AuctionBuddy is a small fast auction house addon using Blizzard artstyle.
It is intended to be an improvement from the vanilla auction house. It's main features are:
Fast Search:
- AuctionBuddy scans the items from your bags and puts them on a list inside the User Interface so you can search any by just left clicking on them.
Search History:
- Previous searches are stored into an easily accessible list.
Favorite Lists System:
- Similar to the previous category, you will be able to save (and then remove) specific searches, either by introducing manually the name of them or by right-clicking any item from your bag items list.
- Also you will be able to create delete and rename multiple favorite lists.
Smart Sell:
A related list to the one from Fast Search be shown in the Sell window, where you will be able to sell any item from your bags by left clicking on that list. It will as well set the price per item equal to the lowest posted in that moment.
Other Actions:
- All windows are draggable.
- Double left click to insta buy.
- Multiple search filters.
- UI Scaling.
- Auto-complete input search text.
This is my first addon, it's still in development and will be evolving continuously but if you like it please leave your feedback in the comments!
Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your report.
Do you get any error printed in the in-game chat box when this occurs?
Auction House addons are being throttled by Blizzard during the prepatch to help reduce the server load. AuctionBuddy relies on being able to query the AH for the item you want to sell so it can automatically set a sell price for it, and due to this throttle, it might be unable to do so at times.
Regardless, I'll take a look into it and get back at you if I find any issue to fix.
In reply to KylePls7:
Found the issue, create auction(s) button will now only enable itself when you can send a query to the blizzard auction house. Due to AH addons being throttled, the enabling of this button might take a few seconds.
Is there any way to have the auction remaining time to show? Right now it doesnt show duration for me

Hi, I'll take a look into it and get back to you soon tm.
Hello there,
i found the addon today and i really like the concept and the clean ui.
still im unable to buy or bid on double click. when i do, it reports me an error on chat box: "AuctionBuddy: failer double clikc/bid an item. Please, wait until an item is selected an try again". No matters how many time i try, or select. it doesnt work.
if i press the "bid selected item" it works and bid/buy the item.
Another huge feature i think its pretty usesfull could be a checkbox or an highlight in green that marks if u are currently the highest bidders on items under the buy ui.
regards and keep up the good work!

Hi, thanks for your feedback!
What is happening is, after I reworked the addon to display all items on a single page so you could better sort the results from your search, that internally the auction house still works with item pages, so if you select an item that is on a page other than the last one that has been scanned, the addon has to navigate to the new page and retrieve the object information and, while this should take <0.5 seconds, double click to buy the item is disabled while the search is being done.
Let me try to explain it better with an example. Let's say you search for Linen Cloth in the auction house and sort by total buyout price. The search returns 20 pages full of Linen Cloth and the results might look something like this.
Linen Cloth: bid: 12s buyout: 15s (found in the page of the vanilla auction house 10)
Linen Cloth: bid: 14s buyout: 16s (found in the page of the vanilla auction house 10)
Linen Cloth: bid: 13s buyout: 17s (found in the page of the vanilla auction house 5)
Linen Cloth: bid: 13s buyout: 18s (found in the page of the vanilla auction house 6)
Linen Cloth: bid: 14s buyout: 19s (found in the page of the vanilla auction house 2)
...
Because in this example there are 20 pages full of Linen Cloth items, after performing this query to the auction house you're internally on the page 20, so you could double-click to buy any item of that same page. If you wanted to double-click to buy the cheapest item (item number 1 of the list above) because it's on the page number 10 you couldn't do so until you have at least selected it and the internal search has been done, after which you should be able double-click to buy it. Because you selected this first item, you could also double-click to buy the second item on the list as it's also internally on the same page.
Hopefully this clarifies your situation. This unfortunately is a limitation of the Blizzard API and as far as I'm aware there is nothing to be done to improve this, at least in Classic (TBC and Vanilla).

thank u for the explaination!
its pretty clear now how it works. thank u very much for your time!
In reply to jomysan:
No problem!
Nevermind! fixed
The double click to buy is awesome! Any chance we could see a double click to BID option next to it? I like to snag many many auctions at bid price and would LOVE this!!
In reply to Zy0217:
Hi, thanks for your suggestion! Sure, I could add this option and bind it to the right click. Will try to do it during this weekend.
In reply to calba_de_frare:
Hell yeah! Thanks!
In reply to Zy0217:
There you go! It should be available in the 1.0.4 BCC version of the addon.
Very bugged so far, it keeps posting wrong itens, making me canceling many auctions. If fixed, could be a good addon.
In reply to netto_sama:
Hi, apologies for the inconvenience, could you provide more details on how to reproduce this issue step by step please? Also, were you using any other auction house addons besides this one?
Thank you.
Just went to post an auction of 5 stacks of 5 dark runes each. Price clearly marked as 20g89s89c per rune, 104g47s,45s per stack. Click post, and it posted them all at 5 silver per stack and someone insta-sniped them before they were even posted. Would not recommend.
In reply to Dahajack:
Hi, sorry to hear that, could you provide more details so I can investigate this further? Was the bid or buyout price set at 5 silver? What steps did you take before posting the item (using the default AH, modifying the price manually, any other auction house addon, etc...)? Also, which version of the addon were you using while this happened? Thanks for your feedback.
In reply to calba_de_frare:
I installed the addon and disabled TSM which I previously used, so no other auction addons were enabled. I opened the AB Sell tab of the auction house, clicked my Dark Runes of which I had 30. Selected 5 per stack, the price was automatically undercut which I liked, I typed in 6 at the number of stacks and clicked Post. I went back to regular AH interface and checked My auctions, saw that it only posted one stack (at the right price). Closed the entire AH interface and opened it back up again, went to AB Sell, selected my Dark runes, which I now had 25 of. The price once again was automatically undercut, I selected 5 per stack, clicked the Max-button on number of stacks and clicked Post once again. This time I got the little counter that it posted mutliple auctions and I figured it worked, but as it was counting I saw that my auctions were being sold already so I had another look at My auctions in the default ui and I saw they were all on 5s each.
Don't know if the Max-button is what caused the issue, that's the only thing I did differently from the first to second posting. I did doublecheck the prices before I clicked post and they looked good.
In reply to Dahajack:
Hi, the only thing that occurs to me is that maybe you switched to the default AH before creating those auctions and then opened AB Sell back again to create them. In versions previous to the 2.1.0c whenever you went back to the default AH, if there was an item pending to be auctioned, its' price would be reset to 1 silver. Seeing that you sold stacks of 5x at 5 silver this would explain how it happened.
I'm once again sorry this happened to you, and made a change on the most recent release so that any item pending to be auctioned will be removed whenever you exit the AB Sell interface, so that these scenarios won't occur in the future.
