    But i haven't seemed to snag a single item as of yet?

    Any idea's why? I've missed 11 items and restocked about 25 times.

    Any tips?

    Also how do i get my proxy to work?

    Proxy is not recommended as it makes the purchase slower.
    What are your settings and what shop/s are you ab'ing in?

    What shop are you in? Also, what speed (for the misses)? You probably either have a slow internet or are in a fast shop (i.e. magic) where there is loads of other ABers beating you to the items :)

    Im Ab'ing in the igloo for any items over the value of 20k

    And in Plushies for anything over 100k.

    And my fastest speed sop far has been 1,9 seconds.

    I also tried just Abing in the Igloo by itself with no luck also..

    Well, if you set your profit margin to over 100k, it will be difficult to get much since many people will be competing to get those items. As for the igloo, it doesn't seem to restock all that often, from my experience.

    change the refresh rate setting to 2-3 sec it'll help

    and prevent from going to magic aka shop no.2 because you hardly get any potions off there as there are alot people doing the same thing

    try shop 58 aka stamp shop and shop 62 coin shop

    No way, 2-7 refresh times are win! Use advanced refreshing. You can set AU to now download images, which will speed up your buys, under some settings...will find where when I start abing in a few minutes.

    I'd recommend using it no more than two and half or three hours once or twice a day, and no more than four or five times a week. That is the absolute maximum; to be freeze-safe, stick to a maximum of two hour sessions once a day, three days a week.

    I definitely would not recommend using your main to AB; instead, AB on a 4 month+ shell and when you have need of the nps you can transfer them to your main. Keep your main legit and your shell illegit; do not mix the two unless you absolutely have to.

    As everyone has said, a 100k list would explain why you haven't been getting many, and especially at plushie; UBs don't restock very often and UB plushies especially don't restock often. You can make your own list using Jellyneo's advanced search and Zer0's list creator, which can be purchased here:
    downloads.php?d=120

    Or purchasing any of the lists here:
    downloads.php?c=10

    Or browsing the forum; try the search function. People often post their own AB lists, but you should watch out and make sure that they're up-to-date and profitable. There is also an AB list database in the Level One private chat.

    [EDIT] Oh, this is useful too:

    hmmm the reason why i said 2-3 sec refresh rate is because u said u couldnt snag an item =)

    2-3 sec refresh rate could easily get u item better than other refreshes rate, and by the way it does easily get u restock banned often

    so change the setting to after 20-25 min of restock stop for at least a nice 40-60min


    thats how i do it to get 3 draik egg 2 krawk mp and 1 draik mp this mth

    Risky, but if you want to, go for it :)

    I use advanced refreshing; 2-7 if less than 20 items in stock, 7-12 if more than 20. But that's for RSing magic/stamp, I lower it if I'm doing another shop- 12 for pharm, 2 or even 1 for shops like book.
