    VERY VERY UNSAFE!! DON'T DO IT!



    Okay I just don't want MORE competition ;) It's actually really safe from my experience.. Just treat it like any other.. Don't go selling anything straight away as it will draw attention to your account.

    XD Okay gotcha. You'd think it would be unsafe judging how profitable it is

    I was going to create a similar topic so instead i'll just post my questions here i guess! :)

    I heard the AA restocks every 7 minutes... thats true? And will 2 hours of AAA per day get me iced?

    edit: oh and i forgot to ask what amount of NPs would be good to AB in attic?

    thanks :)

    Hey all, I've been away from neopets for a while and was wondering what this so called" attic" is? What kind of items are there and is there a limit on the #of items you can buy?

    Almost Abandoned Attic. It sells rare stuff for quite cheap prices, it's situated south-west house in Neovia. and your account must be 3+ years to gain access though.

    Wow! Sounds great, thanks for the info. I'm sure there is still a lot of competition though right? I'm excited to test it out because when I'm on the neoboards people always put times up for the attic which got me interested. Does anyone know the frequency of eggs? Or is it just as rare in merrifoods?

    There's alot of competition.
    My success rate when using my ABer is ~50% with a high profit list.
    Take me almost 8 hours per day to get my 5 items but it's worth it :D

    As for what restock...
    I saw my first DE last week in almost a month.
    So from what I can see, they restock 2-3 times a month. It's not much.
    A T-tear even restocked this week.
    But there's alot of MPs everyday.

    I set up my auto to buy from the igloo and attic before I got to bed. Get up 8+ hours later, switch to another account, leave it on till I get home from work witch is 10+ hours then do it all over again the next day. Made over 90m and no problems yet. I wait a few weeks to sell the items however. All items from the igloo always go straight to my shop but any attic items get put into my SDB and still for alittle.

    I have moved over 20m at a time from my account to my main on the same IP through trades. I only use my other account to for attic and you are aloud to muli for the attic alone so no worries transferring.

    Thanks tharoux!

    One more thing i'd like to know is how you guys leave it on for 8 hours.... doesnt it shows TNT that you're ABing?

    And is there a very good attic list on nf? Or should i make one myself?

    I don't leave it on for that long. I normally just wait until I get 2-4 items maybe 1-2 depending on how good the item is and then turn it off.

    I don't think they have any detection/monitoring systems in the AAA. They won't catch you unless you do it for 12+ hours, or unless your account is being supervised/investigated.
