I can't be sure what all's going around privately but as far as I know this is actually the best money-making bot ever created that doesn't exploit bugs or something like that. On average I estimate it makes around ~50 mill per hour and that was back the last time I used it before this latest round of hyper-inflation.
This is a vend bot that can decide whether an arbitrary item is a good buy or not. It knows if an item is artificially inflated, hard to sell, etc, because it can read the ABP and volume charts.
You might remember my marketplace buying greasemonkey script from like last year, and I said I was working on something better. Well I was, and I finished a long time ago, but have been keeping it under wraps because I was using it. Now I'm so rich it's not even worth the two minutes of effort per day it takes to get it up and running. Every day my net worth goes up or down by 4 or 5 billion just from the market insanity... So I've just gone completely to hoarding instead. (And tbh that's gonna get annoying soon too so... stay tuned and you'll probably see my account for sale!)
Anyway, here's the video, sorry it's so long and boring, it didn't feel so long when I was filming. The important parts are:
0 - Start indexer
10:15 - view log
18:00 starts vending
26:40 marks Ashen Marionette for buy
I definitely won't release an executable and I may or may not some day release the source.
If anyone has a throwaway account in T3h Vending Guild, you should post this video there. I was one of the top venders in there and no one ever suspectedI don't think.
I was going to post the video text in the description but I guess it's too long. So here it is:
What's up thugs
So here I am going to demonstrate my Gaia vend bot. I am going to start the phase #1 of the bot and then talk about it because it takes a while to do its thing...
So what this does is, it goes through the marketplace and finds items, looking at thousands of items, which it thinks would be a good buy at *some* price and then it suggests what that price is. Basically it finds out what you should pay for an item if you want to resell it and make a bunch of money.
So I know this has been attempted before and has ended in failure, as far as I'm aware in every case except this. This bot has been a great success. Why most such bots fail.
(by the way, I'll put the time of the video where i actually start vending in the comments if you want to skip ahead)
Why most such bots fail is because the only information they use is the lowest buy price and average buy price of an item. This is bad news because an item might be artificially inflated. For example, maybe an item is really only worth 100k, but someone bought one yesterday for 10 mill, and then the average buy price changes to 10 mill, and someone lists another one at 10 mill so the Lowest buy price is 10 mill too. Then the day after, the price will (couldnt type for a second somehow...) crash and burn and if your brilliant bot had bought you that item for 8 mill you'd be SOL
Anyhow the beauty of this bot is that it can read graphs and interpret them just a human vendor does. So the bot has at its disposal all the information that a human vendor does, and it can use that information to come to intelligent decisions about what you should pay for an item.
The bot can tell when an item is artificially inflated, when it is very volatile, or when it is hard to sell. In those cases it will either not recommend a buy price or it will recommend a very low buy price.
The bot is very good at this and I have trusted it with billions of coins and left it running unsupervised. It hasn't let me down. Well, it does make bad buys sometimes, but when I go and look at the charts, it's never actually the bot's mistake. Like for example, sometimes an item is selling at 10 mill every day for a whole month. The indexer sees that, and it chekcs the lowest buy price too (lets say that's also 10 mill) and it suggests a buy price of 8 mill because the item seems pretty stable.
But then later in the day a bunch of people start a price war and list that item at like 7.5 mill. Then you buy it for 8 and that's a whoopsie.
So yeah that happens sometimes, but fairly rarely, and when it does, my item selling script has the ability to check the lowest buy price when it sells, and if that lowest buy price is much lower than it was when the vend indexer bot came through, it will override the indexer's buy price with a new one (or if the price really crashes, the bot will decide not to buy that item anymore). So when it does make mistakes it can adjust itself so that it does not make them aghain.
I set the indexer to do 50 pages, still 11 to go... Usually I do many more pages but this is just for example purposes.
We can go have a look at the log to see what kind of prices it's suggesting....
So here is the bot's log, as you can see, pretty big already after what, ten minutes?
So we can see what kind of prices the bot is suggesting.
For blackjack here, that's a new item so that automatically gets a pretty low buy price, just a little more than half of the ABP
Same with dice roll, the bot is wary of new items
Obviously if we can't get the graph data we can't recommend the price
Now here's one the bot is a little more aggressive on because it has very high volume (units per day, the graph on the right) and doesn't have any terrible warning signs int he graph.
The bot likes high volume items, with a volume of like 75 like this item, even if there were some warning signs in the ABP graph, the bot would still suggest a pretty aggressive price because you will probably be able to sell it in like half an hour.
Ok here's an example of something that would be a pretty shitty buy... It's artificially nflated (or at least looks that way) and has shitty volume too. So it's a no buy (price suggestion: 0)
The indexer is done so now... we have a data file with all of the prices in JSON format (kinda)... that is here
So there's like 500 whatever suggested prices (you get a lot more if you do more pages. again, I just did 50).
So now we are going to put that into phase #2 of the bot which, if you've looked in the public programs section on logical gamers, you may have seen something similar from me once in an age long past....
Without further ado....
I'll keep the terminal up while im vending btw to hide username
time to roll
first i shoudl say though, i am logged into a throwaway account with n0o market pass or money so we wont actually be buying anything. the bot will just make an alert pop up with what it thinks we should buy and we can go check how much money we would have made had we actually bought it (the normal version of the bot can of course actually buy the items but for demonstration purposes i modified it to just show alert
So it will pro
i may have broken it too since it seemed to stop refreshing there form some reason, anyways lets check this suggestion out
That would have been an easy 290k for us. buy for 200, sell for or 485 i guess
It's also going kinda slow because I'm behind a VPN
Well.... In a normal hour I'd say this bot makes around 20-30 mill with a full price list (around 2500 items when i run it for the usual number of pages) but some hours are better than others and once in a while you get a vend that makes you like 100 mill. yesterday i got a beyond blue for like 4 mill and sold it for like 49 mill.
So on average the bot probably makes like 50 mill an hour. The best buy it ever did was a devil's tail for 550m. made 250m in the blink of an eye on that one.
Maybe i should have done more pages. An alert wills top the script execution, right? lol
FINALLY so, 23m for ashen marionette.... let's see there's a handy 6m for us. that was the kind of vend i was hoping would pop up during the demo.
So as you can see, pretty sweet bot.
So when will it be released to the public? Never! Sorry. Probably won't be released for money either because i would have to port it to windows and make an installer and that would be a pain
Well that's all folks. This was just a tech demo, so no bot to release to you, sorry
I know a lot of vendors and I have been vending for a long time, and I know several vendors who use bots. I am led to believe that no bot available is as powerful as this one, because I don't think anyone else has successfully nailed the graph-reading part.
And that's really all
