The series, or did you rent a pay per view?

I've been itching to see some of that ppv action lately.

One of my mules got banned for botting... gonk I wouldn't even know HOW to bot crying
FAIL. gonk

Hopefully you can get it straightened out and figure out what happened. sad heart
As far as I know, they scan for bots by looking for high refresh rates, but even if you were (which you said you weren't) just refreshing a lot on some page, it shouldn't even be possible to refresh as often as a bot would. confused I don't know how they managed to confuse it unless somebody reported you for it...which, again, I don't know how they would confirm such a report in the absense of any reason to do so.
Just lame all around...

Well, The Ultimate Fighter rules in general, but Spike's started showing some best of matches I think, I'm just gettting into it after a short stint a few years ago, they're focusing on Royce Gracie tonight, it's pretty bad a**.

Oh, AND TEACH ME WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE VEND! What am I supposed to be buying and selling? I wants me a chain wallet again. crying
Shouj is way better at it than I am... But for starters, just figure out average prices for all the donation items. If you're starting with limited cash, figure it out for just the lower-end ones to start with. Also keep an eye out for some of the more popular commons and try to snag any you can that are under 70-75% of shop price. Similarly, if you see one donation item come up that's priced well under the going rate for that item, snag it. Then sell for profit.

If you need to raise a lot of money quickly to get some funds for larger items, I'd say buy low and sell...low-but-not-as-low. Still keep close to the low-end of the prices on the Market so you can move stock quickly and get more gold to buy with. After all, if you're doing the vend thing, the last thing you want is to see a really excellent deal but have no money to grab it because all your gold is invested in items that aren't moving out of your shop quickly enough.

Build up from there. Donation items are the big thing; some, like pajamas and Zony/whatevers don't tend to go very quickly, whereas low-end popular items like the CN scarves are probably a better sale if you can get them for a good price.

You can also check the Exchange for people willing to sell low, then move to the Vend to sell them to the instant-gratification types who're willing to pay a bit more.

That's one of two big reasons why I'm not a very good Vend whore. sweatdrop

It's definitely not a quick/easy get-rich scheme. It takes a lot of time and a lot of luck in being at the right place at the right time.

I always clicked view or the forum name to refresh the list, I dont think they can ban you for that.

Golds is good.

Honestly, if you're patient, it doesn't matter if you start off with almost nothing. You won't necessarily roll up the gold quickly, but if you start with buying low-priced commons you can still work up a pretty good profit. I've found that buying at 70-75% and selling at about 85-90% still moves stock fairly quickly and you've got some decent earning potential to start off, at least until you get the funds to move to bigger items.

They really shouldn't be able to ban somebody for refreshing the page... Unless I'm missing something huge, there's no rules against that, as long as you're doing it manually.
But, hearing about it happening more often is a bit scary.

I click on the "view" button too, for the most part. But I'm generally not that fast about it, since I tend to lose interest. sweatdrop

whee heart

Of course, actually doing it is the hard part.
It doesn't take too long to get used to the prices so that you know what's a good deal and what isn't just by looking, but there's enough competition that it's still a lot of fast mousework to snag those good ones.
