Initial Release

5.4.0
  - Updated call for lowest buyout owner field.

I wrote this add-on for personal use, I was not going to release this to the public because of how effective this add-on was for me. I was able to generate a substantial amount of gold by using it and at the time I did not want any more competition then I already had. I wrote this for 5.1 so there may be some bugs from 5.2 that I haven't accounted for. I will try to keep tabs on this add-on, but I can't promise anything due to the fact that I'm no longer actively playing the game.

With that said, here are the 2 main issues I came across.

Scan Button: After a scan some sellers may be marked as "unknown" to resolve the names a secondary scan is required. "This happens because the auction listing internally contains player GUIDs rather than names, and the WoW client does not query the server for names until GetAuctionItemInfo() is actually called for the item, and the result takes one RTT to arrive. The GUID->name mapping is then stored in a name resolution cache, which gets cleared upon logout (not UI reload)." - Source

Caged Pets: The add-on does not work (well) with caged pets.
