Automatically Undercut Auctions with Quick Auctions
Posted on 2010 under WoW Gold Tips | No Comment4 Aug
Another addon has been developed by fellow gold making guru Zerotorescue, the developer of the awesome Mail Opener Addon.
This addon is a tweek to the Quick Auctions interface, it’ll add a toggle check mark beside the post button, what this does is make quick auctions continuously try to repost auctions.
Instantly Undercut Competitors
Quick auctions will only post auctions if you’ve been undercut or have no current stock up and the price is above your threshold, well if you had a continuous loop of trying to post auctions that would mean when you go for your next posting cycle and you have been undercut quick auctions will then undercut that lowest auction by the amount you set in the config.
Here’s the description Zero wrote on his addon page:
“This addon is a plugin for Quick Auctions that adds a checkbox to the auction house posting frame with which you can toggle continuous scanning and posting of Quick Auctions. It saves you the effort of hitting the post button whenever a scan has finished. Sadly because this Quick Auctions button doesn’t have a name and it’s function is private, this action can’t be macroed but this addon manages to obtain the correct button and simulates a click on it.”
The addon is called: Quick Auctions Poster <— here’s the curse download link.
Things to Keep in Mind
1. This addon was developed with blizzards API, so it is consistent with the terms of use and should not get you banned. However I would think there is some risk involved in using this so please beware… I will be trying this out though and I’ll let you know if I get action against my account.
2. Given the nature of how this works, QA only checks the posts of items you currently have in your inventory so it’d be hard to use this with glyphs. I could see using this with the most popular glyphs then just leaving the toggle on and you’ll remain the lowest price until it goes below your threshold.
3. If you plan on using this addon for certain items make sure that you change your quantity to post. For example I usually post 4 of each glyph, but if I ran this set up it’d try to post 4 of the same glyph everytime I was undercut. I think you’d want to set this to post only 1 of each auction if you plan to leave this on autopilot and make sure that you have sufficient quantity in your bags.
In my honest opinion I’d give this addon a few days before trying out or monitor it’s use while testing it.. Zero’s other addon the Mail Opener one I mentioned above had a lot of players saying “oh this is against the rules you’ll get banned!” because it opens all your mail for you which should require a click.. but the addon has been out for a couple months now with thousands of downloads and no complaints of bans from its use.
