, share your experiences with different stores.

Faerie Petpets, I never had good experience with. You have to pretty much go for the UB items here. Too few different types of items to stock, so everyone goes for the same thing, and it rarely restocks. Ran for a few hours throughout 2 days, never saw a UB.

Chocolate: actually had a decent experience with although it's considered a "beginner store". Restocks a LOT of items at once so you get an item or two or three every restock and it restocks often. All items give you measly profits though ranging from 5k-10k, but occasionally I stock an item that sells for like 80k-90k. Overall, I got annoyed that I kept getting a lot of items with small profits. I prefer few items with larger profits. Some items are hts others go quickly. It might however be that I had a mediocre list. This was my first store so I used to preset list. Also, this shop almost never stocks UBs.

Spooky foods a step up from chocolates imo. You get a steady income of 20k-40k profit making items. And you often run into items that sell for 80k-90k profits. As I was posting this, I just restocked two pumpkin pot pies. Only thing is, items are rather hts. My items are set to several 1000 np lower than the cheapest I can find and it takes 2-4 days to sell. Stocks UBs a few times from what I hear, I've yet to restock one.

Furniture similar to spooky foods actually, there are a variety of profits you can attain. This store stocks a lot of unbuyables and high rarity items. However, the items are impossible to sell unless you're willing to go 90% below TP price

Defence Magic idk what to think for this. I only got 1 item ever, sold for 600k profit. I could have gotten 1mil+ if I tried probably, but I had just started out so I wanted a quick profit. However, I ab-ed for several hours for 2 or 3 days and I only ever got this item. I might just have gotten extremely lucky, because this store barely restocks, is incredibly populated, but unlike faerie petpets it restocks a wide variety of items, which is better I suppose. I'll have to experience more with this probably.

Also a FYI, I've been AB-ing for a week on and off experimenting with the stores above. I've made about 1.9 million, starting with 170k.

a million in a week?
won't TNT come after you for suspicions?
and aren't you giving away your AB spots, increasing competition and reducing your chances at making huge profit?

Legit's do this often. I made 7 million-10 million a week in the past without a ban.

And you could say that about this community? Why would anyone make AB-ers to create competition for themselves? Why do people make AB lists? And AB-ing guides? This is a community to share resources. This is what neocodex is all about

But furthermore, these arn't really "secret" spots. They're already pretty popular to the public.

I'm pretty new to ABing but I've had good luck with the Magic Shop before. Lots of big-profit items. I've had decent luck with stamps but they're kinda HTS (in my opinion) and a lot of them are really low profit. I hear the Magic shop is a pretty high-freeze place thought.

Yeah, you pretty much want to stay FAR away from Magic because of the freeze rate there. If you want to push it, then AB until you get one item then leave.

Personally when I had the ability to run an ABer, I had awesome success in Spooky Foods myself. 500k from two hours of ABing is pretty dang nifty in my opinion.

[Will]

God I know the freeze-rate at magic is really high I just can't stay away. I think I made 4+ mill there!

[Grizzly]

What makes freeze rates from one store different from another?

Being a newb I'm not really sure but I think it has something to do with the number of people restocking a shop? Like at the Magic Shop loads of people are there all the time competing for the really expensive items so if there's someone snagging a lot of the stuff then it would throw up a redflag for TNT to check the person out.

I could be wrong.

[Selphie]

I usually restock in the Book shop, the Bakery, Chocolate shop and Furni and make a good profit. But seeing as a lot of you are recommending Spooky Foods, I think I'll try in there sometime. :]

[Oaken]

Spooky foods is getting harder and harder to get good items from.

Samte thing happened with the background shop....it used to be amazing but now it is useless. Imight give the magic shop a try. Knowing my luck I will get frozen after the first item I get

[Jackus]

anyone know where i can get the item lists from?

[Waser Lave]

I tend to stick with Books, Chocolate, Bakery or Spooky Foods. Lots of easy low-profit items.

[Tetiel]

Spooky foods is actually the best in my experience but I haven't ABed in about a year. Maybe it's different now but you used to be able to get a lot of snorkle snouts or whatever they are and then automatically sell them within like 5 minutes for 80k a pop. Reason being the avatar you get for eating them. Best profit item in my opinion and it actually is not that rare so you don't have to have an overly aged account.

[Bryn AKA Interhacker]

Some thing that always makes me paranoid...ive been "caught" abing and froze many many many times, but on some rare occasions i got frozen about a week after i last used my abb, can anyone shed any light on what would cause this to happen?

I always put it down to them letting me abb in the hope that i might send items to another account so they can find my main

Any thorghts?

I have to agree, Spooky food is my favourite shop to AB in. The items aren't very HTS because of quests, and there's a lot of low rarity items which sell for a nice amount of profit.

[Jackus]

i been abing spooky foods today... made pretty neat profit too

[Bryn AKA Interhacker]

jakus yes, thats the only way i ever cheat, and it rare i use the abber! any ideas or theorys?

[iNextGenWarrior]

I've had good experiences w/ Pharmacy ... Not many UBs but good profit and very ETS... its like an ETS spooky...

[Grizzly]

The UB gourmet foods at spooky foods are kind hts.

I change my mind, I hate furniture. Nobody wants their UBs

Anyone have any testimonials for stamp/plushie/coins?

Nope but I have a coin list that adonis gave me so tomorrow I'll give that one a shot and tell you how it goes.

Yeah I just compiled one too actually. Going to give it a test run soon as my restock ban ends

[Selphie]

Oh, and Kayla's is quite a good place for profits if you can stand the wait between restocks. If you can get an Essence of Drackonack that's 60k a piece, for example, and Bomberry Elixirs are around 40k each.

[Will]

Yeah...I actually can't help test that out after-all. Forgot I was ABing today, went to work, came home 8 hours later and surprise, I was frozen. I sent in my appeal but I think they've got me cold this time. I'll make a new account I guess. Sucks to lose the pretty pets though.

Oh noes. Can you give us details? How long were you AB-ing for in total? How long did you leave it running when you got banned? Did you get chain banned or are your side accounts (if any) ok?
