Hey guys. New here. How much do you need to donate to gain access to the advanced version?

Yeah you don't donate you buy it as a subscription like premium for neopets.
And I guess you bought it, so grats !

Yeah it depends where you AB.
And it's always going to be a waiting game. Takes time
and if it were to catch everything it wouldn't make you look legit. =P

Spooky Foods atm.

Well, that's a good place to start. How old is the account you're using? And ya, it just comes down to patience and luck; several good items may stock in an hour or two that you restock or none will stock in four hours. You just gotta kinda let the program do its thing.

The account I'm using is 9 1/2 years old. Does that make a difference in how the program operates?

No. As long as you're 3months+ and able to restock any rarity it wouldn't matter.
I've had a slow day today in AB -____- very slow.

But be careful, don't want to lose that old of an account to AB
make sure you keep it on a logical time schedule. Meaning don't leave it on while you're sleeping.
I got caught this way even if it's a small shop.

Thanks for the tips. Yea, that account isnt my main in any case, but I agree I don't really want to risk it getting frozen. I only plan on doing it for blocks of 2 hours. 2-3 times a day.

Ya, I only got one really small item today from the gardening shop (and missed like, four stamps T_T) in three hours and ten minutes. And then I tried later for another hour and twenty minutes and got absolutely nothing. So, as you can see, you win some, you lose some, as long as you're trying to mimic someone "restocking legitimately". If you want, ramp up the refresh rates and haggle speeds and see how long you last.

Let me know if that account is ever for sale.

Hello, I am back with new suggestions. Use your discretion as to whether or not this belongs in the newest updates.

• New restriction: AB does not buy item if profit is less than X% of shop price. For example, an item sells for 15k but costs 10k to buy for a 5k profit margin(50% profit). Factoring in undercutting you're likely to sell it for 3k profit or break even so the best decision would be not to buy it. setting the profit margin higher is a bad solution because in another shop you might find an item that restocks for 1k and sells for 5k(400% profit). Rationale: Abrosia once bought an item for 100k because the database put the price at 120k but ended up selling it at a heavy loss. 20k profit sounds good on paper but the investment is too heavy.
• Automatic Shut down: Shuts down/sleep/hibernate computer or close program after Y minutes or when buying is done for the day.
• Reintegrate the old scheduler with the option of switching between the old and new. Sometimes I want to deviate from the set times without deleting the settings already in place. Actually nevermind, I just thought of a better idea. What if you made the custom time entries editable without having to delete and resubmit?

As always, you have good suggestions. Unfortunately, you may have to wait until Christmas to see them implemented.

i was also thinking of something like this maybe like a start and stop timer so you could tell it to say stop after 2 hours restart after 1hr i often forget and leave it on when i go to collage and worry that its been on most of the day without a break

[jaredennisclark]

Same here. I hope it's because the programmers here are doing something.

[ShadowLink64]

Hmm, my copy is working just fine. It might be because of some minor server downtime (I couldn't access Neocodex earlier).

[xavarn]

It's working for me now.

[jaredennisclark]

Minor hiccup I suppose. Everything is going good on my side as well.
