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 have a problem setting the "Override post cap" to a specific number, let's say 2, because the slider is from 1 to 1000 and doesn't allow exact numbers (just 1,5,10, and so on). Maybe implement a "single scrolling" with the mousewheel like in some other Addons.
Thanks
Please adjust, but great AddOn otherwise. Saves me so much time when posting. Thank you!!! ^_^
I have a banker toon, scibe toon and enchanting toon. The bank toon does all the scanning posting, etc. when I do a summary for glyphs they show up on my scribe toon, but when I do a summary for enchant the items I check do not go over to my enchanting toon. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a trick to get them to show up?
Second, Can you put an option in that allows a minimum amount of items to remain in inventory? Besides final products I also sell mats, but I would like to keep a minimum in my inventory. Same goes for consumables like flasks, to avoid the risk of finding myself in a raid without. Character specific groups would also help with this, so those consumables will only be sold by one specific char.
Third, A "post anyway" option would also be nice, so when competition goes below threshold price, QA just undercuts the first competitor above the threshold. More often then not it's just one or two items being sold below the minimum anyway, so they'll go sooner or later.
Last, I noticed many times that I was the only one posting a certain item, yet the price was still close to the threshold instead of fallback. Competition had left, so the auction could just as well be canceled to relist at fallback price. It would be nice if the Cancel function would also check if the sale price could be increased again.
Cheers!
Quick Auctions 2 does not include the gem: "Guardian's Dreadstone", in german "Schreckensstein des Wächters".
Seems to be a bug?
Perhaps there was no such gem in the auction house and you're not able to craft it yourself neither?
When cancelling/posting, every new entry in the log moves the list to the last entry. Is it possible to change the list's behaviour so that I can scroll freely during scanning without the list being moved to the bottom all the time?
I was trying to get Quick Auctions 2 to post a stack of Saronite Bar (x20) per auction.
I listed the Threshold price at 20g.
I tried to make 'Items per auction' list as 20. But it's impossible since you can only scroll the number, so far I made it to list 26.
Fallback price at 29g. 100% fallback after.100% bid percent.
Post cap is 1 due to making sure.
Ok, on the AH. A stack of saronite bar is usually worth 30g+. One saronite bar is around 1g and 20s.
Right. I tried to click 'Post'. It won't post exactly because of one saronite bar. It says "Skipped [Saronite Bar] lowest buyout is 1g 60 s threshold is 20g" when in fact I was trying to post a stack of Saronite Bar (x20)
So, I changed the Threshold price to something like 50s.
Now, QA successfully posted a stack of Saronite Bar (x20) BUT
the price is so wrong, as it lists the buyout price as 13g!
13g compared to 30g? Did I put 17g (30 - 13) in the 'undercut by' thing?
No.
I looked at the Auction House. My 20x saronite bar auction is below a different auction by someone else; 9 saronite bars for 14g.
So, unless I did something wrong, this addon is horrible for sellers who try to sell stacks of herbs, ores, bars, etc.
Shadowed, way to be misleading!
To new players who are visiting this page, DON'T USE THIS ADDON! It's only good for glyphs. If you're looking for an addon that effectively posts herbs, ores, bars, etc. This is not the addon for you!
