Special thanks for all there previous work!
CLASSIC VERSION ONLY: The prices for items are from a data source and may not be 100% accurate.
So, I got it working for TBC, sorta. I don't know how to add the new items included in TCB (I know exactly zero coding language but I am good at sussing existing code out, so trying to figure that out).
If you want to get at least the classic list working again in TBC, open Main.lua in a program like Notepad++ and go to line 8, and change the line so it looks like this:
You'll also want to make this change in line 5 of the Options.lua file, however it has a ; after the 30000. This will enable the addons option tab in Interface to appear again.
This should get the tooltips for Vanilla items working again, if nothing else. I tested this on my own client and I got back that bit of basic functionality. If I can ever figure out anything else with the code I'll report back, but for now at least it's something for those of us leveling through Vanilla content.
If anyone actually understands LUA, one issue I can see just in this is that it doesn't populate zone or coods if there is only one vendor that sells an item; it give it if there are two or more, however.

So the author has updated the description with:
NOTICE: DON'T HAVE AN ACTIVE ACCOUNT, AND HAVE NO INTEREST IN BLIZZARD GAMES ANY MORE.
NO MORE UPDATES IN DEVELOPMENT.
I guess that means you are free to take over
ohh I miss this, Can somebody take it over?
In reply to WoWEye:
Licence issues. Best thing we could get would be a fan-version
The original Swindler Preventer seems to be working for me in TBC while we wait for an update.

(Sometimes throws up errors but still shows me the info in tooltip)

Fixed it. the C_Calendar.GetDate function has been changed to C_DateAndTime.GetCurrentCalendarTime ... yay ... (hear the sarcasm? lol)
Lines 97 and 129 need to be changed to
so they will look like
line 97
and line 129
Have updated many thanks for all! Sorry for the delay.
Not currently having an active sub, but I'm working on a complete rewrite.
Have fun!

Hope this helps for the fix
I believe replacing GetDate with Date in the main lua may fix this. Seems to be working for mine
In reply to wyr3d:
Mine is a similar error, different line tho ... occurs when mousing over any hallow's end stuff in my bags

Which line(s) did you edit to fix? and did you remove the "Get" part of the GetDate ?
In reply to imjayc2:
I just replaced GetDate with Date using search and replace in notepad :P
I haven't had any issues with it since, but I expect this only to be a temporary fix.
In reply to wyr3d:
Nope, didn't work for me. just throws a the error referencing "Date" instead of "GetDate"
I changed it back ... was worth a go tho, glad it's working for you
FleecingTip 830.1923(200720) error: Can't find any information on 'Heldan Galesong'
I got the following message:
Fleecing Tip has detected new data! Please report the following message: Clefthoof Hide Satchel [117445] sold for 135g by Provisioner Rashma (Horde) in Town Hall
Which is fine, here I am reporting. But can't you just record all these in the saved variables and request those? That way you can get more info
In reply to wyr3d:
All new data is saved so that you only get the message once, then is clear on next update.
Many thanks for the report. Will update.
