1. What will this addon do for you?
This addon has 3 major functions:
- Auto sell grey items
- Auto repair your character
- Auto restock
Auto sell your grey items:
This addon will automatically sell all your grey items in your bags for you. If there's a grey item that you don't want to sell you can put it on the exceptions list.
Auto sell your green items:
This is an option that can be toggled on and off. The addon will NOT sell any item that is NON equippable. That means it will only sell green armor. It will also not sell any green item that you have equipped on your character.
Green items that are in your bags (quest rewards) will be sold. Frost Lotus, Titanium Ore etc will NOT be sold.
Auto repair your character:
Every time you open a window with an NPC that has the ability to repair, the addon will repair automatically for you. The default variable is set for it to repair regardless of the cost. If you want to be prompted on every repair, or want to set a threshold above which the addon needs to prompt you for repairs, you can do this from the options menu. This will also use the guild bank if you have the option available.
Auto restock your items:
It will keep your stocks of ammo/food/water/reagents/whatever up to a set amount. Whenever you visit a vendor that sells the item, this addon will check the amount you already have, and buy the amount you need. Because some things come in large stacks (arrows, bullets) by default this addon will not overstock. Ofcourse there is an option to make the addon overstock a little
2. What will this addon NOT do for you:
This addon will NOT:
Waste CPU cycles. We coded this addon to be lightweight and use the least amount of cpu cycles and memory as possible.
This addon will NOT:
Automatically sell white, blue or epic items you don't use. We cannot know who will use what so you'll have to sell those yourself.
This addon will NOT:
- Sell green items unless you enable that
- Sell green items you are wearing
- Sell Frost lotus, titanium ore etc
3. Slash commands:
The following slash commands are available for the Vend-o-matic addon:
Opening config screen:
/vm config
Show/hide minimap button:
/vm show
Reset all option (cannot be restored)
/vm reset
4. Furthermore....
We tested this addon ourselves and it worked fine. Of course we do not have every single addon installed. That's why we would love your help. We cannot fix bugs that we don't know of, so if you encounter a bug, instead of getting annoyed by it please drop us an email (or a whisper) and we will fix it.

Posted Dec 7, 2017This addon has begun putting useless information in my chat window, like what v endor I'm talking to and:
Vend-o-matic: no repair needed.
Vend-o-matic: no grey items in bag.
Vend-o-matic: no green items in bag.
HOW DO I SHUT THIS OFF. it's annoying! Every time I click a vendor it pops up! And heaven forbid I click twice..

Posted Jul 30, 2017Great mod! Thank you for how easily it just works, no confusing options.
I was wondering if you could add a user-generated "always sell this" list? I'm thinking similar to the "retain" lists currently in the app, only opposite. There are many white common items I would like to always sell and I would like to have my own list of them.
Thanks!

Posted Apr 23, 2017Hello.
I don't know why but MinimapButtonBag can't hide Vendomatic's icon inside its "container-drawer". ImperialAKO, could you please make this happen (maybe it's on MMB's side, I don't know..) ?
Thanks

Posted Jun 19, 2017I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'm not registering the icon in a certain way! It's been a long while since I've looked at that part of the code :)

Posted Jan 1, 2017I honestly don't know if I am doing something wrong or not, as I have never used this addon until today, and honestly it would not pull anything from the guild bank and I am the GM.
I tried with and with out the adibags turned on/off, nothing happens ?

Posted Nov 29, 2016Wow I had a major bug with this addon today. I have been using this great addon for all of Draenor and now Legion to sell grey items.
Yesterday it vendored three purple items in my bags. Two trinkets and a set of shoulders. I have put in a ticked for restoration.
I just completed two world quest and went to vendor greys and noticed two purples were sold with the garbage. I then disabled the addon and opened vendor purples stayed in my bags.
I then switch on Vendo-O-Matic in addons again and it sold the random purples. Thing is other purple items were not sold.
Items sold yesterday were shoulders and two trinkets. Today was a ring and older agility trinket both purples. I check settings if I added the items to don't sell and it doesn't.
Server is restarting. I will uninstall and delete settings files and reset settings defaults tomorrow to see if its a weird glitch.

Posted Nov 12, 2016Okay. So everyone wants a broker display. I think it should be easy to add.
I'm debating on where to add this. I'm the type of person where I don't like a lot of clutter, so I'd prefer to add it to the character panel frame as either a fly-out or a numerical value listed.
I like using the character panel for a couple of reasons (and this goes with my philosophy when building this addon):
What does anyone else think?

