    No GUI yet, here is the log of it running during its first book shop RS.
    It only prints out each item once, so there will be no duplicates in the log.

    Code (Text):

    I already have code for checking the shop wizard, so all I need now is a GUI.

    Wow, that's genius- kudos to you. :) How many times does it search the wiz? Is that settable? And at what is the price bar, is it settable?

    I am planning on allowing the user to set the number of times to search the wizard, as well as profit margin (both in percent and absolute value). It will, of course, sort the list by profit.

    Unfortunately, I just discovered that the library I have been using to connect to neopets doesn't work well with cookies that start or end with underscores (aka most of the neopets ones) so I am going to have to write my own :/.

    I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the list maker. It watches for the items that restock in the given shop and compares them to the wiz price?

    Sounds really good. Expon's one already has an auto-list loader, but that isn't really good. All the good items are on it, but an UB might be at the bottom.

    It watches a shop for a few hours, compiling a list of all the items that restock, then finds the shop wizard price for each one and sorts them by profit.

    that is insane. would be an amazing tool as many items are fluctuating in price, making the lists current lists suck. My AB bought a 900 np item for 5k.

    I just thought of something : This'd probably only work for shops like Chocolate, because in shops like Stamp there are a lot of UB's.

    But I guess if it can't find an item, it comes at the top of the list ? Then UB's would be at the top anyway, and it'd be even better :D
