    This is ought to be interesting...

    Well since you have Magic in the mix, I'd say within 2 days.

    Interesting experiment. I would be interested in knowing the results. Especially how much you made before you get frozen. Hopefully you dont get frozen at all, but its nice to know how long of a window you have to get at least some of the stuff out.

    well...I actually try to move UBs out everyday :)
    I've gone from as little as 1 hour to months of ABing before being frozen.

    Are you doing dailies or min buy times? Also, are you straight up abing and nothing else, or are you also playing games, chatting on boards, etc. other legit-lookign activities? Account trophies? Plots?

    Just wondering. :)

    Hmmm, very very interesting would it be too revealing to know approximately what time zone this is? peak or non-peak, I had no idea AU had such a low failure rate only 1 miss is very impressive to me

    A bit unrelated, but something interesting to note- I was frozen after around 2 hours of abing. 1 sec refresh rate in stamp xD so no surprise. But the interesting bit is that I hadn't ab'd any UB's. Profit was probably around only 300k. :eek: So I'd say it's a safe bet that TNT logs refresh rates/items bought during RS's/number of RS you bought items from.