Posted Oct 28, 2016I've renamed the addon to "Vendomatic" without the dashes. It will be easier to find in the Curse App now :)

Posted Oct 28, 2016Okay I think I fixed the tagging issues. I'm not sure what's going on with the Curse Packager. I just versioned it with a number and it "worked". So there you have it. Now to figure out why it's not managed in the Curse App.

Posted Oct 27, 2016So the new build is out there but the Curse packaging system isn't agreeing with me today. If you want to check it out via SVN, checkout revision 88, it will have the right files.

Posted Oct 26, 2016FYI There is still an issue with guild repairs. You don't need to be able to withdraw money (CanWithdrawGuildBankMoney()) in order to perform guild repairs. In my guild I cannot with draw money but I am allowed guild repairs. I have had to make the changes to lines 103 and 129 in order to compensate:
In order to fix this I had to made the following changes to lines 103 and 129 of file Vendomatic.lua:
Old:
if CanWithdrawGuildBankMoney() and CanGuildBankRepair() and (VendomaticOptions.guildbankrepair == 1) then
New:
if CanGuildBankRepair() and (VendomaticOptions.guildbankrepair == 1) the

Posted Oct 27, 2016Yeah sorry. I'll get this coded in. At some point you needed it. Guess they fixed that, for the better.
Update - new release is tagged which removes this check. Credit to you in notes :P

Posted Oct 26, 2016Could you add a Broker display so we don't have to use this add-on and another just for the Broker display.
I like to see what is broke on my character and whats broke in my bags as well as how much they are with just a look and a highlight of the broker display.
The one I use is (Broker_DurabilityInfo) But I turn off the auto repair because Vend-o-matic does more like selling gray items.

Posted Oct 27, 2016I'll look into this. I'll see what that addon does and maybe try to replicate it. Or come up with something I think is my own idea. I hate creating additional frames because a lot of people use UI addons that may not be compatible, so it's hard to do something nifty like "Show the broken amount on the Player Unit Frame" type deal. I don't want to tie to that.

Posted Oct 26, 2016Okay, I fixed what I think was the "this might vendor your epics" bug. Sorry for that.
Also built for 7.1. Enjoy.
I'll review some more and will have to do some code cleanup.

Posted Sep 20, 2016Note: Turns out there might be a UI bug somewhere causing some of these issues. Talked about it with some other folks and some other addons are having bag clearing/selling problems as well (Adibags).
We think we've come up with a potential fix for this after some discussion.

Posted Sep 19, 2016Problem. After testing back and forth with no other addons enabled, this addon, when you select "Sell Greens" is selling epics in Legion... I've used this for years. Still OK with greys. Thank God I caught it, as my restoration is on CD.
But be warned.
It may have something to do with how items are in Legion, how they can be upgraded. But these were definitely epic quality purple items.
Edit: Deleted the addon, and it happened with another addon, Scrap. So yeah... it's not this addon's fault. See below comment for full explanation.

Posted Sep 20, 2016I've never seen it sell epics. The actual mechanism for this is here:
Line 223: local _,_,quality = GetItemInfo(itemid);
Line 224: if (quality == 0) then
To sell Greens, the following is checked:
Line 249: if ((quality == 2) and IsEquippableItem(itemid)) then
So unless the item shows up as either quality = 0 or quality = 2 (grey or green), it shouldn't even bother trying to sell it. It's entirely possible that the loop isn't getting the item info and automatically setting that item's quality to 0 absent the real number.
I HAVE, however, been investigating some issues with selling grays en masse. It's been really hard to reproduce but maybe there's something in the WoW UI Thread that is causing this. For me, the issue I've seen is that if it's trying to sell too quickly some of the items don't sell until a second pass.
I'm guessing it's entirely possible the same problem is hitting you, just manifesting differently. I could potentially stop this with a timer between the loop to slow the loop down.

Posted Sep 21, 2016My apologies, I deleted the addon and it just happened again today and all I had left was Scrap. You're right. What triggered me was the change happened after I set Vendomatic to "Sell Greens" and this didn't happen with Scrap before. This must be coincidence or something with a recent hotfix issue, since none of this has happened since launch and I've played 12 hours a day every day.
In any event, if you use any of these addons, be careful right now.
