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

Hrm odd, I got that issue but nothing to in the excesses of 600+ it'd just go over 2-3.

Log wouldn't help, need to sleep first but I'll look at it in the morning.

Vidboy, try grabbing the QuickAuctions.lua from http://shadowed-wow.googlecode.com/s...QuickAuctions/ scans will be slower but I think it'll make them more reliable (After all you save more time not having to rescan/cancel/run/repost)

Canceling works better now I can see how many are being canceled. Scanning still doesn't like to play with Auctioneer, still posted at fallback with lots of other posts besides my own, this doesn't happen all the time but on occasion.

QA scanned over 200 different glyphs and canceled 300+/600+ auctions and Auctioneer was still scanning (bar & chat spam) after QA was done and I typed this out and picked up 2 full mail deliveries (98 glyphs). Auctioneer just records way too much data to keep up with QA but I hate to have to unload Auctioneer as 1107 worked well with it but I'd really miss the summary.

Here is an example of the chat spam from Auctioneer I get after every search call from QA:

AucAdv finished scanning 19 auctions over 19 secs:
54504 items in DB at start (0 matched query):54523 at end
19 new items

Hope this helps

I'll see about talking to someone that deals with Auctioneer to see if theres an easy solution, but in the mean time try this.

Open QuickAuctions.lua

Find

local scanDelay = 0.50

Replace with

local scanDelay = 1.0

Or even 1.5 or 2.0, that should increase it to the r1107 delay in scanning so that it'll wait 1 second before scanning for data (and thus, 1 second before sending the next query)

will changing the local scanDelay = change the speed of the summary "get data" as well?

tried 1.5 didn't help much Auctioneer kept scanning well after QA was done and I picked up my mail.

Yes, it uses the same scanning code regardless if it's a summary scan or posting/canceling.

Maybe if I had a smaller DB for Auctioneer it would help speed things up since I've been using it forever. If you use Auctioneer what version you running?

Actually, are you noticing that summary seems to be more reliable in listing all items? The scans are lower, but I'm not seeing some items missing from summary like I was before, guess it might have been scanning too fast.

1.5 didn't take properly the first try, doing it again and watching the screen change and the AucAdv bar and it look like I could go to 1.0.

1.0 worked good and could even cut it down a bit more, I'll test more later tonight. I do get a big lag spot right at the start of scanning whole screen locks up for a couple seconds but at 1.0 AucAdv is able to catch up to QA.

You have to reload for the change to take effect. I'll probably keep it at 1.0 for now I think.

Ok, I have been using 1117. Seems to be working pretty well for me with all other AH add-ons off.
A couple things so far,


I had 1 pigment up for 14g
someone else had one up for 79g
my cap was set at 3 and it undercut the 79g (putting up 2 at 78g ea)

Sometimes the count-up on scan will stop before completion (just as if it had completed) Only happened a couple times.

Auctions are still going up for 12hrs no matter what you set it to.

I'll just change the auction time to let you set it by link/type/all like I originally planned, which should fix any issues.

The mechanics of posting/canceling will be changed to work like this:

If it's going to post a Runed Scarlet Ruby, you already have some on the Auction House for 20g and somebody else (Who isn't on your white list) has some up for 50g, it'll match your ones up for 20g.
If it's going to cancel a Runed Scarlet Ruby, which you have up for 20g and your fallback is 100g and nobody else has any on the auction house then it will cancel it so you can relist it at the higher price.

OK an odd behavior with 1116.

I hit the post auctions button and the counter (the Scan auctions button) starts counting up and never stops. It's now at 536/73 auctions for example and continues. I tried disabling other auctions and deleted my .lua file and reset up the addon's settings. Still doing the same.

Odd thing is it just started doing this. Was working fine then died. Not that it matters was was posting enchantments and enchanting mats.

If i switch to the Browse window, it looks like the addon is repeatadly scanning two auctions I don't have any posted of (But need to)
