I'm not sure where to go with this. On one hand, it's a nifty feature to have. On the other hand, this is starting to resemble feature creep. SellJunk is supposed to be a tiny addon, not a do-it-all type thing.

So do I implement it or not? I'd like to get some more feedback from some of the people using it. Would having a dependency on one additional addon (ItemPrice-1.0) cause you to stop using SellJunk? Would having the amount of gold made display in chat make you more likely to use/keep using SellJunk?
The mod "Sell O Matic" does exactly what your mod does, and it also prints to general chat the amount obtained by the selling of all items. I don't believe there is a database involved. However, since SellOMatic doesn't involve Ace, I'm sure this mod isn't as small and resource friendly as yours most likely is. I would prefer to use an Ace mod.

I would encourage you to download SellOMatic and stroll through the code. Sadly, I can't quite pinpoint what the author is doing, but it does look like he's tapping into some commands which might already be inherent to the LUA code.
