Merchant's Choice

# Merchant's Choice

 

A focused utility addon for trading, crafting, disenchanting, and mailbox management. Built for WoW Classic / TBC / WotLK / Cata Anniversary and Retail interface versions.

 

## Overview

 

Merchant's Choice centers on two personal item lists (Trade and Craft) you build by drag-and-drop, plus quality-of-life tools for mass buying, mailbox extraction, profession crafting, and cursor-driven disenchanting. It integrates with Auctionator for profit analysis when available.

 

## Features

 

### Item Lists

Open the main window (minimap left-click or `/mc`) and drop items in:

- **Trade list** — items you want to hand into the current player-to-player trade window

- **Craft list** (hold Shift while dropping) — items used for crafting and disenchanting, each with a priority (1 to 5)

 

List interaction:

- Left-click: remove the item from the list

- Right-click (Craft list only): cycle its priority 1 to 5

- Hover: full item tooltip

 

### Trade Window Automation

With an active trade window open, `/mcrun` pushes every Trade-list item from your bags into the trade slots until all six are filled.

 

### Mass Buy at Vendors

Shift + Right-click on any merchant item opens a dialog to buy a custom amount. The addon splits the order into correct stack sizes automatically and warns if you do not have enough gold.

 

### Mailbox Enhancements

When the mailbox is open:

- a side panel lists every unique attachment type in your inbox with a per-item count

- click an entry to extract every stack of that item, always keeping at least 2 free bag slots free

- the last used recipient is remembered and auto-filled into the Send tab

- Alt + Left-click on a bag item while composing mail attaches every matching stack in your bags

 

### Craft All

Open a profession window and trigger the secure craft button. It picks the highest-priority Craft-list entry that is currently craftable and queues the maximum available count in one call. Per-character counters track how many of each recipe you have crafted.

 

### Disenchant Profit Analyzer (requires Auctionator)

Opens while a profession window is visible and scans every enchanting-grade recipe you know:

- pulls vendor prices (including reputation discounts) from Auctionator's cache

- uses AH prices for non-vendor reagents

- compares crafting cost against Auctionator's expected disenchant value

- lists profitable crafts, sortable by profit, name, or times crafted

- supports favorites, a minimum-profit % filter, and a per-recipe material breakdown

- a "Search AH" button multi-searches every reagent plus the crafted item in Auctionator with one click

 

### Cursor-Follow Disenchant Button

A small Disenchant button that follows the mouse cursor and:

- only appears when you know Disenchant and have a Craft-list item in bags

- automatically targets the highest-priority eligible item

- advances to the next item while the previous cast is running

- locks during the cast (desaturated icon, red border) to prevent accidental equips from spam clicks

- hides itself while mail, merchant, bank, trade, loot, or tradeskill windows are open
