Auctioneer Suite
Auctioneer Suite provides you with the tools and data necessary to make those difficult auctioning decisions with ease. From purchasing to posting, the Auctioneer Suite provides time-tested tools to allow you more time to actually play your characters or play the market. As you will soon discover, it is much more than a simple "Auctioning AddOn", the Auctioneer Suite also shows in-depth information for all game items, such as those used in quests or recipes, enchanting, milling, prospecting and more.
Numerous other AddOns will also use the Auctioneer statistics you gather via scanning. This is especially true for many of the popular crafting AddOns, such as Little Sparky's Workshop, GnomeWorks, and Skillet.
I have feedback! I have questions!
Come visit us in our new Slack channel !
Do you have alpha or beta versions I can use?
If you want the latest cutting edge features from our nightly builds, or even if you just want to get our stable builds a few days before we release them here, you can find them in the downloads section at https://auctioneeraddon.com/ . If you're a developer or otherwise adventurous, you can also find details there about our public git repos. And hey, why not consider joining our team?
What happened to your old forums and site?
We had a change in web hosting, and decided to use it as an opportunity to refactor and rebuild our tools and site, but it is a slow process for us since we also have to spend time maintaining the addon, especially around expansion times. We hope to have forums up and running again in the future. The wiki had been frozen for some time, but we may eventually try to revive it as well. Issues are now all being handled at GitLab.
Looking for the slim non-Suite versions?
We currently do not offer the slimmed down builds we had pre-packaged in the past. If there is enough demand for them we may spend time building the packager for them again. Let us know in comments here or in our Slack channel if this is something you want, it will help us prioritize the work to know how large the demand for it is.
Auctioneer Suite Details
The Auctioneer Suite contains Auctioneer, all of its modules, BeanCounter, Enchantrix and Enchantrix Barker, and Informant to help provide a comprehensive view of item data, whether at the Auction House or out questing. Some highlights are:
Appraiser
An intuitive auction posting frame.
- Remembers your preferences for bid/buyout prices, stack sizes, and number of listings to post per item.
- Allows queuing of auctions, so you can instruct it to list hundreds of auctions at a time. Note that Blizzard introduced a hardware event requirement to confirm each posting, but, with Appraiser's Batch Posting, you reduce the total clicks from two per auction, to one.
- Allows you to specify the value price of your choice and remembers your selection
- Displays competing listings, the age of the data, and allows you to sort these listings and refresh them easily.
- Provides a scrollable list of all auctionable items in your bags; allowing you to quickly post all of your goods.
- Provides a "Match Competition" setting which will automatically undercut your competition when posting auctions, within your parameters
- Provides the ability to change to a "Simple" view; a bit like the Auctioneer Classic posting interface.
- Allows you to change column width by Right-Clicking and dragging to the column width of your choice.
- Allows you to post multiple auctions with the single click of the Batch Post button.
- Alt+Left-Click == Refresh Pricing of all Batch Postable Items.
- Shift+Left-Click == Trial or List Posting. Does not actually queue any items to post but prints the exact pricing that will be used on the Auction House in an easily readable format in the "chat window". This allows a user to verify their settings and make adjustments if necessary.
- Ctrl+Shft+Alt+Left-Click == Queue all items that have the "Allow Batch Posting" checkbox selected (located at the top of the item information pane).
CompactUI
An alternative to the standard auction browsing interface.
- Displays more auctions per page
- Displays more data per auction
- Allows you to change column width by Right-Clicking in the column heading and dragging left or right to resize the column to your liking
- Provides a percentage comparison with the Market Value Statistic of your choice
- Allows auctions to be color coded by price level
- Allows multiple sorting options not available on the standard interface
Statistic Modules
There are a variety of fully customizable statistic modules included with Auctioneer that can provide a variety of pricing information- all based upon your needs.
- "Market" - a custom designed formula that merges the various statistics into a usable price. This is the default setting and is highly recommended.
- Auc-Stat-Histogram - Returns Median and IQR values, based upon a Histogram of pricing data. Essentially, a median value, based upon all prices ever seen; no data is ever discarded.
- Auc-Stat-iLevel - Statistics modules that groups all items of same rarity, type, and iLevel together (e.g. all green weapons of iLevel 180). Useful for pricing random "of the ..." items.
- Auc-Stat-Purchased - Statistics module that tries to infer purchase prices based on items disappearing before they could have expired. (Requires more frequent scanning of the AH)
- Auc-Stat-Sales – Uses data from BeanCounter to display historical statistics on actual purchase and sale prices. Note that this statistic is installed along with BeanCounter, and cannot be installed separately.
