How to transfer a RARE name

[myScytheIsOP]

Edit: does the 404 error happen often? What causes it?

I was after a sexy 2 letter name and i didnt get it. RIP. but i got this 404 error.
I was using this AHK script:

`::backspace
1::
Mouseclick
return
2::
Mousemove, -230, 55, 0, Rel
return
3::
Mouseclick
return
----------------
and submitting about 1 request per second while the seller was changing his name twice. Has this been known to happen before?

 

Edit: does the 404 error happen often? What causes it?

not sure of meaning, but EVERY name I move gets that error. ofc it still moves securely and gets on acc.

I thought that I might have submitted too many requests and that caused an error. That's what the seller told me.

 

~~ Pros and Cons of this method ~~​

Pros​

1. This method is, in my opinion, the fastest when performed correctly. It takes some timing, but if you know what you're doing, it is difficult to snipe a name when someone is transferring this way.
   
2. This doesn't require any communication. you simply do it when you're ready on your terms.

Cons​

1. Should the seller attempt to scam you and recover the name, yes names CAN be recovered, this makes it much easier on them. JaGeX will see your IP listed on the account at the time, and if prompted to, will sometimes return the name to the original account it was on.
   
2. If you time it wrong and prematurely click Yes, it will say the name is unavailable, wasting precious seconds to retype the name in and redo the process to claim the name. This happens if you do it instantly after clicking confirm. I advise to speak with someone very experienced before attempting this, otherwise you might cost yourself a name.

Lost a few rare names due to: Con 2.) Happens to the best of us sometimes I guess on-wards and upwards.

Name changes via OSRS is now a viable option; whether or not you would like to add that option to your thread, I am not sure. Just trying to help.

Beautiful thread, by the way. Well thought out.
