    I think this has been posted before but with much more features wanted and I don't want to grave dig so here goes. Read the spoiler for the idea read below for how I got it

    Auto refresher that shows number of items in stock and number of restocks that you can set to one shop

    So I recently noticed that my igloo ab has not been getting something every restock and I assume it is because of the list so I check it out today. I wait for the status of the igloo to add another rs and more items in stock and wait to see if it buys if not then I'd already be in igloo and buy something I know of value. It got me thinking of perhaps making an auto refresher much like that on the igloo and other abs as well that just does the items in stock and amount of restocks that has occurred. I've only done this on my igloo today and I've increased my profit almost 100k in 2 hours from just watching and waiting.

    I also realize that it may be better to ab but for those who are semi-legit this will be a very handy tool for slow going shops like pharm and others. I to realize that the same could be done with opera with the blocking images and auto refresh but for some reason I look at numbers better than words :)

    Mods if this is inappropriate because a similar idea is a few posts down please delete.

    i noticed that the igloo ab doesnt get as many items as it used too. I used to get almost double the items but now i dont get as many. i thought. it was because more people are using it.

    So what are you trying to say on the auto refreasher? I dont understand...

    No most likely its your list because even if there are more people using it, if the aber sees anything on the list it will still attempt a buy. As for the refresher if you notice on the bottom right of the igloo ab it shows the refresh interval, amount of restocks , and amount of items in stock which is what I'd like for different shops . Just the refresher with those three things.

    Wouldn't be too difficult:
    You'd need to be logged into the program and your default browser. The program would then go to the selected shop page, parse all the shop items and count the number of items. If the number of items is greater than the number of items of the previous refresh, then the program loads the shop in your default browser.

    Is that what you meant?

    it could be helpful in case the program see there's any restock to open the page on your default browser
