    If there is already this in the autobuyers sorry :) But with the programs giving you back information about successful buys can it automaticaly stop when the autobuyer has done 10/50/100 successful buys at any store? Just an extra feature if you ever wanted to try it :)

    That would be extremely...useless.
    By the time you have 50 buys you will most likely be frozen :/

    I actually think it could be quite a good idea. Maybe the number of buys could be made smaller, to make it seem more human. But I think that some of the autobuyers have options where the ab is paused after so much time etc, which is a similar thing.

    agree with you there, been suggested many times before tho i think :S
    make it a variable in which the user can change it, so the user can change it manually instd of it being prebuilt and the same for everyone

    A similar feature I've seen in an AB is pausing between buys or only buying a certain amount of items. like, it won't refresh from :45 to :00 and it stops once you get 34 items.
    You idea is cool though. I hope they add a feature like it. ;D

    thats a pretty good idea! so then you will have a less chance of being frozen or restock banned!

    i want something similar....

    how about when you run out of np it stops refreshing and logs you out? it would especially help new players without a lot of points

    i don't know about the new autobuyers but the old ones kept going

    This isn't an improvement for an autobuyer. Merely a fancy add-on for people who like to stay with their autobuyer while it's running.

    This wouldn't be too hard to add to an existing autobuyer; after every successful buy, add one to a variable. When that variable exceeds the number inputted, then the autobuyer can stop.

    I'll try to implement it after I get the basics of my new one down (multi-threading is annoying).
