Use your own lists (pick your own shops) & keep an eye on how many people are in each shop, because with the default non-advanced settings you're automatically going to be a lot slower than all the advanced members you're competing with

& AB instead of autoplaying Cheat/Pyramids, AB earns more NP in the same amount of time

I'm not too sure how the manual lists work. Could you help me out with that?

[Alyss]

Select "load a manual shop list" instead of using the lists "provided by the items database"


You get to pick your own shop, only one though.

Its quite straightforward, just load your list of all the items that, if they restock, you want Abrosia to buy.

Oh, thanks. Which shop(s) are the most profitable?

Tiki Tack, Brightvale Motery, Chesterdrawers' Antiques




...but seriously, don't expect people to tell you their favourite shops they'd have more competition that way! Just do your own digging around and work things out, its not hard and it doesn't take that much time to check out the profits on items in different shops & compare using the item database. The "most profitable" shop also depends on whether you want to buy high volumes of low profit items or small quantities of high profit items, both can make you very rich, its just which one you prefer.


and you're very welcome (:

Thanks thanks. Also, is the Igloo worth it? Like-- When you're restock banned for x time, is it worth keeping the AB on and going through the igloo?
--
Also, the DB says the motery only has like 5 profitable items, and that the "estimated profit " is really low. Like ~50 NP. What does that say about it?

[Alyss]

One way to find out By the time I get RS banned I've done enough ABing for the day anyway so I just turn it off.

...
I was kidding btw. Its an absolutely terrible shop to AB in, obviously?
Just compare it to like, Magic or Food.

[Falien]

Why is no one buying the stuff in my shop? I even re-priced it lower than abrosia prices it, after checking the shop wizard. Some things sell instantly but other items (i.e. Darigan's Guitar) just sit there forever, no matter how low I put them. ._.

So should I just let the AP do its job and not mess with it?

What are your current settings? If you want items to sell fast, set it to "Lowest" and lower the NP by a set price of 500 NP or something.
If big ticket items (e.g. 80k+) aren't selling in your shop, decrease them by 10k or more if you want them gone.

You'll still be making profit anyway

[Falien]

Yeah my settings are currently at lowest; profit at 5000+.

[Musician]

Yeah my settings are currently at lowest; profit at 5000+.

Some things are pretty hard to sell, so yeah...
Keep decreasing the prices occasionally and follow this guide: http://www.neocodex....ing-abed-items/

How much do -you- make in one week, as a normal member? And, do you use a manual list?

[pkdust]

this is a very nice program.. although i wish there were more profit for normal shop abing.

[Alyss]

When I was a normal member, I always used lists, and I made at least 250k/day. More than that on days I got lucky and snagged a high profit item. Its entirely possible to make more than that with normal membership, I just wanted to keep my ABing times and speed settings very reasonable.

Thought I'd jump in to back up my own advice.

[pkdust]

Thanks Alyss, but i was wondering. Do you have any tips. At this point i've been using 1,000np per purchase profit in main shops, 5,000 in igloo, and 25.000 in AAB. Restocking with the average price setting. Any tips?

[Alyss]

Which shops are you restocking at, and are you using manual lists?
Also, are you seeing a lot of missed items, or just no items detected at all?

[pkdust]

i've been using all shops, plenty of detects, of course i get the rare miss..

[Alyss]

Only "rare misses"? You should be happy then.

[pkdust]

i am happy, there's always room for improvement though.

[Falien]

250k per day as a normal member? Jesus christ, I only make like 60k. What on earth am I doing wrong?
---
The 60k INCLUDES the 40k a day from the NP Gen + Dailies. =/

If I had a list on, that wouldn't have happened.
Why are lists better, again? :<

Also, what's the best way to sell this? It's not on the shop wizard and I'm the only one with an auction up, Will people really pay 300k+ for it?
