Auctioneer Suite
Auctioneer Suite provides you with the tools and data necessary to make those difficult auctioning decisions with ease. From purchasing to posting, the Auctioneer Suite provides time-tested tools to allow you more time to actually play your characters or play the market. As you will soon discover, it is much more than a simple "Auctioning AddOn", the Auctioneer Suite also shows in-depth information for all game items, such as those used in quests or recipes, enchanting, milling, prospecting and more.
Numerous other AddOns will also use the Auctioneer statistics you gather via scanning. This is especially true for many of the popular crafting AddOns, such as Little Sparky's Workshop, GnomeWorks, and Skillet.
I have feedback! I have questions!
Come visit us in our slack channel that is linked at the top of https://auctioneeraddon.com .
Do you have alpha or beta versions I can use?
If you want the latest cutting edge features from our nightly builds, or even if you just want to get our stable builds a few days before we release them here, you can find them in the downloads section at https://auctioneeraddon.com/ . If you're a developer or otherwise adventurous, you can also find details there about our public git repos. And hey, why not consider joining our team?
What happened to your old forums and site?
We had a change in web hosting, and decided to use it as an opportunity to refactor and rebuild our tools and site, but it is a slow process for us since we also have to spend time maintaining the addon, especially around expansion times. We hope to have forums up and running again in the future. The wiki had been frozen for some time, but we may eventually try to revive it as well. Issues are now all being handled at GitLab.
Auctioneer Suite Details
The Auctioneer Suite contains Auctioneer, all of its modules, BeanCounter, Enchantrix and Enchantrix Barker, and Informant to help provide a comprehensive view of item data, whether at the Auction House or out questing. Some highlights are:
Appraiser
An intuitive auction posting frame.
Remembers your preferences for bid/buyout prices, stack sizes, and number of listings to post per item.
Allows queuing of auctions, so you can instruct it to list hundreds of auctions at a time. Note that Blizzard introduced a hardware event requirement to confirm each posting, but, with Appraiser's Batch Posting, you reduce the total clicks from two per auction, to one.
Allows you to specify the value price of your choice and remembers your selection
Displays competing listings, the age of the data, and allows you to sort these listings and refresh them easily.
Provides a scrollable list of all auctionable items in your bags; allowing you to quickly post all of your goods.
Provides a "Match Competition" setting which will automatically undercut your competition when posting auctions, within your parameters
Provides the ability to change to a "Simple" view; a bit like the Auctioneer Classic posting interface.
Allows you to change column width by Right-Clicking and dragging to the column width of your choice.
Allows you to post multiple auctions with the single click of the Batch Post button.
Alt+Left-Click == Refresh Pricing of all Batch Postable Items.
Shift+Left-Click == Trial or List Posting. Does not actually queue any items to post but prints the exact pricing that will be used on the Auction House in an easily readable format in the "chat window". This allows a user to verify their settings and make adjustments if necessary.
Ctrl+Shft+Alt+Left-Click == Queue all items that have the "Allow Batch Posting" checkbox selected (located at the top of the item information pane).
CompactUI
An alternative to the standard auction browsing interface.
Displays more auctions per page
Displays more data per auction
Allows you to change column width by Right-Clicking in the column heading and dragging left or right to resize the column to your liking
Provides a percentage comparison with the Market Value Statistic of your choice
Allows auctions to be color coded by price level
Allows multiple sorting options not available on the standard interface
Statistic Modules
There are a variety of fully customizable statistic modules included with Auctioneer that can provide a variety of pricing information- all based upon your needs.
"Market" - a custom designed formula that merges the various statistics into a usable price. This is the default setting and is highly recommended.
Auc-Stat-Histogram - Returns Median and IQR values, based upon a Histogram of pricing data. Essentially, a median value, based upon all prices ever seen; no data is ever discarded.
Auc-Stat-iLevel - Statistics modules that groups all items of same rarity, type, and iLevel together (e.g. all green weapons of iLevel 180). Useful for pricing random "of the ..." items.
Auc-Stat-Purchased - Statistics module that tries to infer purchase prices based on items disappearing before they could have expired. (Requires more frequent scanning of the AH)
Auc-Stat-Sales – Uses data from BeanCounter to display historical statistics on actual purchase and sale prices. Note that this statistic is installed along with BeanCounter, and cannot be installed separately.
Auc-Stat-Simple - Statistics module that performs simple averaging of data, converted daily to exponential moving averages of the orders 3, 7 and 14.
Auc-Stat-StdDev - Statistics module that keeps the last 100 price points for an item and performs a standard deviation on the data list to exclude outliers from the sample space and provide a normalized mean.
Auc-Stat-WOWEcon - Statistics module that uses the WOWEcon AddOn's data (if separately installed) to provide the price to other Auctioneer modules.
Any other stat module that you or others wish to create can be easily added to auctioneer functionality!
SearchUI
An Auctioneer Utility that prompts you when it sees auctions that fit your criteria for buying and, or, bidding.
Uses Searchers that you can customize for various desired deals such as:
Resale - Prompts you for deals based on discount from the market value, AH fee, and expected relistings
Disenchant - Prompts you for deals based on disenchanting armor and weapons
Prospecting - Prompts you for jewelcrafting deals from prospecting ores
Vendor - Prompts you for auctions listed below vendor sell price
The "RealTimeSearch" will continually reload the first and last page of the AH, within reason, as per your configuration, to find the newest bargains and auctions that are just about to come to an end. Both great times to find some amazing deals.
Piggybacks on your AH scans if allowed to do so
BeanCounter
An associated addon that tracks your bid, postings, and mail to help you determine your overall and item-specific profitability.
Creates journal entries when you bid, buy, post, or retrieve AH mail.
Provides a searchable interface that can display all activity or only certain items
Allows you to change column width by Left-Click and dragging the column to the size of your liking
Enchantrix
Enchantrix displays values for disenchanting, milling, and prospecting; plus suggested values for selling enchants. Enchantrix can also automate disenchanting, milling and prospecting. Some baseline pricing is built in, but Enchantrix also uses values from Auctioneer to provide up-to-date prices for your server/faction. Enchantrix also includes controls to let you customize the pricing by enchant material (fixed prices and weighting).
Informant
Informant displays additional information about items in their tooltips: buy price; sell price; item level; what quests, classes or professions use the item; the value of the item produced by a recipe; etc. Informant can also tell you what vendors sell a given item.
What Can Auctioneer Do to Help Me?
Once a user moves to the Auction House (AH) and beyond just buying and selling from/to vendors, the whole game changes. No longer is the user dealing with the static prices of the vendor to support their character's income. We are now dealing with the fluid and hectic nature of a dog-eat-dog market economy.
In such an economy, which is in a constant state of flux, it can be difficult to select the correct pricing points for your item at the AH. Sometimes, the prices and value of your items can be wildly different compared to the vendor price due to many factors, the value of items that can be made from your item, the use of a particular item in a quest, the suitability of a particular weapon or armor to specific classes, and the disenchantability of an item to enchanters.
Primarily, the driving factor of the price fluctuations, as in the real world is supply versus demand. When supply is high, but demand is low, competition drives the prices down, and conversely then supply is low, but demand is high, the market is driven into a sellers market.
The Auctioneer Suite can help you alleviate this lack of market knowledge over time by watching the market evolve.
When you go to the Auction House (AH) for the first time after installing Auctioneer, you will see a row of 3 buttons along the top of the main "Browse" frame, click the "play" button to begin your first scan of the entire AH. Auctioneer will begin recording statistics for every item it finds, including the bid, buyout, and more.
Once the market analysis has completed, you will notice additional information about the items in the tooltips when you mouse over them.
What happens when you go to sell items via the Auction House?
If auctioneer has enough data, when you try to put an auction up for sale, it will attempt to provide you with intelligent pricing points based upon the market data it has accumulated through scanning.
When you select an item in the full or simple "Appraiser" frame, Auctioneer will suggest a minimum price, a buyout price and display relevant data about it's decision making process in the right, receipt window, including how it has arrived at its prices.
When you place an item in the SimpleAuction, "Post" frame, Auctioneer will suggest a minimum bid, a buyout price, and display relevant data, including the deposit and more.
Happy Auctioneering!!

