FlipScout — Auction House Deal Finder

FlipScout scans the Auction House and highlights items listed significantly below their historical market value, helping you quickly identify potential flips.

It uses Blizzard’s replicate snapshot system to capture complete Auction House commodity pricing and compares current listings against recent price history stored locally.

No external pricing sources. No TSM dependency. Just raw Auction House data.

How It Works

FlipScout performs a snapshot scan of commodity listings using Blizzard’s official Auction House API.

Each scan stores pricing locally and builds historical reference data over time.

Deals are identified when current listings fall below historical median pricing by your configured threshold.

The more you scan, the more accurate the deal detection becomes.
