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
Re-read what u wrote, then..... go back to the addon and re-read the help file, also, re-read all the instructions and tooltips from mousing-over the features in QA. It did exactly what u told it to.
and would this be against the rules?
the reson Im asking is that someone is undercutting me all the time... if I post and then click post again he have already undercutted me... and post again and he is still there...
If I go away for an hour or so and come back its the same deal...
so ether he is sitting and reposting constantly or has some sort of autopost
Piece of trash addon, and waste of my time.

But of course, it's the addon's fault that you're doin' it wrong, amirite?
You have the check box marked that says to round to the nearest gold. This addon is not intended for people with a low I.Q.
i noticed that when the fallback option is on the settings act in a certain way and when it is off the options affect posting in a completely different way. i would like it to post 2 of every glyph i have in a certain group witch i can achieve with fallback on and setting fallback to the same price as my threshold value however i also want it to post the glyphs at 20g if there are no other glyphs on the market, each one seems to be obtainable individually however both can not work at the same time.
might i suggest adding another input slot for one or the other. ty
The default Auction tab is replaced by the qa Auction tab, and the Cancel button is always grayed out.
I have to unload the addon to view my postings and be able to select them in order for the Cancel button to work.
I am not talking about canceling postings that have been undercut.
I have seen the keybind for a cancel button, but there is nowhere for me to click in order for the keybind to cancel the posting.
Since maybe 310 of these are glyphs, is there any way to use the same kind of scan as in the summary page for canceling? That is, just scanning the AH category "Glyphs" instead of each auction one by one. If there isn't, then consider this a feature request :)
And let me end with: Thanks a lot for this great addon :)
p.s. if you could add an option to sort the groups alphabetically, it would sure help locate newly created groups.

How do you copy over the Saved Variables from Quick Auctions to another computer?
I copied my entire "Interface" and "WTF" folders onto my laptop; but when I log onto the game, none of my saved Item Groups are there.

I too am struggling to find out why my item groups are empty when I copy my Interface and WTF folders over... All my other addons are fine. Any help on this?

Thanks for this great app, Shadowed! I've been using it for over a year now and it's my favorite by far! I've tried to copy my item groups from one computer to another on two different accounts with no luck. Today I bought an upgrade to Curse Premium thinking that would work, but alas - no luck. Because I have over 200 item groups saved, I would greatly appreciate any advice (if this is in fact possible).
Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas!
"Post cap - How many of an item can be up at any one time (If you are undercut this number is reset)"
This is KILLING me. I have a flask setup in QA that I only want 4 stacks up for. I just checked it and I now have 15 out there! The deposit costs are eating up most of my profit (all of it for my JC). I never noticed this before because enchanter scrolls, of course, have no deposit, so my post cap was always maxed. Worse, this is making it difficult for me to know what I have to craft. I can no longer be certain I have 'x' items (the ones up for auction right now) plus what's in my bag...I could have 4 times x plus what's in my bag.
I realize some people like to cancel auctions when they're undercut, but for many items the deposit is so high that this is unrealistic. For those of us who rarely bother with cancellations could you possibly add an option or setting that changes the behavior of the post cap? Something that will let us use the post cap as a hard limit regardless of if we're undercut.
Thanks for considering the request and, of course, for writing the excellent add-on.
