Im using:

Requests Limit: 5 Delay Between Requests: 100 Item Delay: 2000

Scanning for - 5 Items

Been trying for like 3 weeks, with 0 buys. What the hell am i doing wrong? :D Got 31 Euro that i put the max price on, even added ak redline at 1 euro below max price to try. And have not bought anything.

Any tips on what i should bot to make small profits or whatever, i dont mind aslong as i make a little. I mean 3 weeks? come on :p

Really thankfull for all the help i can get.

Im sitting on Fiber Optic internet, 100mb / 100mb Only user, and 0 downtime. If that helps.

try testing with 0.03$ item to see if bot can buy, or if u have cookies problem, also do the scans happen normal? like ever 2-3 sec? maybe sometimes it lags and scans once every 10 sec?

Thats how my scan times look, i will try with a 0.03 item will post an update soon mate. Thanks alot for getting back to me. :)

Okay so i added a Phoenix weapon case for 0.03 and put buy quantity to 1

Ended up with this:

I login in using:

Sessionid webtradeeligibility steamlogin

Im not using: Since i dont know where to find them.

steamMachineAuth steamLoginSecure

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

thats the problem, if u dont have these 2, u DONT buy, u get the "problem purchasing error" i had it too. try using firefox to find these cookies, i had same problem, and 1 more guy, we both found it on firefox. also steamMachineAuth has random numbers behind it. like steamMachineAuth79123 thats what u want.

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

Aaah, i will get right on that. Well that was a 3 week waste :p

Thanks alot for helping out, got one final question you'll probably dont want to answer but it's worth a try!

Is there anything in particular i can scan for, that will give me many, but small profits?

Im currently going with 3-4 Hightier knives and 1x low ak redline.

Thanks again! <3

By the way, should i search for Newly Listed, or Item Page?

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

newly listed is better if item is popular, example new case, everybody opens, everybody sells. for slower items like knives its better to item page, however difference is newly listed can look infinite items because it scans 1 page (the newly listed) when if u put too many item pages u get errors because of many requests.

God damnit, installed firefox logged in etc. Fixed all cookies, and still getting errors.

No idea why, tried with different delays since it was a case for 0.03.

:/

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

if u installed firefox right now, its still tradeblocked for a week, u need to find cookies from browser where u are not tradeblocked.

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

Ah, so can i use chrome cookies for everything except the:

steamMachineAuth steamLoginSecure

Or that wont work maybe?

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

also, my chrome just now showed the cookies u were missing, maybe you can try like 3-4 times to open steamcommunity and maybe they show. sometimes they dont show, sometimes they do. if u install new browser its tradeblocked for 1 week (new device thing)

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

Doesnt say anything when im browsing market about trade block, maybe beacuse i used steam authenticator?

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

so on firefox u dont have tradeblock?

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

u can use cookies from whatever browser u DONT have market block

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

Im going to try and buy a case from market on firefox hang on!

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

Yeah i can buy from firefox : )

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

so the cookies should be correct, try using all 5 from firefox?

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

Yeah that's what im doing atm, wont work tho :s Will try to relog the scmbot, hang on :)

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

Redid everything, and still giving me errors. No idea wtf's going on. :/

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

me neither man. sorry :/ ask @Maxx53 he might know more

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

I added the case to " item page tab " And it gave me an error: Item is not supported in html

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

yes, items listed as commodities for steam market (keys cases etc) dont work as HTML, u need to go to option and scan JSON if u want cases, but if u scan JSON, u cant look for knives etc.

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

you either scan HTML for items (not cases not keys), or u scan JSON for ONLY keys/cases no skins

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi

Ah maybe i should turn of html, and try if it works to buy a case. Maybe thats why it gives me an error. :)

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

hmm.

SneakySphynx avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 SneakySphynx

mtzi avatar Aug 10 '15 12:08 mtzi