3.3.3
Folks,
Once again, there were some changes between what was on the PTR and what actually came down in the patch. Those issues have been addressed, and the beta is up for testing on our main site, at present. If you simply cannot wait, feel free to give that a go, via http://AuctioneerAddOn.Com/dl/#preview . If you find any issues with that, kindly post on the main site, http://Forums.Norganna.Org . Happy Sales, Nikk |

Fildot,
If you have Informant installed, then it will show in the main WoW AddOns Control Panel. Keep in mind that it contains information for every item in the game, so it is the size it needs to be. It should not have an impact on latency, though, and neither should Auctioneer, for that matter, unless you are actively scanning the AH. Regardless, if you do not have it, recommend you get the actual AddOn called "AddOn Control Panel", http://www.wowace.com/addons/acp/ , and simply make a couple of profiles. Then you can have only the very necessary AddOns load for raiding, questing, sitting at the AH, using one crafter or another, et cetera. Just keep in mind that you will need to reloadui after changing profiles, since WoW provides no way to unload an AddOn from memory, once it is running. Happy Sales, Nikk

Re: bug
ComplexxL9,
As noted on the "About" tab: Please, do not post errors here; instead, kindly visit http://forums.norganna.org/4/ , our Support Forum, and be sure to search before posting- many questions and errors reported are duplicates. Not to worry, though, what were you doing when you saw the issue and is it repeatable? We did have a report of a similar issue, though not exactly, but the person provided no further input. So, please let us know. Happy Sales, Nikk

Nice addon, but is there any way of removing that annoying "mouse-over-bar" that comes with the suite? Thank you.

