Now if we could write a script to....The script is technically already written, but I don't have a copy of it, as the search sites do it for me - I just looked on them and then logged in and made the necessary purchases whenever I would find mispriced items. As for writing a script that could be used independantly from those sites, it sounds like it could be an interesting project, and while I don't know how difficult it might be, it doesn't seem too impossible. Logging in might be a little annoying, but it should be fairly simple overall, depending on how many shards would be searched, the method used to log-in, and the timer used to determine when to begin logging in each time (pretty much like a BOD timer, I would guess?). The wandering part seems fairly simple, although I haven't done much with rails, but there is enough help out there for that. Finding and opening the vendors also seems rather simple, although opening all the containers on the vendors might take a little more work. And then the actual searching of items and their prices seems like it might be rather straightforward too, most likely by setting a list of items and high prices to pay, with the possibility of speeding up the scanning by ignoring items after an initial scan. Anyway, just brainstorming a little, as it sounds like a lucrative project, but I am a little hesitant to take on anything too big right now (personal issues), although once those are cleared up, I would be all over trying to work on a larger project like that!

I am thinking after no drops that something you are doing must be corrected. It was funny to start but this is way way against the odds. How about a step by step run down on what you are doing?