- Auc-Stat-Simple - Statistics module that performs simple averaging of data, converted daily to exponential moving averages of the orders 3, 7 and 14.
- Auc-Stat-StdDev - Statistics module that keeps the last 100 price points for an item and performs a standard deviation on the data list to exclude outliers from the sample space and provide a normalized mean.
- Auc-Stat-WOWEcon - Statistics module that uses the WOWEcon AddOn's data (if separately installed) to provide the price to other Auctioneer modules.
- Any other stat module that you or others wish to create can be easily added to auctioneer functionality!
SearchUI
An Auctioneer Utility that prompts you when it sees auctions that fit your criteria for buying and, or, bidding.
- Uses Searchers that you can customize for various desired deals such as:
- Resale - Prompts you for deals based on discount from the market value, AH fee, and expected relistings
- Disenchant - Prompts you for deals based on disenchanting armor and weapons
- Prospecting - Prompts you for jewelcrafting deals from prospecting ores
- Vendor - Prompts you for auctions listed below vendor sell price
- The "RealTimeSearch" will continually reload the first and last page of the AH, within reason, as per your configuration, to find the newest bargains and auctions that are just about to come to an end. Both great times to find some amazing deals.
- Piggybacks on your AH scans if allowed to do so
BeanCounter
An associated addon that tracks your bid, postings, and mail to help you determine your overall and item-specific profitability.
- Creates journal entries when you bid, buy, post, or retrieve AH mail.
- Provides a searchable interface that can display all activity or only certain items
- Allows you to change column width by Left-Click and dragging the column to the size of your liking
Enchantrix
Enchantrix displays values for disenchanting, milling, and prospecting; plus suggested values for selling enchants. Enchantrix can also automate disenchanting, milling and prospecting. Some baseline pricing is built in, but Enchantrix also uses values from Auctioneer to provide up-to-date prices for your server/faction. Enchantrix also includes controls to let you customize the pricing by enchant material (fixed prices and weighting).
Informant
Informant displays additional information about items in their tooltips: buy price; sell price; item level; what quests, classes or professions use the item; the value of the item produced by a recipe; etc. Informant can also tell you what vendors sell a given item.
What Can Auctioneer Do to Help Me?
Once a user moves to the Auction House (AH) and beyond just buying and selling from/to vendors, the whole game changes. No longer is the user dealing with the static prices of the vendor to support their character's income. We are now dealing with the fluid and hectic nature of a dog-eat-dog market economy.
In such an economy, which is in a constant state of flux, it can be difficult to select the correct pricing points for your item at the AH. Sometimes, the prices and value of your items can be wildly different compared to the vendor price due to many factors, the value of items that can be made from your item, the use of a particular item in a quest, the suitability of a particular weapon or armor to specific classes, and the disenchantability of an item to enchanters.
Primarily, the driving factor of the price fluctuations, as in the real world is supply versus demand. When supply is high, but demand is low, competition drives the prices down, and conversely then supply is low, but demand is high, the market is driven into a sellers market.
The Auctioneer Suite can help you alleviate this lack of market knowledge over time by watching the market evolve.
When you go to the Auction House (AH) for the first time after installing Auctioneer, you will see a row of 3 buttons along the top of the main "Browse" frame, click the "play" button to begin your first scan of the entire AH. Auctioneer will begin recording statistics for every item it finds, including the bid, buyout, and more.
Once the market analysis has completed, you will notice additional information about the items in the tooltips when you mouse over them.
What happens when you go to sell items via the Auction House?
If auctioneer has enough data, when you try to put an auction up for sale, it will attempt to provide you with intelligent pricing points based upon the market data it has accumulated through scanning.
When you select an item in the full or simple "Appraiser" frame, Auctioneer will suggest a minimum price, a buyout price and display relevant data about it's decision making process in the right, receipt window, including how it has arrived at its prices.
When you place an item in the SimpleAuction, "Post" frame, Auctioneer will suggest a minimum bid, a buyout price, and display relevant data, including the deposit and more.
Happy Auctioneering!!

Hallo. Wo bitte ist der link von auctioneer für WoW Version 9.0.2? Die letzte (7. November 2020) Version mit der Bezeichnung "AUC_9x" und die beträgt 3484KB ist bei mir noch immer vorhanden, jedoch ist diese veraltet. Jedes mal wenn ich die Meldung vom Spiel bekommen, wird es zu einer mühsamen suche um auctionerr aktuell zu halten. Es wäre wirklich optimal den link unter curseforge bitte einzufügen. Das würde uns Spielern so einiges erleichtern.
