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
As I know nothing about creating/coding addons, I have a couple things that I have found would be helpful but I'm not sure how difficult they would be to implement.
Splitting up the smart cancel option. Most of the time I want to cancel auctions that go under the threshold, so that when the other people's glyphs sell out we can start posting them back at a high price. ^_^
If possible, I'd love it if there was some functionality to allow using QA with multiple accounts. Such as, being able to add another toon to the list of 'your characters', which would give the green/red info for those toons as well.
Being able to rename or even copy a group's setting would be great.
I like leviathan1753's idea of auto craft queuing up. Maybe something where you set how many of each item you want to have total. When you do a scan it then will add what's currently posted on the AH and what you have in your inventory together. Then check that amount against what you set as the amount you want to have.
Again these are just ideas and I have no clue how easy or difficult they would be to implement.
Thank you very much for the time and effort put into this addon.
The error I am getting is: "Increased buy out price due to going below threshold."
If it was below the threshold it didn't put it up, which seems to be working correctly.
I am using auctionator, however, this happens whether or not auctionator is enabled or disabled. Additionally, it did this only a couple of times at first, and it's gotten progressively worse and now happens to all my glyphs.
I sell flasks with the following settings
Threshold price 29G99S99C
Fallback Price 99G
There are several auctions posted at 28G and below. Instead of ignoring this and moving on to my next item it lists a batch @ 99G. There are several others at a much lower price.
Do I have a setting wrong?
Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Since 3.3 when I minimize wow, this addon pauses... For instance, I hit "post" then minimize wow to read forums. The post pauses the instant I minimize, until i re-maxamize wow it stays paused.
Any ideas why it's behaving this way?

Greetings all,
I can confirm what was said on our US forums - this is indeed a known issue that is affecting several actions, including following and crafting. Unfortunately there isn't yet an ETA as to when this will be solved, but our developers are working on a solution that will be available as soon as possible.
Thanks for reporting the problem to us! :) """
Version 2.5.6
Attempted to address the compatibility problems between Auctionator and Quick Auctions.
..Hope it works..
Any ideas why it's behaving this way?
