    I think they do if you leave it on for hours it will show up it's not a human refreshing for that long, or if you have a crazy refresh period but your right it is just click not haggling so a person could be as fast as an AB right?

    Well the way I see it, if you leave it on for under 12 or so hours, you'll have a very very low chance of getting frozen. THere are a lot of people who restock for entire days at a time. The igloo is special because, yea, theres no haggle. Sure the AB buys the item in like .02 seconds after the refresh takes place, but most of the time, since your refresh will be ~7 seconds, you'll refresh in the middle of a restock so it wont be like you're purchasing an item .02 seconds after the igloo was restocked, but more like .02 after you refreshed the page, which could be anywhere between 1 and 7 seconds after the igloo restocked. Hope that made sense...it did to me lol. So to TNT, they wont see you buying an item .02 seconds after the stock, but more like 2.02 after the restock. Sometimes you might get lucky and restock right on the shop stock, but more than not you wont.

    Do you think they moniter the very very rare items when bought and check the records of the buyer to see if they think it has been AB'ed or do you think that is too time consuming?

    I never knew that about the Igloo shop before.

    I always wondered why it had its own ABer

    so many people get iced for autobuying, why cant anybody get the point? if you autobuy around 70-80& of the time you will get iced. (if you get anything good that is) the only time i have lost an account was when i got warned and then iced for flaming people on the boards

    lol i take that back, a couple of my accounts were iced today. My two new accounts used for autobuying and selling, and my backup account that i send my extra hoards from the first two accounts to. Lost about 1.5 mil abed items from the last 5 days, along with ~15 mil of hoards from the backup account. Luckily i didnt touch my main account during this time. LOL i had seroiously thought that i would never get caught, kept the igloo runing 24/7 lol.

    Got chain frozen for using AB. While I only used the Igloo AB sometimes on a side account.
    Main account was about 40+mil.

    Oh no, sorry to hear about your icing! Are you going to cut down your usage on your new accounts? I only ever leave mine on for 45mins at a time, I don't wanna lose my 6yrs side account!
