I did this same thing but via a google sheet, really fun either how excellent the wiki’s API is. The profit per hour shown here is abysmal - you’d make more money doing pretty much anything.

I’d like to see market-level and category-level analysis on price trends (ie all magic-combat gear is trending up, or this specific item has a lagging relationship with another).

If anyone is curious, prices may be out of date but here is my profitability spreadsheet, time inputs, etc for various things using the api. This is better than the wiki since it can take into account trade limits, compare unlisted methods, hourly upkeep costs, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1iekEqInA2PwEuj1W...

You can tell likely from the methods I’m botting - turns out writing bots is even more fun than actually playing. Too bad private servers are being taken down through legal means, as I can bot there without ethical concerns.

Keep in mind that the actual profit if the bot were not randomly choosing between each model version would be about 600k/hour. You're conflating the experimental profit, wherein each model only has access to 1/3 of the potential trades, to what the profit would be if only the best model were making trades.

Also these bots have been running for over a year almost every day without being banned.

Wait why is botting okay if it's on a private server? You mean the other players are okay with it?
