Better Vendor Price
Shows per individual, current stack and full stack prices.
(that includes the sell price per unit)
Works anywhere including bags, vendors, item links in chat and the Auction House.
Also get Auction House DataBase (AHDB) to see auction pricing data.
Why is it useful?
Sometimes the regular vendor price isn't enough to decide what to keep and what to discard:
For instance imagine you have 4 something that sell for 12s and 2 of something else for for 8s and both are dropping right now
Well assuming they both stack in 5 max, you should get rid of the 4 as you can get 20s from that slot with the other item (vs 15s for the other)
But if one stacks in 20 and the other in 5 or 10, the calculation changes !
Unless you are a math wiz and can do all that in your head (and if you know the stacking size), you can use this addon to guide you!
(and if a math wiz, it'll tell you the stacking size too which you can't know otherwise)
How accurate is it / can I trust these vendor prices ?
It is using the official blizzard item API, not any custom database, so it's 100% accurate and always up to date!

Works for both BfA and WoW Classic (where it's even more useful given lack of default vendor price)
Get the binary release using curse/twitch client or on wowinterface

Hello.
Like many addon that modifying the tooltip, with recipes that shows the item crafted, we can see 2 "line" with the same info.

From my side, there's 3 addons that correctly handle this kind of item (Auctionator, Elvui and Arkinventory if you want to see their code)
I wanted to know if there was a way to show whether or not an item is considered quest and or a reagent for crafting as of lately I have not seen that information on mouse over?
Is there a setting that needs to be turned on or is this not yet implemented into BVP?
In reply to Dyeslee:
That's interesting, not sure if there is a way to tell that from the item type (if you get AHDB and do a scan you will be able to tell from the AH price though)
In reply to Dyeslee:
sent you a cple of PM's regarding this issue.. didnt want to blow it up here with images..
In reply to Dyeslee:
hi, you should try ItemTooltipProfessionIcons that does exactly that.
there's also the older way with 3 folders of auctioneer to install: informant, stubby and !swatter, no need for the rest exept if you want to try that AH suite.
Hello, in a youtube video advertising this addon it says that you can also see icons for what relevant professions can be used for items. I'm not seeing it in the config menu, do I have to first 'view' the recipe in order to get data?
In reply to Vyvanne:
there is another addon adding that kind of profession tooltip, not sure the name off hand. this one is just about vendor price and stacking information
IN reply to MooreaTV
I appreciate the link to that AH addon, even though it has a HUGE Amount of abilities.. its waaaay TMI for even me.. I looove your AHDB, its fast, simple, works great with auctionator, and does exactly what I'm looking for without all the extra BS..
with your Vendor addon, I love it and use it religiously as well.. great comparisons and with the AH, I was just hoping if there was a way to add Disenchant info to any green+ items.
I thought about this after the fact of the post, Classic in short is in beginning stages all over agian in a matter of speaking.
How the API and wowhead may work with this may be more difficult atm, if any chance of that at all.. much like the gathering addons. gotta have a database to build off of..
So since my mage is a tailor / enchanter, how hard would it to make an addon to save data from items that I Disenchant so that it might be of use in the future for an enchantrix like addon or even added to your vendor addon?
I know you would need a way to save the item ID and enchant results ID or of the sort that i can think of.. I'm no coder by any means and not good at trying to figure it out LOL..
Let me know if you think the above might be an idea and I would be happy to run it as a beta tester.. my mage is still low level atm and so is my tailor / enchant pros.
question.. is there a way to add what the item would be Disenchanted into if green or better?
So if i get a random green, would be better to DE it and keep the mats or sell on AH / vendor it?
If not would you happen to know of any addon that would show this information.. I've been getting ALOT of green randoms from leveling. would be great information to know. should i DE It, Vendor, or AH it..

to go beyond vendor price, get aux-addon:

Only works on my vendor buyback tab. Redownloaded and updated several times. Also tried older versions. Doesn't work. Disabling all other addons also didn't help.
In reply to Lovlalek:
Are you on BfA or Classic? Are you in a non enUS locale ?
can you do the following:
/bvp debug 1
mouse over an item in your bag
/bvp bug
copy paste the result here or github
ps: you're the first person ever to report it not working everywhere so I'm quite curious - my guess is somehow you do have some conflicting addon not disabled
In reply to MooreaTV:
Thanks for your reply.
I'm playing Classic. Not entirely sure what that means, but I'm from EU and my client is set to English.
Here is the copy paste you requested:

I had my mouse over a stack of... something.

would it be possible for the information about the items you currently have to be on the buttom of the tooltip? in my personal opinion this would be much more intuitive to look at. it always confused me to see the price for the full stack instead of what I currently have :)
In reply to ben9ty:
I can maybe add an option I suppose but right it's sorted, the 3 lines in increasing value (last one being prospective value if you manage to fill up that slot)
When you are at the vendor, the price at the bottom is the actual price (which can include repair deduction)
So what would be the order full/per item/current? per item/full/current? both would look weird to me with the price going up then down but if you think it's much better lmk
In reply to MooreaTV:
I know what you mean with the price going up and down, but I'd still very much prefer it like this: full stack, per item, current stack. I think the thing that's confusing me the most is that what you currently have is is the middle and not on the bottom. :D
So if there's any chance you could implement an option to display the tooltip like this, that'd be super cool!
In reply to ben9ty:
ok, will do but can't promise by when! Thx !!
In reply to MooreaTV:
I'm glad it's coming. looking forward to it!! :) :)
