Really? How do I know what to put them up for auction for and for how long? I tried this and no one bid.

Check the Shop Wizard/Trading Post to see what range others are selling the item at?

Is it best to put them up in autction for 1np and watch it rise or should i start higher.

I don't mean to offend you, but how new are you to Neopets?

Are your items Unbuyable, or Buyable?
If they are Buyable, I find it best to just put them in your shop and find out what to price them at using the Shop Wizard. If they are Unbuyable (worth more than 100,000np) then it is usually best to use the Trading Post or Auctions.

I stopped playing NP about 3 years ago, and I start back playing about 2 days ago.

Okay, I was just curious. I assume you have mostly Buyable items then? I would just put them in your shop and wait for them to sell. That's what I've always done and it has worked perfectly for me so far. You may have to wait a bit for the items to sell though depending on what they are.

Yeah idk I have a feeling they are just random useless Items. I did what you suggested and priced them about 1k-2k under the market price (as long as that didnt put me in the negative) so I have to lowest prices and ill just wait it out.

Make sure not to undercut too much on hts items
that means more people will try and undercut your prices
and eventually lower it's value. ex. hse

[xavarn]

good point.
Should i just let the autobuyer price it for me at -50 of the lowest value then?

I would recommend default settings - check out the pdf guide on the program. It's under the 'help' section.

What do you mean? Like you tried to log in through the programs but it wouldn't work?

I have yet another question regarding Abrosia. Lets say I'm in a shop using the Item Database and my profit is set to... 20k. What if three items stock in this shop - one with 20k profit, one with 80k profit, and one with 500k profit. Which one will Abrosia go for first? Does it prioritize the highest profit items and go for those first? Or does it go alphabetically? Or is it just whichever is closest to the top of the shop?

You know what, everyone said it was by profit but from my AB log i have had it buy lower profit things first and a few seconds later get higher profit things. So either it restocked again twice in a row really quick or it might not go by profit.. It hasnt caught enough stuff since i've been looking just since this morning, but so far it looks like backwards alphabetical order. that could be completely off, just sayin what my log looks like.

edit: i just looked again, it's also in order from least expensive in the shop to most. this is just 3 things within seconds of each other. profit on first thing was between the 2nd which was lowest and 3rd thing had highest profit.

That's so weird. Are you using Windows?

I'm just curious, but isnt it suspicious if my autobuyer is refreshing the same shop for 45 minutes straight? I mean maybe i'm unaware of the technical aspect of how it works... but still it seems like its asking to get a frozen account.

Not 45 minutes. I think it starts looking suspicious after around 2 hours. You have to imagine the Autobuyer is a human being just like you and I sitting at your computer and restocking for you. It isn't all that unusual for a legit restocker to sit in one or more shops for an hour or two. That's the way I see it anyways.

Not at all.
Legit restockers mainly have 4+ tabs open when restocking
and they take HOURS and HOURS restocking, literally.

But know your limti and don't keep Abrosia on while you're asleep.
Just time it right. Really.

[xavarn]

Man, thats some dedication, although, im sure i would do it if I actually knew the price of the items off the top of my head haha.

[xboox]

yes i use windows vista and run as administrator

Yes, just put everything on notepad , save it then load list.
Or use the abrosia format and just add items from there and then save it, it'll be saved into notepad anyways ( slower also)
Mostly people who don't have advanced use this. Liiike mee! :9

Well when you say put "everything" on notepad what do you mean by that? I have absolutely no idea how to start, thats why i was wondering if thee was a tutorial or a website someone knew of where i could learn how to create my own list.

[Derriere]

Basically find anything that you'd want to buy from that certain shop
then put it on your notepad.

There's a few lists on here.
Just dig through the forums.

Just dig through there!

[xavarn]