Version: Classic
K...something needs to be done about this.
There's an individual that keeps corrupting the Market Price by listing a single unit of various items for 1c bid; 400g buyout.
I've already tried:
Deleting all 'Auc-' saved vars in conjunction with deleting and reinstalling the addon.
Disabling TSM then doing the above step and running a scan.
Doing all the above plus making sure the offending player is ignored prior to scanning.
The result(s):
Fire Protection Pots now says "0%" and "Not Available" for PCT in the AH window and Market Price in the tooltip (respectively).
It's obvious there is a bug in Auctioneer's processing and not a case of data getting corrupted over time, because it just happened immediately after a brand-new never been done scan.
The best I can do to point out where is...
It seems to happen when this jackass lists the item and there's only a couple of 50-count pages (so 100 or less) on the AH. They've got Frost Protection Pots up and there's 3 pages of them, but no issues with PCT or the Market Price saying 'Not Available'.
Bronze Bar was another one that was corrupted. But now works...there's 103 on the board atm.
My guess is how ever Market Price is calculated runs into some kind of 'divide by zero'-like result when the Bid and Buyout are at such extremes and there's not many of those items.
In reply to Illutian:
It takes a few days of scanning before market price is reliably calculated on a fresh install or if the stats were cleared - a few items may show before that, but the best advice is 3 days of scanning, at least once when someone logs in and again before they log out. If people are pricing things oddly, it really should not matter, since a fresh install will take the current auctions and use them to amass the statistics - even if some are wildly over or under-priced. As to ignoring posters - that only works haphazardly as the name of the poster is not reliably returned from the AH, unfortunately. It is good to have them on the ignore list, but sometimes their auctions will be included, regardless, as it is hit or miss from the server.
Try on a character with only the Suite enabled for a few days - or create secondary ..\WorldofWarcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns and ..\WTF\.. folders that you can swap in/out while the game is completely shut down and only install the suite into that second set. That will keep everything separated and help to determine if it is something external or something internal to Auctioneer. Also be sure to use the classic beta from https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/auctioneer/files .
After a few days of scanning - if you see the 'not available' on more common items, take some screenshots, showing the tooltip, while holding <SHIFT> so that all of the stat information is shown.
Unfortunately, with the pandemic, the multitude of issues in the world right now, the folks on the team are otherwise engaged - so this is the best course of action at the moment.
In reply to Nechckn:
Well...I rolled a new character on a new server with just Auctioneer running and I'm already seeing 0% PCT and those items have a 1c bid, 400g buyout listing.
I mean...c'mon. What are the odds that people would list items for the exact same WILD amount on different servers? And that these items would just so happen to all most always* have 0% and Not Available for PCT and Market Price (respectively). Yet pretty much ever other listing is fine...listings that don't have the 1c; 400g listings. ((Actually looking at this other server it appears if the bid is really small [like 1c] and the buy out is really high [400g for something that usually BOs for like 5g]. Then the PCT and Market Price become corrupted for that item.))
*It appears if there's enough listings it doesn't happen
Note: Making a mental note to check on Wool Cloth...it's another one that's "bugged" on this reroll server (with just Auctioneer running). Yet has a ton of listings (at 172 listings of various stack sizes...including sever stack of 20 for 40s Bid and 500g+ buy out; my guess bids have been made on them). - Took a screenshot for reference.
BTW: Linen Cloth doesn't have any crazy listings and shows it's seen 126 ("Market Price: (seen 126)" and the PCT column is filled out with non-blackened numbers.
BTW2: Chuck of Boar Meat has been seen 219 times according to the tooltip. There are 219 listings as of right now. Which means that Wool Cloth should have said "(seen 172)" and not "Not Available". But then, Wool Cloth has listings that are way outside the 'market value' range. Like I'm pretty sure Auctioneer wasn't designed to handle something that has a buyout of around 850,000 copper (85g 07s 78c) when it's going for around 850 copper (8s 50c).
...which I notice goes into the thousand's place...one digit more than Auctioneer displays (">999%" in the PCT column).
Are you sure there isn't an overflow happening. Because this certainly screams Overflow resulting in values that cause 'issues'.
In reply to Illutian:
So sorry that this is happening. Have checked on two servers, both factions and neutral and not seeing it; both have numerous auctions listed with 1c bid no buyout, outrageous buyouts, et cetera. Which server(s) are you on? Will try to reproduce it so we can begin to figure out why that behavior is occurring.
