Forever Price Checkin

Forever Price Checkin

Know what it's worth before you sell, buy, or vendor it. Forever Price Checkin scans the auction house and shows real prices right in your item tooltips. It also finds deals, appraises your bags, and watches prices for you.

Find the button on your minimap, or type /fpc.

What it does

• Prices in every tooltip: hover any item to see the lowest price, the market price, how many are for sale, and how recently it was scanned.
• Auction house or vendor? tooltips compare the auction price with the vendor price and warn you when a vendor pays more.
• Price trends: see whether an item is cheaper or more expensive than it has been lately.
• Smart listing price: get a suggested price to list at, plus what you'd keep after the auction house cut.
• Deal finder: the Deals tab lists items priced far below what they normally cost, with an estimated profit.
• Bag appraiser: see what your bags are worth, and which items to auction and which to vendor.
• Soulbound items are handled for you.
• Price watchlist: choose an item and a price, and you're alerted after a scan when it drops to your target.
• Price history: check the lowest price of an item for each day you've scanned.
• PopUp Button: open the window, scan, or check your bags in one click. Drag it anywhere around the minimap.

Good to know

• Prices come from your own scans. Addons can't look up prices from outside the game, so you see the prices from your last scan, along with how old they are.
• The game allows one full scan every 15 minutes. This limit is shared with any other auction house addons you use.
• Prices are saved separately for each realm and faction.
• Per stack or per unit: the addon works out how buyout prices are listed by itself. If a price ever looks off, type `/fpc sample` to compare it with the auction house window, then use `/fpc mode stack` or `/fpc mode unit`.
• It never buys, posts, or cancels anything. It only reads prices and gives you information.
• Deals and bag advice are estimates based on the auction house cut, which you can change with `/fpc cut`.
