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.

- Added /qa cancelall #g#s%c - cancels all auctions without a buyout below the entered amount (thanks Dezzimal)

- Sped up scanning again, instead of delaying 0.50, 1.32, 1.98 seconds each time a scan fails to return data QA will soft retry and check for data every 0.10 second until 4 seconds total have elapsed. Should result in faster initial scans, but have little impact after that
- Fixed some auctions taking far too long to scan like gems when using summary

- If a split failure occurs, items will no longer be queued for splitting, fixes issues if split failure occurs and you try and repost
- Moved split queue reset to split starting to fix any remaining bugs
- Increased timeout on splitting to 20 seconds, as it's possible space will be freed up during the split queue due to changes in how posting works
- Reduced throttle on bag updates to 0.10s, might slightly speed up splitting, might not
- Localization update
- Wheeeeeeeeeeee
- Oops! Logic is hard
- Added debug code to scanning so I don't have to keep adding it back when I test things
- Another change to be sure it doesn't show the players name as being undercut
- Fixed width bug with general category for options
- Updated description texts to indicate prices are per item, not total
Optional Files - Quick Auctions 3
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Great Addon, it is a big helper in getting rid of the crap (and all the other nice things i want to sell^^)
But since i am crafting on several toons (Horde and Alliance) it would be great to wipe the known recipe list.
Now i have to remember each item and know if i can craft it with that toon or not.
A simple button to wipe the list of that type would be perfect.
Basically, instead of scanning the entire bag and retrying every item, just retry those items that haven't been tried since the last full post.
This is especially useful if you are posting a lot of stuff (and many of them do not get posted because of item limit/cost threshold) and have to make multiple trips to the bank/mailbox, and doing a full post everything is extremely slow.
Just need to keep a map of the items posted so far, and don't retry items in the map doing a "post". Any items tried will be put into the map, regardless of whether it was actually posted.
When doing a "full post", clear the map then call "post".
When doing an "incremental post", just call "post".
For all the previous bugs i got, maybe i found something : it seem to happen far more often when i got rituals of the new moon in my bag (for sale with QA3).
I suppose it's because under the same name, there's 4 differents items.
I play in FRfr, the item name is "rituels de la nouvelle lune" (i don't know if that can be relevant, but just in case).
A bug with the canceling auctions, it doesn't seem to cancel items with ' in their name when there is something lower priced. Example of this is "Merlin's Robe" and Bejeweled Wizard's Bracers".
Another bug : sometimes, QA3 see i'm undercuted, and i got room to put another auction under competition, so it cancel my auction. But it not repost it, sometimes even if there's no other auction up.
It don't append for all items, only some (and some of them worked perfectly for weeks, with no bugs).
It seem the more i put items in QA3's list, the more i got bugs (i got hundreds of item in the list, now).
Another bug : sometimes the mail function of QA3 send items to the bad alt. When i open it with the bad alt, it send it to the good one. Not a big deal, but it make me log on and off to find where it send my mats. It only appen when i have a lot of things to send to a lot of alts.
I got a little, but annoying bug : sometimes, if i delete a group, it is still active. I try to recreate it, and delete it again, but nothing append : it's still active.
I've googled to see if QA3 keeps track of what sold, but it looks like it doesn't. Can anyone recommend an addon that tracks what sold? I disabled 'beancounter' from Auctioneer as it seemed to be hanging my client when I had 200+ items in my mailbox.
edit: I should note that I love QA3 - I now use it for all my auctioning hence the need to track sales.
I would like to second the plea for an option to undercut exact stacks (ex. only consider stacks of 5, etc.) and have a minimum amount (ex. if there is one guy posting 1 stack of 5 for a ridiculous price, I would like to ignore him and keep posting as his one stack won't matter).
Also, I'm encountering an issue where it will stay "queued for posting x". And I wait but it doesn't post; it just sits there saying queued. This is with plenty of bagspace and deposit money, so I can't figure out what the problem is. I've been able to get around this by reloading my UI before, but for some reason reloading UI doesn't get rid of the inaction now.

Originally posted by luxluna I kind of dislike the way it overwrites the auctions tab (at least when using auctioneer as well).
Is there any way to see auctions that have been bought that I haven't been paid for yet? (you know, the ones that are usually at the top of your auctions list in the default interface)? I've been logging out to disable QA3 then checking to make sure I have more of those scrolls in my bags then having to relog to reenable it... a huge pain.
This confuses me as I just hit the log button and I can see the default auctions list. So you're saying that doesn't work for you?

Also I've noticed that you need to always hit the price ( when entering fallback or threshhold) and then enter to save information... clicking the okay button doesn't necessarily save it.
Does not work as there is no option for undercutting STACKS as opposed to single items. Having made a group for herbs I sit there and smash my face into the keyboard seeing it deny to post anything because there is ONE single herb that is priced at 1g and treshold is > 1g (since I post in stacks).
Is there any way around this? This would help me so much when I farm
Originally posted by zoktar lo, awsome addon!, i was wondering if its possible to sort by something, in summery. for example death knight glyphs, they seem to be sorted at random. they are atleast not in the same order as on my other comp with my other account. is it possible to add sorting ?. cheers.
edit: found a temporary solution, i run get data at the same time and they get listed the same way.
