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

But how do i post stacks right :S? I want to post frostweave cloths in stacks of 20. I dont want my addon to post it cheaper then 8g/stack so i put threshold to 8g. But since some ppl only post 1 frostweave on the ah for lets say 50 silver, my addon wont post my stack just because this guy posted 1 frostweave :S..

Is there a way around this?
The threshold is for one item. Which means if you set it to 40s it should work as you want.

I receive the same error. Tried on 3 different glyph toons, all got the same error. It isn't fatal, posting seems to continue as normal.

I'm getting the same error. It seems to be hit or miss on whether it actually posts what it queues to post. Sometimes it will queue a bunch of stuff and only post 1 of each (when my cap is 5), or it will post only some of one item, or it will post none. I updated to the latest version and its still happening, dunno what else to do.

I have a two feature requests:
  1. Can you implement an option to post auctions at the threshold instead of the fallback price when auto fallback is enabled?
  2. Can you implement an ignore list for recipes in the summary window? I understand that from a speed point of view, scanning the whole category is much faster than each single item, but as it is right now I don't have a way to ignore twink enchants or a subset of gems that just doesn't sell on my realm.

Thanks, keep up the good work.

Not sure if this got asked already, I don't feel like browsing through 700 comments ... Why does it scan an auction for undercuts when I enabled "Disable cancelling" (you got a typo BTW, it's canceling and not cancelling)?

Example: There are 19 pages of Infinite Dust on the Auction House and it goes through all 19 pages even though it doesn't cancel them anyway once it's done scanning ...

It's not a typo, just a difference between American and British English.

Suggestion: make the addon ignore the maximum price gap setting if the item is already posted at its fallback value.

Thanks for this awesome addon!

QA Queue

Is there a way to buy the reagents at the vendor in QA queue? Like, clicking the reagent on the queue and automatically buying them?

Hi Shadowed

1/
In Manage.lua, there is a typo :
Replace "Aucitons:Print" by "Auctions:Print".

2/
Could you name the frame created for the first line in tradeskill frame ?
With a macro and "/click name-of-first-line-of-qa-tradeskill-frame", we can just sit in front of a mailbox, and strike a key on the keyboard. Or you can add a function to create a macro for that, enabled only when the tradeskill lframe is shown and populated.

3/
i second a function to autobuy reagents in vendor :
if vendor window is opened + tradeskill frame is opened,
a click on a reagent line (bottom of the craft lines) try to buy this reagent or why not all reagents.

Have a good day !

Auctioneer data grows too fast

Hello!

First of all, thanks for this great addon!

I'm selling glyphs and I have the following problem using auctioneer +qa2.

When I do "cancel"-"post" cycles my auctioneer's db grows with duplicated (I think so) items. Every single glyph scan adds to db. And the real problem is that when db grows to 80000 items instead of usual ~30000, scans get really slow, especially the first scan after logging in with any one of the characters.

I'm not really sure if it's QA or auctioneer, so I'm asking about it on both sites.
Am I the only one with growing db? It's always the same for me:
Auctioneer finished scanning 4 auctions over 0 secs :
42902 items in DB at start (0 matched query), 42906 at end
3 new items
1 filtered items

While not a solution you can delete the auc-scandata.lua file to reset things.
