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
Anyway, thanks and looking forward to the update. In the meantime, would it be possible to post the version or a link to the version where the caps worked?
I'm also having the same post cap issue described by a few others below. I often am running back and forth from my mailbox posting several batches, and it seems to post a few with each batch, although it doesn't correspond with the post cap (for example, it will post 5 inks in the first batch, then 4 inks in the second batch, 4 in the third batch, etc. My threshhold is 5.)
For now I'm reverting back to a previous version. Hope this info helps, looking forward to the update =D
On the Summary window, after doing a scan, why not include your threshold price after the lowest current buyout, think would make the summary tool a lot more powerful. :D
Reading the code looks like that enabling the smart undercut will work too but I don't get the logic here...
Skipped [Glyph of Lay on Hands] lowest buyout is 3g 61s 26c threshold is 3g
Why is it doing this? I'd like to just post the item at 3g.
One thing you might do is try enabling smart undercutting, which rounds your price to the nearest gold when undercutting. Keep in mind though, that it will do this for all of your other auctions as well.
Another option would be to put all of these "problem" glyphs into their own category and lower your Undercut By amount.
Unfortunately these are just work arounds; I don't know of any way to do what you're asking, aside from going to something more beefy like Auctioneer (QA is really just an undercut machine =)
Skipped [Glyph of Lay on Hands] lowest buyout is 3g 61s 26c threshold is 3g
Why is it doing this? I'd like to just post the item at 3g.
BUT PLEASE, read this suggestion:
A lot of 'dumb' people post items at a really low price.
For instance, you post a Glyph for 35g... then some people posts the same glyph below your threshold, something like... 1g... What I'd like quick auctions to do is to allow me an option to buy all glyphs that are below my threshold, then I'll be able to have a little more control of the prices (avoid these dumbs). It is possible to do this with other addons, but it's still a repeatable task.
Right now quick auctions says:
Lowest buyout is 97s94c, threshold is 3g50s
I'm getting a lot of these messages... :(
That's why I really need this.
Add a new button: "BUY ALL ITEMS BELOW THRESHOLD"

Just FYI, I really liked that MMO CHAMPION has released that post, so that I don't get a lot of idiots throwing low prices into the auctions.
This is just a suggestion, if you don't like it, just shut fuck up. Assuming things you don't know and saying that others are retards makes you the worst one.
I'm not saying that I want to buy all existent glyphs, I just want to buy those ones that are below the cost price of crating a glyph (which is 3g50s).
Just updated to the new version, and I was trying to run the Status feature, and I get this error:

Any ideas?
has of today i also started having problems with the post cap, crucial feature on my strategies,cant set 2 for example, the mouse wont slide it anymore, so it jumps straight to 6 or more.
hope a fix can be sorted soon
thx for the great job
