Quick Auctions 3  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v3.1
by: Shadowed [More]

Quick Auctions is an auction tool to help speed up auctioning large quantities of items, especially canceling. While primarily Quick Auctions is built for large quantities of items, it can work fine for a few auctions as well. A bit of tweaking is required to get optimal settings, but it is very flexible and smart enough that you can use it for more than just mindlessly undercutting auctions by 1 copper every time. Summary window and craft queues are included so you do not have to memorize every item and quantity you need. Shows total materials required to craft as well as allowing you to click from the craft queue to craft so no searching through everything.

Slash command: /qa (/quickauctions)

Donations
A lot of time went into Quick Auctions, donations are appreciated but not necessary. And it's cheaper than buying gold while not being against the ToS!



Groups
Groups are how you manage what items should be managed by Quick Auctions. You can set auction settings either as a default, or per group giving you flexibility over everything without having to duplicate your settings 50 times. There are no limits to how many items can be grouped, see the configuration in /qa config to set them up.

Mail
Includes a timer in the top left of the mailbox indicating how much time before new mail data becomes available, and if you are not using Postal then QA provides its own auto looting for mail. The auto looter will work with the timer on the mailbox cache so it will loot everything, wait until new mail is available and then keep looting.

Auto mailing can now be done per item or per group to any character you want. For example, you can setup your banker to send uncut gems to your jeweler and you can setup your jeweler to send cut gems to your banker. The auto mailer is intelligent in when it sends mail off, and works best when using QA mail looter. If you are trying to loot herbs from your mailbox while auto mailing them to your scribe, it will send mail off whenever it sees your inventory is full. Basically, if you have 4 open slots it will auto mail/loot with only 4 slots, no more clearing out your bags to loot mail anymore!

General options

  • Smart undercutting - Instead of always using the undercut value, it will round it to the nearest gold piece if possible (10g99s -> 10g, 5g -> 5g - undercut price)
  • Smart cancel - Cancels auctions a bit smarter than usual, will cancel an item if you can re list it at a higher price and won't cancel it if items are below the threshold
  • Cancel with bid - Lets you choose if you want to cancel auctions with bids on them

Item options
  • Auto mail - Automatically mail items directly to your banker that are managed by QA
  • Post cap - How many of an item can be up at any one time (If you are undercut this number is reset)
  • Post time - How long to post an auction
  • Undercut - How much to undercut by
  • Bid percent - How much bid should be set to as a percentage of buyout
  • Threshold - Cap on how low an auction can go, if it'll be posted below the threshold price it won't be posted
  • Per auction - How many items to post per an auction
  • Fallback - If no other auctions are up, how much should it list an item for
  • Fallback cap - How high above the fallback an item can go, helps prevent posting a single Frostweave Cloth at 100g if someone sets it at an extraordinary price
  • Auto fallback - If the market price is below your thresold, QA will automatically post it at the fallback price
  • Maximum price gap - How much of a price difference is allowed between the lowest and second lowest items before QA undercuts the second lowest, this will also cancel your auctions if the price gap gets too high
  • Ignore stacks over - Allows you to ignore any auctions with a stack above X when determining price, useful if you want to post against the market price of 1 Abyss Crystal rather than the market price of posting 20 at once
What changed between 2 and 3?
While the configuration in QA2 was an improvement over the original QA, it still wasn't good enough. QA3 has a rewritten configuration and should be much easier for people to understand and use without having to learn to use QA through trial and error.

Scan speed has been increased quite a bit again and has been tightened up to reduce the chance of conflicts. In previous versions, QA would Query -> Wait 0.50 seconds -> Check Data -> Either parse it or wait 0.50 seconds, this made sure that whenever auctions were scanned all data was available including who posted them. The problem is, most of this data becomes available instantly after your initial 1-3 seconds. In 3 it's been changed: Query -> Check Data -> Wait 0.50 Seconds -> Parse or wait 0.50 seconds. Best case this means you will save 0.50 seconds per query (50 seconds/100 items), and worse case you won't see any speed increase.

Mail has been improved to make life easier for people, both a mail scrapper and a smarter mail sender were added. See the mail section above for more information.

Setting scope was improved, most basic options in QA including group settings have been moved to the global profile while server/faction specific settings can still be changed per profile. Letting you setup different profiles of how QA should handle different groups, without having to duplicate all of your group list over and over.
QA3 isn't done yet, and I have more planned still like summary improvements and easy buying of items.

