    So I'm new to this whole auto buying stuff. I've been turning over a small profit. It's a lot easier playing games, but I used to crank out at least 50,000 NP a day playing games. I've been at auto buying for about a week now and I have made 250,000 NP. I guess that's okay but I hear the stories of people making that a night. What am I doing wrong?

    Foods not the best shop for the highest profit imo. How old is your account? If it is over 3 months move on to something else e.g Stamps #58. And 6-10 refresh rate is rather high set it to something like 3-8, you'll catch more restocks with a faster refresh rate.

    First of all your fresh rates are backwards, when there is No or LOW items in stock you should refresh FASTER as it's more likely to refresh (presuming your not banned)

    Second of all there FAR too slow, you want refresh of about 3-8 for a slow shop such as food.

    Thirdly your shop is a bad choice, food is rubbish in general for profit.

    Foruthly, your list is HORRIBLE, where did you get that from? Theres LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOADS More items that are profitable from food than your list.

    My rate when identified item is 1-2 seconds and on haggle page is just 1 second :p

    Whats your buy times, from that your looking at 3seconds+ ? that is FAR too slow, you want it about 2seconds ideally.

    Please put long lists in spoilers B)

    That looks better, getting restock banned is natural. I expect it EVERY day i RS :) Then wait 19hrs and RS again. RSing for 2hrs and getting banned is better than RSing for 10hrs. for MANY reasons which are obvious :)

    Well, for those low profits, I suggest you Igloo AB.
    It's unfreezable (unless you're really stupid) and you can gain more then 500k per day with a good list. (Anyway, that's my average profit).

    Lol, I agree, but it always hits me right when I'm about to leave my auto buyer on all night and see what I wake up with.

    2nd Post:

    I would, but I'm sort of low on points. Lol :D

    No need to double post, use the 'edit' button next time.

    I RS properly in Bakery and Spooky Food. The turnover is modest, but I'm OK with it since I'm doing it by hand.

    If I were to use an AB'er which shops should I go for?

    I'd like to AB at a shop with rare items but isn't really that popular.

    Brightvale potionery or Brightvale armory?

    Faerie Weaponry (Psellias Fan :))
    Magical Marvels
    Food shops?