In reply to Nechckn:
No worries. Thousands are using this. There's bound to be some exploit found.
Officially Pagle, I also tested on Faerlina; figured I'd keep it limited to 'high pop' servers.
The issue comes and goes, like it seems if I can get a scan in between the relisting periods for this crazy listings then it fixes itself. But once a listing group is 'captured'. Then it's pretty much over. That item group will stay "0% PCT; Market Price Not Available". No matter how many listings of the item are present when you scan.
Whelp...on Faerlina, Wool Cloth is 'fixed', but healing pots (looks like all versions; minor to major) are borked. Major has over 200 listings at this time.
Shift+Tooltip shows stats for Histogram, Simple and StdDev. But, again, nothing for Market Price.
Pagle doesn't have this issue for them....so, I'll copy the Saved Vars of Auctioneer to the other account...and...run another full scan on Faerlina....and yep. Still says "0% PCT".
That should rule out a possible corrupt ScanData that, for what ever reason, is breaking an item listing for another server; Major Healing Pots was fine on Pagle and not fine when copied to Faerlina.
Note: Just for reference, Pagle has all addons; Faerlina has only Auctioneer enabled. And the scans/rescans were run with in a couple of minutes of each other for each server.
In reply to Illutian:
Run on Pagel, both factions, and that is one where it has not occurred.
You have to copy the contents of the server-keyed data within each Auc-stat-<name> manually, otherwise they will not be shown, as they are keyed per realm and faction to keep them separate.
Are you seeing any errors when logging in or at any time afterward? From any source? Also, check the end-of scan summary and either copy paste it or screenshot it and post it along with the shots of a few items and their tool tips.
will try to get back Monday to compare.
reply to Nechckn:
Ah, so that's how it works. I thought it just looked at the scan and then compared it with the one just taken and matched up what it could. Since it would be a different server, it'd just drop all the items.
As for errors. Nope, not when logging in. - I do get the occasional error, like /reload while in combat because some of the API is in 'protected mode'.
As for scan summary. Just ran one:
[Pagle; "fresh install settings" (so what ever is default)]
[00:38:51] Auctioneer finished scanning 31776 auctions over 30Secs
[00:38:51] 11562 items in DB at start (11562 matched query); 31776 at end
[00:38:51] 376 unchanged items
[00:38:51] 5665 updated items
[00:38:51] 22978 new items
[00:38:51] 4727 items removed
[00:38:51] 2757 filtered items
[00:38:51] 128 filtered items removed
And Silk Cloth is currently borked; 0% PCT, Market Price Not Available...on 196 listings.
[Faerlina; "fresh install settings"; did have to enable Prat to copy chat]
[00:44:56] Auctioneer finished scanning 30276 auctions over 21Secs
[00:44:56] 29387 items in DB at start (29387 matched query); 30276 at end
[00:44:56] 245 unchanged items
[00:44:56] 5101 updated items
[00:44:56] 23977 new items
[00:44:56] 23879 items removed (of which, 16031 were past expiry time)
[00:44:56] 953 filtered items
[00:44:56] 125 filtered items removed
All (Lesser/Healing) Potions currently show 0% PCT; Market Price Not Available. However, Major Healing is now working. ....and Major Healing at this moment doesn't have any crazy listings...the worst is only 330% PCT.
Where as, Lesser and Healing both have a listing for 2c Bid (likely someone bid 1c) and 400g buyout.
((Meaning the scan I did ~16hrs ago, when I posted that Major Healing was broken, is now fixed. The only change being that the crazy listing that was there is now gone.))
In reply to Illutian:
Still no luck replicating the behavior, over numerous days and servers. Try to disable Beancounter and see if there is any difference.
If that does not work, would suggest adding the second WTF folder, just rename the original, and then scan for a couple of days and see if the behavior remains consistent. You can easily swap between the WTFs by renaming them while WoW is completely shut down.
In reply to Nechckn:
Well, shoot. Thanks for trying.
Wish there was like a debug viewer on the Auctioneer site where you could crunch Scan Data to find anomalies (like wat I experience).
I cant get Auctioneer to work. Recently returned to the game and this is the one mod I miss the most. When I log in it says, "Auctioneer load aborted: Core file failed to load correctly: CoreConst." I've tried different versions on here and even on the website. Sometimes I see enchantrix or informant type info and I had it scanning at one point but the UI has never had the extra tabs or item details. Let me know what other info i can provide.
