    Average legit buy time if you are very good should be around 4.
    My average AU buy time in the past was 3.4-4s and that was good enough to snag good items.
    By I guess the average AB timing is around 3

    Agreed. You'll get more items than the rest of us.. but you definitely won't last as long before getting iced.

    Mine are ALL a minimum of 3seconds. I still get plenty of good stuff. Wouldn't have it any less. m happy with my times.. good mix of buys and missus, good mix of good items and bad.. And I have had my AB account for a few months now, and I run pretty much every day.

    just curious does upping your time increase your attic buy time as well? Thats why i keep it so low, figured that having a 3 second attic buy time would just make me kill myself.

    and does having buy times this high get rid of the freeze rate in magic and stamp?

    You are never safe when Abing but having a time of above 3 seconds definitely decreases you chances. I believe Au tries to buy as fast as possible in the attic and igloo depending on your computer/internet so there are no delays if that is what you are asking.

    I'd say 3-4 seconds. just like non AB'ing, see how fast you can do that legitly thanmake your AB'er a little faster
