    hello! as everyone knows, the igloo's an enormous cove of items, hence leading to the AB lists being very big.

    is anyone able to make a program that shopwiz-s all the items in the igloo AB list, and remove those that are below a certain price, hence making ABing at the igloo profitable?

    thanks!

    Lurking, mostly.
    Wouldn't it be easier to shop wiz items yourself and trim a list to your liking?

    A good afternoon project, to be sure! :lol:

    With so many items on the list it's take quite a while even with a program to do that because you'd get wiz banned really quickly unless you rotate through multiple accounts.

    Yea it would take quite a while... but it would become your own personal list! Consider it a side project until someone does come up with a program for it ;)

    hmmm, ya that'd be the idea, to split the list up into like, 80 / 80 / 80 items, and go through them with multiplie accounts. or you could just leave the prog running through the day, and it continues while unbanned.

    uh, not really. you'd probably die.

    lol I have a program that does this

    Its not very user-friendly though since I made it for myself. I'll see if I can release it some time when I'm less busy.

    pues yo estoy haciendo mis propias listas para evitar tener perdidas, en cuanto las tenga refinadas se las paso

    because I'm doing my own lists to avoid losses, once they have refined I share

    That's generous, but I think what he is trying to get at is an almost continually updating list, so that it is profitable no matter when you run it

    se podria hacer un programa que checara los precios de stock continuamente y al mismo tiempo checara los precios en tiendas, y fuera descartando los objetos que no tienen beneficio

    it could make a program to check stock prices while continually check prices in stores, and ruling out the objects that have no benefit
