Quick Auctions
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)
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
I can't seem to get the tradeskill queue to work. First of all in the summary window the "show craft queue" button doesn't work, nor does the display of crosses to show whether or not I'm able to make a certain item. Both annoying but easy to work around, real problem is that nothing actually gets added to the queue. Left mouse-click or the old method neither work. I even tried it on a clean WoW install with QA being the only installed addon.
Any solutions to this problem?
I just installed QA2 (patch 3.2.2), and found that there is now a nearly opaque (~5% transparent) window covering my third tab wow standard pending Auctions window. So I can no longer click the Auctions tab and see what I have listed, and whether any of it has bids or not. I don't see a way to disable this in /qa config.
It's clearly QA2 causing the problem, when I log out and disable QA2 and log back in, the problem is gone. Log out, reneable QA2, problem is back.
Here is a screenshot of the Auctions pending window w/ QA2 disabled:

Not sure if this is intended or not, but I don't see any other way to get the quick overview of my current auctions - time remaining, bids, pending buyouts, etc. - that the standard wow Auctions window provides at a glance.
igors' mass auctions doesnt split stacks neither can post more than 18 items and it takes too much time when u have 1500 glyphs
auctioneer is just awefull cant do nothing automatically and error after 3-4 auctions
quick auction is probly the simpest and best for this
there is a problem however
if some1 has a glyph for less than what i have set as limit threshold lets say 14g then the addon auto skips the item unless i set the threshold to less so i can undecut him
I DONT WANT TO UNDERCUT HIM i just want to put the darn item for 14g dont care if some idiot sell stuff for 2g
so the problem is that half the glyphs in my bags are skipped
for the love of christ can u add an option to ignore scanning and just post the things?
i cant just manually add the rest
What's wrong with it? I have the latest version.
I have 2 things as mentioned earlier it would be nice to have the craft list automatically restock like you say i always want to have 10 glyphs of each and the craft list will see you have 4 in the bags and 4 in the AH so 2 will be added to the craft queue.
The other thing is something I see as a problem, for example there is a glyph selling well for 40g and suddenly someone undercuts it 2-3 glyphs he is selling for 10g. Sure Quick Auctions does the job and undercut it but basically the price will never go up again it will just continue to go down even more.
would it be possible to add option to hide all items which were scanned and were below certain price to make crafting queue easier?
-in my case im using QA mostly for Glyphs.
Ie I have all pala mage and hunter glyphs to one banker and all the rest going to 2 other bankers you see?
Noticed that you're not planning on adding more features, but decided to request this anyway.
Filling the craft queue by clicking works nice. However, it would be cool to have a way (like ctrl+click) to fill the items queue to match post cap, while taking my auctions and inventory into account.
For example, cap is 10, I got 4 in AH and 2 in inventory, set items craft queue to 4.
and no you dont need auctioneer for QA2 to work
The question I have is I can't get the craft queue to work, possibly because I'm using Skillet and not the vanilla Blizzard window?
What I did was use the "Get Data" to grab glyph info, then looked to see which glyphs were selling for a high price that day. I left-clicked on the ones I want to queue and saw (for example) a "1xGlyph of Frost Strike". After going through the list and clicking on the button to show the craft queue nothing happens. If I open Skillet, nothing is queued up. I don't mind disabling Skillet for this character if that's the problem, but I thought I'd post in case I'm missing something simple or maybe there is a small bug somewhere.
Thanks for this great addon!
