    In the last 10 restocks, my autobuyer hasn't been able to pick anything up/ not even haggle

    The item list is fine and everything

    Does anyone know the problem :(?

    Well the first thing is that the igloo doesn't have a "haggle".

    But it probably depends on your list and settings.

    If you're using a 20k list and refreshing 5-10 you won't get anything all day.

    well, i'm refreshing 4-7
    it seems to take a really long time to check the igloo though

    (yeah i'm using the 20k+ list)

    Anyone have any hints about this ~_~

    2-6 for main shops.

    well I don't really think it's my refresh time

    but sometimes it takes up to like 5 seconds to check igloo >_<

    Well yeah, that's your problem.

    Typically, igloo refresh should be 1-2 or 2-3 if you want to be really safe.

    A 20k igloo list will also take a bit for it to grab something as it is, though.

    I always used a 1k list because I was impatient lol....takes about an hour to get 10 things.

    Here is a great guide to the igloo neopets-information-f82/official-guide-to-igloo-autobuying-t17469.html

    I see, so realistically I shouldn't hope for over 3 items if I'm looking for 20k+ a day?

    by the way, is it normal for the time to check igloo to be pretty long?

    Personnally, I often get my 10 items per day with the 20k list.

    And yeah, some times it can be longer to check the igloo. I don't know why, but it can be longer some times. If it's longer all the time, maybe send a PM to the creator of the program.

    Wow...I've NEVER gotten anything from the Igloo recently. It's like it's dead, and the most profit you can make a day is like 10-20k the max. Used to make like 200k from pinatas and stuff. *sadness*

    1-2 Seconds.
    The Igloo is not freezable unless you're really dumb.

    Lol, very true :p

    You really can't be "dumb" in the Igloo though. They barely even monitor it because it barely ever RS a profitable item. It's all junk...:(

    Igloo autobuyer just takes a long time to pick up something good. A profitable item doesn't always appear each restock. When I igloo'd, it was common to go 20-30 restocks w/o picking anything up. I also agree with the other suggestions to decrease your refresh time to 1-2 seconds because it is highly unlikely to get frozen from igloo only.

    Lol, this wasn't the case about 1/2 a year ago...I mean, you could make gigantic profit :p

    But again, TNT felt lazy so they probably decreased the chances for profitable items vs. monitoring the igloo. Anyways, they already knew that fewer legit members would go there compared to illegit.
