      I've been using a lot of megaroutes recently and have tons of different items I just care about getting up on the AH, I don't really care to nit pick all the prices to see if it's worth posting. I just care about volume of auctions.

      For eAuction, it seems you have to manually enter in the items you want to sell. Is there a plugin that will just post everything undercut at like 95% the current price?

      I've seen ProfessionBuddy do this with the 1-525 mining/herbing profiles, but was hoping for a detached version away from those leveling profiles.

      Although you do have to manually enter them in I believe you can enter just about as many boxes as you would ever need. So I suggest you use eAuction, set it to 15-30min intervals depending on your servers demand.

      Take a half hour, 45min or so and just enter everything in and then post the lowest price you would ever think would be worth selling. And you will only have to do this once when you have found every item you gather.

      i.e I have cinderbloom minimum value set for 18g cuz it can get down to around that

      -I have my undercut at 1% for low volume items, 3% for high volume (cata ore, herb etc.)
      -
      Set the max to something maybe 25% more than the average high of the item just in case you get a server peak
      -Your minimum price will determine the lowest g/hr you will be making so that's up to you and your server

      Once you have it setup I would suggest creating a backup file for the eAuction settings just in case HB dies or you needa reinstall.


      also, if anything goes out of it's price range up or down you can always just ctrl-F and find whichever mat you're looking for if your list is really too long

      The OP has a good point, is there any profile or code that goes to the AH and posts everything in your inventory at the greater of current posted minimum (undercut) or vendor * x%? The OP reminds us that there is something in the ProfessionBuddy mining/herbing skill up profile that vendors all of the found herbs/ores in your inventory.... what could do this with everything you have? If there isn't anything like this a wise and beneficent programmer would do well to write this routine as many people would use it... call it Fire Sale or something...

      This is what I meant.

      I have my minute cycle routine set to 10minutes because my server is high pop and I'm always undercutting for quick selling reasons.

      Set gbank to true if you have tons of mats you will auction that you can't carry.

      And last but not least my percent is currently at 2.5 just because I felt it minimizes loss while still creating enough of a noticeable gap for the buyer. 40g stacks get undercut to 39, 20g stacks down to 19g50s etc.

      If you feel this is not enough then you can move the percentage higher.

      Are the settings folders shareable with eAuction? e.g. could you post them on HB forums as a starter for people? I don't plan to do use the cycle mode of it yet, just post everything, then go back to farming (single bot only) just like the ProfessionBuddy method.

      Thanks for the advice so far Pbnew

      How is that different from what eAuction does anyways?

      Markets 'suck' (for sellers) because bots fill the AH with tons of mats that took little effort to farm.... hypocrite.
