Guild Found Market

A private, cross-guild marketplace for guild-locked communities. Find live offers from people in your own guild confederation and trade face-to-face — no Auction House, no spam, no third-party services.

Why

The Auction House can't be restricted to your own guilds, and guild-locked / self-found communities (Hardcore, Season of Discovery, ironman alliances, and similar) need a way to trade within their group. Guild Found Market keeps the whole marketplace inside a confederation you define in your guild information. The actual handover happens through the normal trade window.

How it works

Search for an item — start typing and pick it from the autocomplete. Only online sellers in your confederation answer your search.
See live offers — who is selling, how many, the price (or "Bid" if they take offers), and the seller's current location, sorted cheapest first. Left-click a seller to see everything they have listed; right-click to whisper them about the item.
Browse by seller — the Sellers tab lists everyone in your confederation who is online and selling right now. Open one to see their whole catalog, and Ctrl-click any of their items to find who else is selling it.
List what you sell — add your items in the My Items tab. Your client answers other people's searches automatically; you are never interrupted by pop-ups. Heading into a raid or PvP? Flip your listings to Offline to pause answering — your items are kept, nothing to clear.

Searches are sent over a hidden channel and answers come straight back to the searcher, so it stays fast and quiet even in large communities.

This is a live, peer-to-peer marketplace — offers come straight from sellers who are online right now, with no central server storing listings. It shines once a good number of people in your confederation run it: the more active members online, the more offers you see.

Features

Item search with a self-building, multilingual autocomplete (arrow-key navigation, quality colors, shift-click an item link to search it).
Live offers from online sellers, sorted by price. Set a fixed price, or leave it empty to take bids.
A Sellers tab to browse everyone online and selling right now, with a per-seller catalog and a name filter.
Right-click a seller's item to open a whisper pre-filled with the item and price; Ctrl-click to compare it across other sellers.
A private "My Items" list that auto-answers searches — no notifications, no spam to sellers — with an Online / Offline toggle to pause it while you raid or PvP.
In-game Help tab covering the first-run database build, the click actions, and the slash commands.
Minimap button and /gfm (or /market) slash command.
No dependency on any other addon. Not tied to any specific game mode or community.

Setup for guild officers

Access is controlled by a small config block in your Guild Information text (Guild window, Information tab). Add a shared-secret line and one line per guild:

GFMc:MyCommunity:somesharedsecret
GFMp:My Main Guild:MG
GFMp:My Second Guild:MG2

GFMc:name:secret — only members who can read this (members of the listed guilds) can join the marketplace. Pick any secret string.
GFMp:exact guild name:short tag — one line per guild in your confederation.

The block must be identical across all guilds in the confederation. If you already run GreenWall, its GWc/GWp config is used automatically and you don't need to add anything.

Getting started

Open the window with /gfm, /market, or the minimap button.
In the Buy tab, type an item name and press Enter (arrow keys to navigate the suggestions). You can also shift-click an item from your bags, character sheet, a chat link, or AtlasLoot into the search box.
First run — build the item database. Autocomplete turns the item name you type into the ID used to search, and it is built locally. On a fresh install it only knows the items in your bags, so to search for things you don't own you need to run the one-time "Build full DB" scan first (or have aux installed, which seeds it instantly). It is a safe background scan that resumes if you stop and is only needed once. (Already own the item, or have a chat link / AtlasLoot? You can also shift-click it straight into the search box, no database needed.)
In the My Items tab, add the items you want to sell. That is all — your client answers other people's searches on its own. Use the Online / Offline button there to pause answering while you raid or PvP.
Not sure what to look for? Open the Sellers tab to see who is online and selling, browse their lists, and Ctrl-click an item to find every seller of it.

Good to know

Only online sellers show up, since you trade face-to-face anyway.
Guild Found Market helps you find sellers. It never trades for you and respects the game's rules.
