The button which shows progress and if pressed, aborts the scan. Note the auction UI is disabled during a scan to prevent manual searches confusing it, so this must be pressed if you need to use the AH before the scan finishes.

Description

Warning  NOTE: This addon won't be developed any further. Please consider taking a look at AuctionStats for an auction addon that is under active development with feature additions.


This addon is designed to allow you to scan the auction house. The results of the scan are then stored and will be visible when viewing item tooltips. It also shows item stack counts when selling items on the auction house.

The scan is now pretty fast (a couple of seconds at most) after changing how it works slightly (only 1 timer call, and stopped the auction interface from seeing and trying to render the results).

Some of the code was heavily inspired by CommodityStats also, so many thanks to the author, Boe2.

Usage instructions:

  1. Open the auction house by visiting a relevant NPC;
  2. Press the "Scan Auctions" button which should appear at the top left of the window;
  3. Wait for the scan to complete (this takes a few seconds).
  4. View the tooltip of an auctionable item, it should now include the cheapest buyout cost where known.

Future development plans:

None. If you require more features from an auction addon than this addon provides, please consider looking at AuctionStats.