In reply to madiradune:
For retail, the latest beta: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VNrlcUEdmx8HTYwvIm0gU-s3TSovlueA/
You can, alternatively, pull from the GIT repository, linked under 'Source' above or use this zip to obtain the embedded version - up to you.
To install if you have not been using the retail beta:
First, ensure WoW is completely closed and remove all existing suite folders from the .._retail_/interface/AddOns directory - Auctioneer, Beancounter, Enchantrix, Informant, et cetera. Download and unzip the beta for Retail 9.02 to .._retail_/Interface/AddOns
The post at https://www.patreon.com/posts/auctioneer-8-3-33266060 details what you will see and expect for retail, at present, when visiting the AH - scan tied to searches, dealfinder window that appears once you have scanned enough, et cetera.
**Work is continuing on the enchantrix disenchanting yields for Shadowlands, so the current estimates should be ignored for now.**
Version: Classic
Anyone have an issue where it says "Market Price: Not Available" in the tooltips and the PCT column says "0%" for some items...despite those items regularly being on the auction house?
EDIT:
This is after doing a scan using the "> >" button since the regular scan takes about 45 minutes to complete.
In reply to Illutian:
Did you just install the Suite or have you been using it for a while? The way market price works, it needs to have data from the activated statistics modules - usually a scan or two per day over a few days will allow it to compute a reliable Market Price/value. That way it will be more accurate than something like the Simple Statistic that is more of a 'right now' look at pricing.
In reply to Nechckn:
I've used it since the day it was made ready for Classic, but had to do a total delete of the saved vars awhile back because I couldn't get it to record the 'new' Market Value of items (300%+ according to PCT column). Even disabling the Filter Module kept the new values from being used. And Delete Data didn't work because it didn't delete the Histogram LUA.
But I'd say that was at least a month ago, and like I tend to run a scan every time I log onto a Crafter. So at least 4 times a week.
However, I always use the 'fast scan' ("> >" button). Wonder if it's skipping over some of the items.
The weird thing is it happened on Bolt of Woolen Cloth and Small Glimmering Shard. But was fixed using Tradeskill Master's /tsm scan, which triggers Auctioneer's "fast scan" (I think...I mean the scan is done by Auctioneer [the progress bar is there] and it only takes about 1 minute). Odd that Auctioneer's scan and even me just paging through the result for the search didn't update it.
Never had TSM interfere with Auctioneer's data recording. In fact, I use Auctioneer's data when calculating profit in TSM's crafting.
In reply to Illutian:
There could be some issue between the two, but have not had reports of anything like that. The same GetAll function is called and the results should be caught by both AddOns when using the fast scan - or the slow, non-time-locked page scan. See if it has changed now, especially for the more common items.
In reply to Nechckn:
Is it possibly because people are listing items at stupid prices?
Like Tin Bar has "0%" for PCT, there's 8 total listings; 4 are ~20 silver per unit. But 4 are 400gold per unit. And unlike, say Major Health Potion, has no "(seen [number])" after "Market Price: " in the tooltip; just says "Not Available".
I know Tin Bar has been up on the AH many times...there's no way I'm seeing it for the first time on this scan.
I'm not sure how Auctioneer handles values when they're way out there when figuring out Market Price...but it does seem that items with "for lulz" listings all seem to have "0%" for PCT and no Market Value available.
In reply to Illutian:
Your best bet is to either do an /Auc clear all or to manually remove all Auc-stat-<name> from ../worldofwarcraft/_classic_/wtf/ while WoW is completely shutdown. There is some issue with the stats if you are seeing more than one item with such an issue. The outlier filter will ignore outrageous prices and keep them from the stats, but only if it has a price to gauge that from, if it is not showing a seen count. If you are not seeing errors then a corrupt file is likely and clearing them should get things back to normal.
In reply to Nechckn:
Weird...deleted the "Auc-Stat-xxx" and then relaunched the game.
First scan through, Bolt of Mageweave had "0%" for PCT, but doing /tsm scan and then search for the bolts now has non-zero values for PCT.
Small Glowing Shard also had a 0% PCT, but after doing a couple of 'manual scans' (the scan processing that happens once you reach the final page of a search result), it now has non-zero values.
Only change I did for setup was turning off 'Outlier' and changing 'FlatOutlier' to Main: Market; Secondary: StdDev, and changing its filters to cap at 900% (the prices swing wildly...freakin AH Mafia).
In reply to Illutian:
Ugh...is there like some kind storage limit. I just had Bolt of Silk Cloth go from having a PCT/Market Price to now have 0% and "Not Available (respectively).
