    Does anyone know - How fast do the best legit restockers haggle/click the pet image? I don't want to haggle/click the image at an unrealistic speed if I decide to cheat, so I'm interested in knowing how long I should spend on the haggle page before actually buying the item.

    Sorry if this doesn't belong in this forum, btw. >_>

    While what lazypando said is technically correct, the situation posed isn't. That's one legit restocker vs. one person with an autobuyer. The fact is that in any given (good) shop at any given time there are a lot of people running autobuyers, and their autobuyers aren't all refreshing at the same time.

    Technical jargon aside, experience has taught me that without an autobuying program, you'll be very lucky to get any very high value items and you won't be able to do it consistently.

    All I actually meant to do was answer ephemeral's question: how long does it take for a legit restocker to buy something.

    So really all that was relevent in chilly's posts was:
    I was just too lazy to delete the excess stuff. :D

    TNT rarely freezes a legit restocker.

    If you're restocking legit, go as fast as you possibly can to get the item :)

    So does anyone know exactly how the TnT catches autobuying users? With all of the random values and things incorporated into the programs wouldn't it look really random?

    It's usually when people leave their aber on for hours and hours. Also some abers aren't even that advanced. But obviously, if you ab for a longggggg period of time and are able to get alot of items it does seem quite suspicious right?

    ^Sorry to hear about that. :/

    So, when SoC says "Semi-legit humans can buy in 2-2.5secodns," is that the time it takes for a human just to haggle/click the image, or does that also include the time it takes to load the haggle page?
