Quick Auctions 3  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v3.1
by: Shadowed [More]

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)

Donations
A lot of time went into Quick Auctions, donations are appreciated but not necessary. And it's cheaper than buying gold while not being against the ToS!



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.

Shadowed:
- Fix positioning of tradeskill frame
- Fixes for 4.3
- Fix tradeskill button positioning
- Should make canceling work again with hardware events
- Make open all work again, add posting back with necessary hardware event work, some initial work on canceling
- Initial conversions to WoWAce, nothing should actually work yet

You shouldn't really cancel items just because you're undercut... give it enough time and someone might buy all the lower ones and then buy yours. It isn't free to create an auction... it's best to just let it play out it's time... if it comes back to you in the mail you lose the deposit just the same.

Still interested, though. I'd like to see some screenshots and stuff. Auctioneer is just too complicated nowadays... it'd be handy having something that just threw stuff in the AH without being too complicated but instead highly intuitive.

If you don't want it to cancel an auction that you have been undercut on, don't do scan of posted items. The reason it cancels them is because you can set a cap so it will only keep X of that item up at a time, so if you set it to keep 2 Runed Scarlet Ruby's up and you get undercut, it won't try and post another 2 (providing you have 2 in your inventory) until those 2 that were posted are canceled.

The reason there are no screenshots is because there is no real GUI, it has two buttons for auction management, and the rest is configuration through slash commands.

Neon from IRC here.

Trying to post 10 delicate scarlet rubies while having glyphs that are under the threshold in my inventory at the same time, results in the addon only posting 1 of the gems and then freezing the addon without any error messages (The "Post Items" button gets stuck greyed out at 9/10.)

"[6351.591] Finished scan for Glyph of Sunder Armor has bad owners? nil retries 0 total/shown 16 16 scan type post", -- [2611]
"[6351.594] Item queue Delicate Scarlet Ruby only stacks to 1 so posting it now.", -- [2612]
"[6351.594] Going to post Delicate Scarlet Ruby at buyout/bid 92g 97s data says owner is Luciver with posted at 92g 99s", -- [2613]
"[6351.598] Posted bag 0 slot 16 in the AH for 2880 at 92g 97s 92g 97s", -- [2614]
"[6352.155] Done posting current set.", -- [2615]
"[6352.155] Was going to queue set, but the post list is empty.", -- [2616]


Also, it would be nice if it was possible to set a fallback depending on gem/uncut/glyph, since glyphs that are defaulted to 100g won't sell, while gems will.

Edit: In addition to being able to set thresholds for individual items that is.

Another smart thing to do (feature request) would be to allow configuration of minbid % of buyout, because of how the default AH UI sorts items, it will sort stuff with a higher buyout first if the bid is lower. Ie, a glyph at 20g BO 20g bid will be listed below a glyph with 25g BO, 15g bid.

I'll look at the bid thing, stuff.

If you can replicate it, try adding a

self:Log("Queued for auction in bag", bag, "slot", slot)

at line #610 below the table.inserts into auctionPostQueue, not sure why that would be happen.

Will see about the ability to set defaults based on type as well.

This would be nice as I sell glyphs and meta gems and am posting over 300 items a day (100+ different items).

Thx

This is what I get when doing "Post Items" with a few stacks of glyphs below the threshold and 4 delicate scarlet rubies (also happens when I don't have any glyphs, and only cut gems in my bags).

"[41876.947] Done posting current set.", -- [20]
"[41876.947] Was going to queue set, but the post list is empty.", -- [21]
},


Btw, I don't know if this somehow breaks something, but I changed line 568 and 577 from:

minBid = buyout

to

minBid = buyout * 0.7

Could this change be the reason why it's bugging with gems for me? If it is the reason I apologize for wasting your time, I didn't think it could be the reason when I posted this "bug report" earlier.

I can't think of a reason why it would cause issues, try replacing the last Log with

self:Log("Queued for auction in bag", bag, "slot", slot, "capping at", postCap, "total posted", totalPosted, "active auctions", (activeAuctions[name] or 0))

At the time of that, you said you had 4 in your inventory at the time of that? Not really sure why it's not working, looks fine to me and can't imagine whats causing problems.

Yes, I had 4 in my inv, but I've tried it with any number between 1 and 10, and all it does if I have 1 is posting it, then the "Post Items" button gets stuck greyed out.

Also, if I have a few of the gems in my inv, as well as glyphs, it will post glyphs until it gets to the gems, post 1 gem, then continue with the rest of the glyphs, and when everything (except the remaining gems) are posted, the addon gets stuck as usual.

Doesn't matter if the only thing I have in my inv is gems either.

I've been getting the problem where posting stalls as well. Only been using it for glyphs and sometimes it will put 1 or 2 up and stop. If I can figure out which one it stalled on and post them manually it will sometimes fix it and continue posting. I'll pay more attention to it and see if I can give you any new information.

Edit: Ok it seems to be behaving with the gylphs but almost never posts gems probably. As described it will post 1 gem then stop. If I then post the remaining gems manually then the addon says posting complete even though it didn't do it.

The issue where it stalls should be fixed, it was due to uniqueID info in the item string, which is why you only saw it happen on things that don't stack.

Also, bid percent, as well as being able to set things by item type, instead of having to do it either globally or per item and such are in next push.

Seems a bug was introduced into the new version. If someone on my white list has undercut me the addon will not cancel my auctions. In the last version it would have canceled my auctions then reposted them at the same price as the persons on the white list.

Odd, I haven't changed the cancel logic for undercutting, can't think of a reason why it would be doing that. But I'll look into it nevertheless.
