    We need more members !!!!
    As of now, there's only 3 members in the competition !!

    Come on, even if you don't think you'll win, give it a try. Icing can happen to everyone so I really think everyone have a fair chance of winning this.

    Anyway, I might already be iced. Made 2 mistakes in my SS list and I'm under review XD

    About 10 members stated that they would enter the competition but nobody seem to have the time to do it :|
    It's not that hard ! Start the SSer, go to work, profit !

    I was hoping for ~15 members but meh...

    A few questions...

    What days to the updates come?
    Does your program check for item values, etc. in SDB?

    Lightning, you send it in twice a week. So that could be Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday or whenever.
    It does count for items in your SDB, but it is counted as unsold goods.
