    Well, I've never actually managed to see any items when I get to the igloo garage sale place, and I have NO idea what Items are there, I only know that they are good, and cheap.

    I'm planning on getting an Igloo Autobuyer soon, and I'd like to know:

    How much do things usually cost there?

    I need to know how much neopoints I need to start making a good profit there.

    1k

    10k

    100k


    Could someone please shed some light on the matter? :p

    Thanks in advance xD

    Items restock at about 500np->3000np

    The buy limit is 10 items per day, so you can easily do it on 30k :)

    I see, so this isn't a HUGE profit or anything... I always thought it would be worth more :p

    So basically, I buy the items form the Igloo place, then sell them at my shop for 500-3000 more neopoints?

    Ah well, the good life still remains but a dream :p

    Sorry maybe i misunderstood

    I thought you was asking for the PRICE they restock at

    Depending what list you use, the profit ranges from 10k->150k
    x that by 10 and you're looking at about 200k on average profit per day

    Okay, now I'm confused, you'll have to explain this to me as if you're explaining it to a retarded monkey :)

    Pick an item as an example and specify:

    What price you buy the item

    What price you sell the item (profit).

    thanks alot mate <3 I'd rep you if I could...but I think i gotta get level 1 first xD

    Ok
    well you download the igloo autobuyer and you get an igloo autobuyer list,
    (you get one pre-built that isn't great, and you can get one in level 1 or 3 private chat)

    On this list it has the items that make GOOD PROFIT, as not all items make a profit, and not all items make a big profit to be worth buying.

    Now the items that restock will restock between around 500np-3000np, (For example a "Vira pinata" restocks there for the price of about 400np)

    The autobuyer will have this item on the list and will purchase that item.

    You then sell the item at around 100,000 as far as I know, (been 6months since i last played) And make a nice profit :)

    Any questions feel free to ask, all part of my lovely job :D

    Or ask another mod if my explanations aren't very clean, i hate english and grammar, <3 maths! :D
    hehe

    Damn I wish I could rep you :p All in due time!

    Thanks alot mate, theres just one last thing I gotta ask:

    Why the hell is a Balthazar Pinata worth 100k?! What in god's name does it do that it's worth so much? XD

    Oh, and I heard around the forum, that you need to download some free programs before you can use an autobuyer, could you please tell me what programs I need for the igloo one?

    There in the "required files section"
    it's called erm.. .net framework
    And library files for Vb6

    And it's worth 100k because it's an avatar item :) Therefore has a high demand :D

    Thanks alot yet again <3

    Umm, and is there any way newbies like me can give reputation before we reach level 1? Or is level 1 the minimum requirement?


    <EDIT>

    Damn, just realized how to do it (little "Thumbs Up" thingy).

    Sorry for the spam xD

    I think the restock times are random each time, but I know that they usually occur 8 times an hour.

    And yea, the items dissapear in about 40 seconds, so it's not surprise you've never seen any items there yet :p

    And please don't post questions like these on my thread, make your own thread or something! Now the next post will be side-tracked.

    the igloo has alot of good items, you can make alot of profit there.. if your planning on using an igloo aber, stay on low profile since its monitored pretty well.

    Actually, not really. Staying low-profile for Igloo ABing isn’t much of an issue at all; TNT really doesn’t monitor the Igloo as well as they should. (Though the most profit you can make from one item there is Snorkle Snout for around 300k, or Bag of Peanuts for 400k, and below that avatar pinatas for 100k...but none of those stock all that frequently, so I suppose they don't think people cheating at the Igloo really matters much.)

    I say this because I’ve been Igloo ABing for around 2 months now, on even on my completely legit main, and I leave it on overnight without any issues. (I've never been frozen, except once when I bought a cracked account and that cracked account got frozen in a few days.)

    well what i meant by keeping a low profile was not setting refresh rates insanely high..

    but thanks for correcting me about the igloo, all this time i thought it was heavily monitored because someone i knew told me he got iced by igloo abing overnight. :)

    When I get AU I'll be using its igloo, and I've had no idea how it worked until now, so thanks guys :)

    With every program its the same - use in moderation. Then the freeze rate is pretty low :)
