When I was fighting on TP copper by copper with someone then I noticed that he was canceling first then bidding, plus time when he was outbidding me was in similar intervals and human wouldn’t cancel and bid that fast.
Don’t attribute everything to bots. There are thousands of traders at any moment, and if you personally can see a trade being cancelled and resent then another person can easily cancel and relist in the same time.
The most satisfying thing you can do is to start outbidding by large amounts and find out where the bot’s price ceiling is… and then bid for 1c below that amount.
You have to be quick to spot when the bot goes away, though. :p

I often do that so the bot has to pay the max amount of gold. Sometimes, i even create a new lowest listing wall, so once he collects his items, he will lose gold, if he underbids me. Next day, the bot is usually gone.

You can tell that there is a bot on something, when it auto-buys your 1c cheaper stacks in the second you click on [SELL]. And goes on long. Last time I saw it was at Mithril Ores.

I think its fair to say that there a NO bots buying mithril ore. That market is so huge that you propably have buyers every second. people who craft lvl 80 rare weapons buy mithril in thousands.

This is a very legal bot. You can see these in items which have a good margin, and the bot will upkeep a quantity of 2 to 4 items on bid until a certain limit. Good candidates are yellow insignias, Mage’s Spineguard (yellow) and other items of that margin range.
The bot uses the TP API which allows bidding and canceling, but not money collecting (e.g. the “Take” button from the TP). Hence, the player is doing CoF while his bot in the meanwhile checks the highest bid-price of the monitored items, cancels and rebids periodically. This is done as long as there is a money pool to work with for the next bid. After CoF, the bot-running player goes to the TP and presses the “Take” button to get the items and recycled money pool. How do I know this? I have an app. Do I use my app to do demand roboting? No. But that’s just me.
Write an app yourself, or fight the bot copper-by-copper while its runner is enjoying the game.