Shadowed:
- Fix positioning of tradeskill frame
- Fixes for 4.3
- Fix tradeskill button positioning
- Should make canceling work again with hardware events
- Make open all work again, add posting back with necessary hardware event work, some initial work on canceling
- Initial conversions to WoWAce, nothing should actually work yet

Hi Shadowed,

Thx for this addon !

Could you pls make possible an overriding for group banker ?

With more than 250 glyphs (*2 or 3...), cancelling from AH, retrieving from mail, storing in bank (because no such place in inventory...) is time consuming.

If we can send items to a banker defined in group config, we can split large bunch of items like glyphs to 2 ou 3 bankers, and minimize AH/Mail, Mail/Bank, Bank/AH courses.

Thx for your time !

It's something I was thinking of, but it's a bit complicated because I can't just simply send everything to X then and I have to make it try and group all items by who they are being sent too, etc, etc. I'll see about getting it done, but it's not a priority.

Posting Stacks

First, Great MOD!

Only been using for a few days but I have a question now.

I want to post stacks of items, such as leather stacks, ore, herbs, enchanting mats and things like that.

I set the items per auction to 20 and when I click post, it says skipping <item> because the threshold is set for a stack and it trys to post just one.

Any thoughts?

If this is so then I need to know how to have it save the new post cap!

If I edit the number and then close the window it isn't saved so I'm doing something wrong.

Love this mod, and I recognize and appreciate the work you have invested in it. I do have a request I feel would be a definite improvement.
In ver 20091005 the "status" report tells me the lowest buyout price on the AH, and how many I have posted. The essential piece of information it lacks, however, is what is my threshold price? Lacking this complicates evaluating whether I want to buyout a competitor.

If that were included, (even in the tooltip) I could make "buy" decisions on the spot based on the info presented in the summary. As it currently is, however, I must flip to the group/config to see what my threshold is, because I simply cannot remember all my threshold prices. That would also be wonderful info to have in the "summary" as well, even if it's just in the tooltip. Could you possibly incorporate this into a future build? Thank you for your consideration

Note, I am not going to push a new version of QA quite yet as I have other things I want to do first. However, you can fix the post cap bug by getting http://github.com/Shadowed/QuickAuctions/tree/master for the time being

having a shopping list as a BS

Hi!

I have greatly enjoyed this addon and it does make using the AH a breeze.

The sad thing is that I'm a not an alchemist or a herbalist so QA "shopping list" for tradeskill window doesn't help me. This means I have to go through the summary AND all my groups to find out what items are all sold out and I should make more of them.

Have I missed such an option or do I need to implement that by myself?

I was planning on adding BS to the summary window where herbalism, enchanting and glyphs already are or just coloring qa config group names to red if I don't have any items on sale matching that group.

The problem with blacksmithing is there isn't an easy categorization of items, my understanding is that it's pretty much all over the place but I can't really just scan every single armor piece and toss it into the summary. If you have a suggestion I'm more then willing to listen though.

tradeskill with enchant scroll

Hi Shadowed.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this to be added so soon. Thanks and thanks to Cybnext.

Either I'm a bit dim, which could be the case, or it's still behaving like it used to. I left click the scroll in the "enchant scrolls" summary window and there is still nothing in the tradeskill window.

Am I missing something?
Cheers

I think all you need to do is while scanning your items in auctions during POST first you color all item group names in config red. If while scanning you find an item in AH or you post a new one you color that group name green.

I mean during POST you are accessing both item groups and items in AH. I'm trying to make this work by myself but this LUA aint exactly Java...

That should provide a simple visible crafting list what group of items you are missing

Tried the latest version and the "status" option is pretty nice.

Still what I'm missing from it is the item groups that you don't have in your inventory or in AH.

Lets say I got 100 item groups and I do the status scan.

It compares the 15 items I have in my inventory against my item groups and what is in AH against my item groups and tells me the status of those 15 items plus those items in AH.

At the end of the scan it does not tell me what item groups are not present in my inventory or the AH and I have to go through them manually every time to figure out what to manufacture.

I think it's trivial to know if some1 is undercutting you or not. You can just cancel/post every 2 hours. What is costing you huge sums is if you don't have everything for sale that you could have.
