    I much prefer custom lists than the automated ones they are much more reliable, list creator is very good but I would use it as a starting point and go from there, there is a specific discussion about AU in program chat btw. What are your buy times like? Is AU finding any valuable items at all and simply missing? I have pretty rubbish internet and still get 10k profit items easily. What are your settings? If you have a long delay time or the buy after the pic is loaded then that may be the problem but yeah you should get all those details and post your problem in the AU thread lots of information gems there

    The AU list creator is alright for certain shops but isn't perfect.

    How to create the best and most comprehensive list possible with the least amount of effort:

    -Use Jelly neo to list the items for shop#x in descending price, with rarity less than 101.
    -Use Zero's list creator to create a list from the price
    -Make a new search with rarity less than 101, order by rarity descending and make sure the Show Prices box is checked.
    -Manually open items with no prices in new tabs, starting with the highest rarity ones. Check each item's price on tp/wiz/etc. , quickly accomplished with JN's links, and you want to include them in your list, then make anew notepad document, and list all the items with their prices next to them.
    -When done with all the above steps, you should have two word document: one AB list made with Zero's list creator, and one listing the items unpriced on JN with their approx prices next to them.
    -Add the items from list 2 to list one, organizing by price. Items you couldn't find in TP/wiz/etc. should go to the top of the list.

    Tada. Confusing directions but really it's easy and simple.

    I just use the lists in the Level 1 chat and it works pretty well for me when Im not getting frozen. It might be pretty obvious, but if you dont plan on losing your 8 mo account, dont AB on it at all.

    A question about ABing...say If I bought it and restocked in the plushie shop, if a unbuyable appears what are the chances that I will grab that item before a legit restocker? and what are the chances of getting iced?

    Well, it depends how skilled he legit RSer is. If you were competing against Hally or SoC, they are very good RSers (you're welcome). Anyways, if your refresh rate is good (2-4 seconds), then there's a good chance. Also, if you want to get it as fast as possible, then don't delay the buy, but for safety, I'd enable delay buy to 1.7. The chances of getting iced, depends on how you manage it. Usually, the people that miss it will post on the boards that they missed it because they're mad, and they are going to watch the trades, etc. If you post it, they'll report it, so I'd suggest if it's a big buy to keep it to yourself for a while.
