I have saved up with over 300 points and i just bought the mother of all ABs fear me now. but.. do i even wanna bother ABing anymore >_>
congrats... doesn't it feel good to finally own one of the best ab's on the internet. Just don't go too overboard and enjoy it.
Can you please support this statement? It looks like a general ABer to me (with some extra functions that a bland one wouldn't have)

Thank you for posting something that I have obviously already read *rolls eyes* I was looking for a more coherent and useful answer...something along the lines of explaining how it runs particularly well, perhaps has low freeze rate, things that really matter...not just the number of silly amenities it has. Thanks for trying.
Wow.. Ice that's kind of a rude reply to Fasty's answer... How would he know the information that you are asking? Why don't you ask good ole Expon yourself. So stop being rude and ask. rolls eyes at you.
:lol: To be frank, there isn't much difference between a high-end ABer like the Acheteur and a very minimal ABer. They both perform the EXACT SAME main function, which is to autobuy. For computers that run billions of operations per second, the difference buy "speeds" for every ABer is very negligible. However, the AU has the capabilities for automatically performing many functions that you would normally otherwise have to do manually (hence the long feature list). This means you waste less time of your life performing the many monotonous tasks such as selling your items, and more time autobuying. If all you want is a regular autobuyer, by all means use an average autobuyer. Remember, an autobuyer is just a tool, and everyone has different preferences for their tools. The AU is just a step up (or several steps up) from the average autobuyer. And to answer your first question, yes, the AU is just a general ABer with some extra functions that a bland one wouldn't have. Analogy! AU is to a normal ABer as a Lamborghini is to a normal car Hope that helped
Here are some more facts about the Acheteur Ultime v3.3.... this is one week of running the program. 2 hours a day. successful buys 1100 failed buys 18 so i would say its a top notch ab.
lol, that doesn't say much 'cause it all depends on your list. If you have a 1 mil+ profit list, you're failed buys will be much higher than if you had a 5k+ profit list.
Is it really that good compared to other ABs? should i save up until i can buy that one or a lousier not 0 second buy?
it pretty much is awesome its like.. flawless it does everything a normal AB does, but more and with class
not really.. you would think its hard to get to 300 posts but its not... just try not to concentrate on the numbers and keep posting the way you are and you will make it there in months after than a year. Don't spam tho lol...
AU is very low-freeze BECAUSE of the many features it has. I've never been frozen using AU. I think alot of this is attributed to the (optional) 2-second minimum buy time feature, and the ability to stock/deposit/price/etc. all your items automatically through AU, thus eliminating the suspicious activities of relogging in to autoprice or manually price and sell your items through your browser or even another program altogether. What it all comes down to is that AU has ALOT of features and adjustable settings that every person can use and fine tune, thus looking more human-like and less automated, robot-like. ..I'm really, really tired right now and I'm probably not even making sense, actually. I not even really coherent.
No, actually, that was a very coherent post. And it helped me understand the draw of having one program that could do a bunch of different things. I never thought that using an ABer and then manually pricing may look funny, but I guess it probably does :/
What else do you do with an ABer besides autobuy? And are the neopets staff really that diligent, freezing accounts that re-log in to stock up your shop and stuff?
