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

Ah, I see. I suppose what you're saying makes sense, but I feel like canceling an auction with a bid on it makes me a bit of an ass. I suppose I can set the bidpercent to 100% so I don't have to worry about it. Hopefully I'm not picking nits, I really like the addon, I guess I just need to change my habits. Thanks!

Yep works great since my inscription guy is only 56 so nice to tell what glyphs I can and cannot make at a glance.

Did you get the version from today? I pushed a fix for that about 20 minutes before your comment.

This is one of the best wow mods I've ever used. I love it so much that I want to donate for the author, but I don't see any donation option, please add it!

Here are my questions/comments after using it a little more:

1. It is possible to set the Bid price and Buy Out price differently? Right now the Bid and BO is the same and I can't find the option to set it.

2. Is there a way to set threshold for particular type of gems? Say threshold for all Monarch topaz? Right now if I want a rare gems to not fall below the general price for all gems, I have to set it individually, which is not a big deal but it is nice to have the option.

3. If there is someone who post a gem for 7g with no bid, and another auction of exact type of gem at 40g BO, QA will undercut both by setting the starting bid of 6g and BO at 39g. This is a problem because people will more likely to bid and not to BO, thus when I get UC, QA will not cancel the bid items, causing minor problem.

4. Add donation option .

Thank you again,

nampal: Thanks for the comments

1) You can't set a specific bid price, but you can set it as a percentage of the buyout with /qa bidpercent 1-100 <type/link> so /qa bidpercent 70 will set all bids to 70% of the buyout price.

2) There isn't, it's something I would like to add but theres no good way to figure out what the cut game came from without having a database of it which I'd rather avoid.

3) Items without a buyout shouldn't be added/undercut I'll look into it

4) Have a Paypal account at [email protected] but I don't like adding them into mod descriptions

1133 posting at 0g bid only, not sure how but I had a few different glyphs posting at 0g and I reset my threshold and the same thing happens. Reloaded UI same thing. Logged in another toon still shows 0g but couldn't bid said something about there was already a higher bid but was still at 0g.

Never seen anything like this before

Are you sure your bidpercent isn't set to 0?

What are the auctions being posted at for buyout, and is anyone on your white list posting when the items post at 0g bid?

Nobody on my whitelist who posts glyphs, it set no buyout just a bid at 0g. I thought it may have been smart undercutting and dropping from under 1g to 0g but it was turned off my undercut is set to 1c also these were posting while my threshold was set at 49s. The only other change was I upgraded to the later Auctioneer, I checked the AH searching by lowest price and I was the only one posting a bid at 0g. I don't think 0g bid is even be allowed. The only reason I found this is on the chat when QA says your buyout and who undercut it I way my price at 0g.

Still getting some posting at 0g bid only, from what I can see these have the lowest current buyout below 1g but above my threshold of 49s. Turned Auctioneer off but was no help.

Vidboy: Push from yesterday should fix this.


Also note that next push I'm trying a new way of doing posting, instead of all items up being considered towards the post cap it will consider only the lowest items, what this means is if you have:

5 x Glyph of Judgement posted at 10g
Someone else has 2 x Glyph of Judgement posted at 9g

You are considered to have 0 Glyph of Judgements on the Auction House, however if it looked like

5 x Glyph of Judgement posted at 10g
Someone else has 2 x Glyph of Judgement posted at 9g
2 x Glyph of Judgement posted at 8g

It says you have 2, so if your post cap is 3 it will post 3 more.

The downside to this is it's slightly slower if you're posting a lot of items all at post cap as it has to scan them all instead of ignoring them straight off, but it means that (Specifically for Glyphs really) you can just do another post instead of having to first cancel then post more.

Thanks for all your work,

For me I usually don't hold glyphs in my bags, they are either in the AH or mailbox waiting to be reposted. the reason for this is every day I have over 200 different glyphs in the AH and not enough bag space to hold 1 or more of each. I have a good idea what sells so I could do a top 50 or 100 based off my beancounter sales results ( the only reason I still keep Auctioneer)

I did try playing with super mode timings but still can't seems to get it dialed in right but will keep playing with it, no problems with the posting but can't quite get the canceling down.

Did have a problem with /qa sumall I get an error, I'll retry with 1152

Another request, not sure if people would want it but I think it would help. Check your PM
