AH History

Tracks your Auction House purchases and shows what you’ve bought before, right in the AH and in item tooltips.

AH History

Never wonder again what you bought at the Auction House. AH History records every purchase you make and adds a History tab to the Blizzard Auction House, plus a Previously bought view in the Buy tab that shows which of your usual items are listed right now.

Features

History tab

  • A new History tab next to Buy, Sell and Auctions
  • Every item appears only once: buying it again moves it to the top and increases its counter
  • Filter by character or show all characters of your account
  • Search by item name
  • Sidebar with item categories (like the Buy tab) and a time range filter (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, all time)
  • Click an item to search for it in the Buy tab, shift-click to link it in chat
  • Right-click to remove an item from the list, or clear the whole list

Previously bought (Buy tab)

  • A Previously bought entry at the top of the Buy tab categories
  • Shows all items you have bought before that are currently listed, with current prices
  • Subentries per character and per category, just like Blizzard's own categories
  • Available items are listed first

Buy tab search results

  • Items you have bought before are grouped at the top of your search results
  • Optional colored highlight for those rows, with a color picker

Tooltips

  • Every item tooltip shows how often you bought the item and the total quantity, e.g. AH: bought 12x, 2,400 total

Options

Open Esc > Options > AddOns > AH History or type /ahhistory options.

  • Show purchase counter in item tooltips
  • Maximum list entries (500 to 10,000, default 5,000)
  • Show category and time filters in the History tab
  • Show only the current character by default
  • Group previously bought items first in the Buy tab
  • Results to load for grouping (default 500, higher values can slow down the Auction House)
  • Highlight previously bought items, with color picker
  • Show categories under "Previously bought"

Purchase counters are kept permanently. Clearing or limiting the list never resets them.

Good to know

  • Purchases are recorded from the moment the addon is installed. There is no way to import older purchases.
  • Buyouts are tracked, regular bids are not.
  • AH History extends the Blizzard Auction House. If you use TradeSkillMaster, switch to the default Blizzard UI to see the History tab. Purchases made through TSM are still recorded.
  • Data is stored account-wide in WTF/Account/<ACCOUNT>/SavedVariables/AHHistory.lua and survives addon updates.

Commands

Command Description

Bug reports

Please open an issue on GitHub or leave a comment on CurseForge. If something in the Auction House does not work, the output of /ahhistory debug, /ahhistory tintcheck or /ahhistory catcheck (a screenshot of the chat is fine) helps a lot.
