What is it?
Have you ever accidentally sold something, only to find out too late that you have, and that there's no way to get it back? Have you worried about this and stressed out a bit too much whilst selling things, just to be absolutely sure you don't sell your valuables? Have you triple-checked the things you're destroying just to make sure that you're not destroying a valuable whilst cleaning out your bags? If this sounds like you, then this mod is for you.
How does it work?
Essentially, you can build a list of items that you want protected by Vault, and then, when you go to a vendor, if you accidentally sell an item, it'll buy it back for you right away, tell you that it did, and play a sound to warn you that you're not paying attention to what you're selling. If you try to destroy an item that's in your Vault, then Vault will stop you from doing so.
Usage:
The elements of Vault are split up into modules. This is so that you can pick and choose the parts that you want and only those parts. You can enable/disable modules via the addons menu at the character select screen, or if you prefer, you could just remove the folders entirely. Pick and mix, use what you want, the choice is yours.
In this section, I'll go through the various modules that vault has, and what they do.
-- AntiDestroy Module
This module stops you from destroy items in your vault. If you drag an item outside your bag and it's in your vault, then vault will automatically clear your cursor and warn you, thus keeping your valuable items safe. This only affects items in your vault, so to keep what you want safe, simply add it to your vault and never worry about accidentally destroying your best items ever again!
-- AntiSell Module
This module checks what you're selling to vendors. If you try to sell an item that's in your vault to a vendor, then it will automatically be bought back for you. Even if an addon tries to sell all greys, this module will ensure that any item that's in your vault remains in your bags, and not with teh vendor. So to protect your items, just add them to your vault list, and never worry whilst selling at a vendor again!
-- Slash Command Module
The commands for this are as follows:
/vault [Item Link] - adds or removes an item from the vault as a toggle.
/vault check [Item Link] - checks whether the item is already in the vault or not.
/vault wipe - removes all your current character's items from the vault.
/vault restore - restores your vault from its last backup state.
/vault help - brings up a printout with this information.
Not supplying an item link works the same as the latter option, there. It just gives the player a help printout.
-- DataBroker Module
To add or remove an item, drag the item to the DataBroker plugin and click on it to to do so. It acts as a toggle, so to remove the item you do the same thing. To remove the item from your cursor when you're done, press esc or right-click (same as the default UI).
The DataBroker plugin has a tooltip which contains a list of all the items already in your vault, so just mouseover it to find out what you have in your vault. And finally, this module also has features pertaining to the database: If you wish to clear the database, hold alt, then click the plugin. If you wish to restore your database from a backup, hold alt and shift, then click the button.
-- Blizz Options Module
To access this, head into the Interface options panel and click the AddOns tab. Scroll down in the left panel until you see Vault and click on it there.
You are presented with three elements.
The first of which allows you to add an item. There's a button present where, if you drag an item to it and click on it, it'll add that item to the vault. You can dismiss the icon from your cursor with either esc or right-click (same as the default UI).
The next element is a list of items in your vault - this will show up as blank if there are none. To remove an item from your vault, just click one of the item names in this vault. The list should update immediately to reflect this.
Finally, the last two elements pertain to database control. The first button will allow you to empty your current character's vault, and the second button will allow you to restore your vault from its last backed up state.
-- Tooltip Module
This adds 'Vault Protected' to your item tooltip where the item is in the vault. So, if you have an item in the vault, and you mouseover an item, right below the item name you'll see 'Vault Protected,' if the item is not in the vault, then that text will not be there.
I have also taken this opportunity to make the tooltips a little easier to read by putting a blank line under the title in both instances. If this is something that people don't like, I'll remove it. I actually find it makes the tooltips easier to skim though, but maybe that's just me subjectively.
-- Other Modules
I don't have any others at this moment in time, and with the Blizz Options, DataBroker, Tooltip, and the Slash Command modules, I think I've covered all the bases. I'm very open to suggestions, however, and if you'd like to see a new module coded, then poke me, and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks To:
I'd like to offer my thanks to everyone in the comments section, here. It's been a long road for Vault with a lot of experimentation. I'll keep trying to make it better, and hopefully without so many bugs.
But the users of my mod have been polite, patient, and just really stand up people. I appreciate that.
Caveats/Issues:
None currently known.

Possible to have locked items get a special glow around the item?

The thing is is that I just don't trust myself to do this well. I'm already spotting things that I want to clean up in Vault and there'll be a new version up soon. But that? That would likely cause Vault to explode to massive sizes.
Can we even add glow without causing taint any more? Okay, how about this: Show me a mod, any mod, which allows you to add a glow to an item in a customised way for any reason, and I'll take a look. I just need to understand how it works better than I do. I have an idea, but I'd rather see what the 'official' way for doing it is. |

Okay, if I may have your attention for a moment for a decision?
I want some opinions on the implementation. Would you prefer it as it currently is, holding the key and moving the item to add/remove it to/from the list, or would you rather do it another way? The alternative I have is that I could use a /vault slash command and shift-clicked item refs. So you type /vault and then you hit shift-click to send the item to the chat frame and that'll toggle the item in/out of the vault. Or you could do /vault check and shift-cliick and that'll check the presence of the item. One more option that is actually only slightly more involved, but definitely doable, is a DataBroker plugin. I could set it up so that dragging an item and dropping it on the plugin actually adds/removes items, and then the item list would be in the DataBroker tooltip. (The latter version may sound involved but it isn't at all, really. So don't worry about that. It's just some OnMouseUp and GetCursorInfo shenanigans.) I may evolve Vault a bit, but I want it to be as useful to everyone who uses it as it is to me. Of these versions, which do you prefer? Vagrants need votes!

Maybe separate the LDB option into its own addon? (so its an option) And i prefer the /command actually i keep have to come back whenever i need to use it because i forget the command /vault <link> is just faster and more intuitive imo |

If you've used 006, please update to 007 as soon as possible and don't change the database at all. There was a small bug in 006. If you have run into it, just clear your database (there is functionality for this in Vault - Bond Version, 007).
Anyway, if you're curious of the nature of the bug, check the ChangeLog. Unfortunately I was getting item names instead of item IDs when I switched things around for the slash command. D'oh. And I didn't notice because I already had plenty in my vault and didn't think to try clearing it. Double d'oh. But that's all fixed now. And I have some nifty new functionality in there. This is probably the closest Vault is going to get to being perfect. Now I'm going to go have a little lie down. |

There's something... weird happening at the moment. I use another addon (VendorMaster) to automatically sell all grey items, and since today, Vault buys them right back! The same with every item regardless of rarity I try to sell manually. I disabled VendorMaster and the behaviour continues. With Vault disabled, I can sell and auto-sell everything as usual.

Yep, I found it.
I was playing WoW with a friend last night. "Hrmn. I can't seem to sell this recipe I don't need." "That's weird." "See if you can sell it." "I can't! Let's see if I can sell... anything... else... oh fffff..." "Eh?" "There's something up with Vault." That was a rather hilarious moment and it took a very quick hotfix being done. That hotfix, however, stood an entire night of testing. So... I'll get that uploaded. |

Yeah, it was about the same here.
"Okay, I got some grey items form the fishing daily again, but I know they will be sold automatica... wait, why are my bags still full? What is this Reptile Egg doing there again? Why can't I sell it? It keeps coming back, ohmygod, it haunts me! *flail*" Thanks for the quick fix, I've already become attached to this addon - hey, it prevents me from selling my RP stuff |
