I have a question. Actually two questions. Are the non-VIP members restricted from purchasing certain items with the Abrosia auto buyer? Like for example.... are the non-VIP members allowed to buy draik eggs and items of that sort?

Another question that I have is, how do you guys set your Abrosia so that you do not get RS banned or frozen? How does your schedule look like?

Do you give it 2-3 hours of work time and 1-2 hours off for the full day? Or do you give it 8-9 hour intervals of being off along with the 2-3 hours or work time and 1-2 hours of off time? The reason for the 8-9 hour intervals is so that it looks realistic. Does anyone actually do that though?

[Waser Lave]

No, we don't restrict which items anybody can buy.

[kiddX]

My schedule does the 1 hour on 2hours off thing. I would recommend you experiment around and find a schedule that works for you.

[Shooriken]

So how many hours a day do you guys usually keep your Abrosia on for?

So how many hours a day do you guys usually keep your Abrosia on for?

i usually run 3 two hour segments, although sometimes i will do a few 3 hour segments

never really ran it more than 9 hours in a day

to sum it up, usually no more than 6 hours, be it in 3 two hour segments, or 2 three hour segments

[Shooriken]

Have you ever gotten frozen from using Abrosia? At this schedule, how long have you been going, and did you ever get frozen because of it?

haha there are many many many pages to read on this, its what best suits you, because i promise most people have been here frozen multiple times for working with their settings

me personally, i refresh 5-12 seconds

OCR and prebuy or haggle is at like .6 to 1.2

i have been ABing for 2 weeks and havent been frozen...some days i get 15 items...some days i get 55 items, it just varies

[Shooriken]

Interesting..... I cannot set my settings lower than 1.0 seconds for the haggle. Also I cannot set my settings lower than 8.0 seconds refresh time. Oh, and one more thing. How come it always makes me restock at the same stores? Always chocolate factory, or neopian furniture, or jelly foods, or pet pet supplies. That's pretty much it. 0-0 Is it because I only have 60k neopoints on my account?

no its because you arent an advanced member

you cant change any settings (except increase them) unless you are an advanced member

as far as the shops it makes you buy in, it chooses shops that are the most profitable, so you will still get great results using the ABer regardless if you are an advanced member or not

How long does the RS ban usually last? I got RS banned yesterday afternoon and its almost 12 and im still banned.

If you get RS banned to many times can your account get frozen? Or get RS banned permanently? Lol just curious.

it can be 30 minutes to like 48 hours i think...i was banned for 24 hours the other day, so it just depends

just wanna ask how abrosia prices the ub items?

[kiddX]

500+ post members can post their prices for those items. If you feel they are out of date for some item, let some one who can change it know and I'm sure they'd do it for you. I would recommend check Trading post prices as well for UBs whenever possible.

[Waser Lave]

It doesn't, our members price the UB items.

[Boggart]

Yup yup, we do the pricing. I always price any UB that I get and I hope others do the same benefits everyone really

[Scot]

If only I can edit some of these prices because they are so outdated

[Boggart]

If anyone wants to change a price, let me know and i'll do it for you

And to others, I will check the price before I update them so people don't randomly mess with me xD

[614joe]

Can someone buy something priced in your shop at 99,999? If so Abrosia almost ruined my day twice today lol.

It got me a Spotted Kau Plushie r-93 for like 450 np.
It put it in my shop for 99,999.
Seen price on some persons pet page where they have rare plushie prices ands its worth 150k lol. So if someone saw that in my shop I would have cried, cause it was marked as 99,999 for a minute.

Then it recently just got me Exotic Rug r-94 for 2,424 np.
And what do ya know, it put it in my shop as 99,999 lol.
I knew to take it out immediately. Checked on TP and someone had theirs marked for 500k. So woohhh *wipes sweat from forehead*. That would have been a major let down.

But Im pretty happy it got me 2 rare items. Don't know if you consider them UB's or not *lebron shurg*

I'm not 100% what makes it price items at 99,999... but I'm usually just happy to have something actually selling.

For a Plushie I would be pleased that it sold at all because UB plushies are a bitch.

Same goes for your other item. I try to lower prices until they actually sell.

Think about it this way: If an item has been sitting on the TP for a while chances are good it's HTS. I've seen people dump stuff into their shop only to move it (hell, I do it from time to time). That 10 lot limitation is a bitch and I'd rather sell something for 99,999 than have it sit there for ages without a buyer.

Also I might remove the item names from your post. You don't want someone like me to stumble by your shop by searching your UBs.

UB Plushies are bitches. I had one in my trades for all this week to just get sold last night for a dumb low price because I just wanted to get rid of it and see NP lol.
Yea Ima keep lowering the price of the 500k item. I hate how you can have UB's sit in the TP for ever and not even get any type of offer on it. Could be worth 300+k and you wont even get a slim offer of just 150k.

Eaa im fine. Hey if you catch me slipping and get a UB from my shop for 99,999 *hand clap* to you lol. I don't mind. I look at it as, Abrosia got it for me for pry 90% of that price so either way id make NP.

UBs usually price at 99999 because someone stuck it in their shops for that much and the autopricer matches it if you picked the 1.0 factor. This happens to me all the time when I want to keep my gourmet books and price the rest and some idiot puts it in his shop and makes mine get priced as well.


I've noticed that many people overvalue their items. It's funny when they have their HTS on the TP for weeks at 400k and as soon as I put it in my shop for 99999 I suddenly get pricing wars and end up selling at 70k.

Item #2 is why I usually do action #1

I prefer the instant sales anyway, but every once in a while it's nice to interact with the customers (aka when they don't bid, withdraw).

If it's not selling after a while it gets dumped on the wiz to increase my shop's visibility. The resellers know me well :3
