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

My keyboard macro is set to a 1.7 sec. delay for the craft queue and I never make extras. Great time to go have a shower while QA craft 400 glyphs.
What macro do you use for the craft queue?

Awesome

v2 is amazing. Thanks for your work on it, the far improved speeds, and active bug fixes/support.

Threw a couple bucks your way. I hope others are doing the same. It automates an incredibly tedious task that nets huge returns. Auctioneer just can't compete when you're dealing in a single, fast-moving markets.

Thanks again, and I hope you keep it up.

Yup - having the same issue here - noticed it with listing gems this morning:



I just cancelled all my auctions, relisted. Funny thing is - it listed the ones at the top - undercutting my competition properly. Went to the mailbox, got more stuff out to list, it them listed more Bold Scarlet Rubies at my fallback price.

Hope this helps.

Having an issue with this latest version.. QA is posting glyphs at my fallback price when other glyphs of the same type are already on the AH, and it will also not match my current lowest price if I already have items on the AH to begin with, resulting in mass cancels because I'm undercutting myself.

typo errors in the config gui for 'Bid Percent' help tooltip: "will be set t," should be "will be set at," and "the buyout will be 90g" should be "the bid will be 90g".

Don't click it so fast, if you're automating it through a script set the delay higher Even if I add a craft next item in queue function it has the same issue the craft queue has in general.

Hey thanks Shadowed for the example code on how to access variables etc from a button etc.

On a separate note you know what would be a really easy function to add?

/qa craftNextItemInQueue

Something that you can add to a macro and keep pressing to craft everything that's in Q.

I know the Queue is prone to crafting duplicate (extra) items if you click too fast before it can refresh how many you have created so far. So why not just make the craftNextItemInQueue function only pop out a single item.

Say you queued 6 runed scarlet rubies. Using the craftNext function only makes one and doesn't attempt to make anymore?

It's the craft queue that is stored between characters so make the Craft queue-list @ your bank alt then log your crafter and open profession and press the QA-button.

Now something weird is going on and my craft queue is empty even when I try to add stuff to it on my crafting character.

Re: Undercutting issue

About the undercutting issue: I've found that setting the bid value at 90% of the buyout value works perfectly. It didn't undercut properly when I had the bid value at 100% of the buyout value.

Hope this helps, and thanks again for an awesome addon. Well done.
Yup this workaround worked like a charm. Thanks guys..and hope this helps you nail down the issue shadowed..thanks again for a great app.