Par,
All of the statistics, and the rest of the Suite, are plain text files, so if you want to adjust one or more, feel free to do so. As noted, we do what we can, but it is up to you to know your specific market, willingness for risk, expected return, et cetera. The in-game options allow for quite fine adjustments, but if they are not enough, you can edit the actual files themselves, as long as they are then used in accordance with the license noted in each AddOn/Module. The Outlier Filter, itself, is also configurable via the in-game options. Click "Configure" from the Browse or Appraiser frame, Filters, and then set Outlier as you prefer. The Sales Statistic, from BeanCounter data, reflects only auctions that you have sold/purchased. It comes along with BeanCounter and is configured from that AddOns "Configure" screen. Happy Sales, Nikk

Ok, here's to hoping your Outlier kills are accurate.
I don't see an easy way to set the price to only take into account auctions that I have personally participated in as a buyer or seller? Is there one? |

Par,
Once you scan for a while, the prices will become more and more accurate. In general, about once or twice per day for a week is recommended before you give any weight to the suggestions. Such things as trade goods tend to get better suggestions, faster, since there are more listings than, say, some piece of armor or a weapon that has been seen a couple times. Once established, we do what we can, via the 'Outlier Filter' to simply ignore those items that people post for outrageous prices. It is enabled by default. That, in combination with some behind the scenes things we do to help weed out outrageous prices within the actual Statistics Modules, is usually more than enough so that people who do what you suggest are just wasting their deposits or maybe catching a few folks with less sophisticated Auction House AddOns. You can also outright ignore postings by specific people using the "Basic Filter". For instance, there were some guilds that would make silly-named bank alts to sell their raid booty. Some thought it would be fun to post them for 400+% markups in hopes of catching Auctioneer users and, or, to show off. They did not realize that we automatically discarded their silly prices and offered the Basic Filter to blacklist them completely. After wasting tons of money on relistings, they finally understood. If you notice some name popping up with red-colored, crazily priced auctions, sometimes the Basic Filter is the way to go. You should only use it sparingly, though. Outlier will help discard most of their postings, but they could post something extremely rare, that you could miss. For items that you find the price is not dropping in line fast enough, simply enter the following at the chat/command line interface, where the <item_link> is the actual link to the item in question. Begin entering the command and then shift+left click the item or use Linkerator and whisper the link to yoursefl. /auc clear <item_link> Each server is pretty unique, so the pricing you see after scanning for a bit will be accurate. There is no magical, set price for any item other than what the vendor will pay. Otherwise, it is up to the market factors on your server. Often times the servers with the highest populations will be way over the price of small population servers, just because folks can list items for larger markups and someone will eventually come along who needs that darned Fel Iron Widget of Coolness. We have a separate, related AddOn and site, http://AuctioneerDB.Com that you can use to upload your server's data and compare with the other realms. It is based off of your Auctioneer data and actual sales/purchases. Be sure to read the documentation if you choose to go that route, http://wiki.norganna.org/AuctioneerDB . Once established, even scanning a couple days a week should be enough to keep your pricing updated. Most of all, remember that even though we go to great lengths to provide the best Market Price recommendations, they are just that. No tool can compensate for not knowing your market. Use the data shown in the tooltips by Auctioneer and the rest of the Suite as a guide to help price your items or decide to buy/bid on the offerings of other folks. No matter what is recommended, if you need that overpriced, extremely rare Silly Putty Gasket for your Ultimate Engineering Contraption, you will likely pay what is asked no matter the markup. For more, our main forums and Wiki are great resources. Not sure why you were unsuccessful when reviewing the information, but the Search function on http://Forums.Norganna.Org returns a number of related discussions, try http://forums.norganna.org/search/ and look for overpriced, Outlier, et cetera. Additionally, our wiki at http://Wiki.Norganna.Org contains some helpful information, especially the FAQ. Happy Auctioneering, Nikk

After reading your forums a fair amount I still haven't figured out a way to reliable track what items sell for - i.e. the ups and downs of the REAL market price - as opposed to what arbitrary numbers are generated by people who deliberately and continuously put up very overpriced auctions and then cancel them.
I'm sure this isn't an issue on large-population servers that don't encourage overpriced auctions - but on small-pop servers where you don't take a snapshot every day - it's a bit of an issue when Auctioneer's so-called "Market Price" is about 400% of what an item is regularly selling for. Got a link where a fix to this issue is discussed? |

ChaosInc,
Well, that is the reason for the "highlight" section, since some of the changes only a few would really care about - or maybe no one. They may not all be good, but they are surely sexy! Actually, had planned to get the next release out, but there is a bit of testing to go, so this was just an update to the "About" section for the time being. Should have another out fairly soon, though. Nikk

Nonameform,
You need to activate the Auc-Util-FixAH module. The "error" is caused by Blizzard mis-naming their own function, that module corrects the issue until they either change it or make it "official". Once enabled, you may then see some issue being reported from somewhere via the script notifier. From what is there, all that is happening is that the scandata is being loaded, which happens whenever you first mouse-over an item, since Auctioneer is then supplying the information you are requesting. Anyway, see if there are any notifications after you enable that module. Without a statistic module loaded, Auctioneer may have issues - but that should not impede moving items in your bag(s). In fact, that is likely what is trying to be communicated to you when you see that. If there is another Lua error, simply paste in the full error, including the AddOn list - you would be amazed at the amount of times that provides the reason why an issue is occurring. Happy Sales, Nikk
