    Stuff like around 200k-300k? Or even HTS that sells for more? I always avoided stuff like that on my AB list.
    But surely they're not as monitored as draik eggs and such?

    Toys seem to have a lot of expensive dolls, that go for 5mill, but i've been convinced that ABing that is just as high risk.

    ...I think anything that is high priced COULD cause a problem. But I think it would be oaky. I RS in all the high priced shops... I've had draik eggs, a few potions, a few rare stamps and books... It's all about the times I think and how err, you get rid of the items after that. (but thats just my opinion..)

    Really? You got a draik egg and potion and didn't get iced? o_o That's amazing.

    Yea Junior is a legend... ;)

    But seriously, it all depends on your buy times, how soon you get rid of it, etc.

    Yeah I was lucky - Got iced 2 months later for using a side to make np's.. not for cheating... So I consider it safeish..

    I have strict buy times though... 3.2seconds + (not by choice.. just my nets slow)

    I have abuyed many items over the years and not been frozen :p some of which include draik mps, rare stamps, and a draik egg :p it depends on the time it takes for you to buy the item, If you get an item quickly or in a time a natural person couldnt get your in iceland :( it really depends on what times you get. BUT AUTOBUYING HAS MANY RISKS .

    You should already know ABing has its high risks. Try ABing discreetly and maybe you'll get away with a few toys. Haha, good luck with that though...

    Yes I am aware of that tyvm.
    I am asking how HIGH of a risk it is for HIGH VALUE toys. Not ABing in general.
    Not to mention I haven't touched my account for 6 months?
    I think after almost what two years? I am aware what the consequences of ABing can be.

    I think you would be relatively safe as long as you are using some normal buy times. As long as you don't act like an ABer and arent getting anything too insane, you should be fine

    erik, I usually have buy times anywhere between 2900ms - 3200 ms on Ricky's FF AB.
    I don't think there's a setting for it unless I change things in the script which I really don't know how to do.
    But it's designed to look legit haha.

    Haha yeah then you should be fine. It seems like TNT is low risk since it is HTS and I doubt TNT watches toy. I know I never personally was frozen when I ABed in toy, and I got some pretty expensive random items

    I have gotten Krawk Potion x3 Draik Potion x7 or so.
    Who knows how many, never been iced for them.

    And ABing anything will have a risk. Regarding your toys, I doubt they are monitored tightly

    that is simply amazing.... :yup:

    Toy used to be monitored when plushies stocked and before plushie palace came out, but you should be fine.

    I've never had a problem with Plushie or Toy, I just set breaks within my total AB time.
    Last month on the account I used for those two netted about ...3m? Still a few things unsold actually.

    Take decent reseller offers, let them sit in SDB a few days.....that's what I've been doing, been fine so far.

    Autobuying anything high value tends to come with higher risks
