placing auctions with auctionator

Since there is no update yet for Auctioneer that I know, I started to use Auctionator instead since 4.0.1. There seems to be a new function/rule that mass posting with a single click is no longer possible, each posting requires a confirmation. I'm pretty active on the AH as it's one of the game aspects I enjoy most. With a couple of 100 auctions going on all the time, dragging and clicking would take quite a while. To make that process easier I made a simple macro to click the confirmation box.

1) Drag whatever to the 'Sell' tab so that the 'Create Auction' button becomes visible/active.
2) Put your mouse pointer on top of the button.
3) Enter in your command line (chat box): /run print(GetMouseFocus():GetName())
4) This should give you the name of the UI element you are currently mousing over. It appears in your chat screen. For this particular case it is 'Atr_CreateAuctionButton'
5) Make a macro /click Atr_CreateAuctionButton and drag it to your actionbar. I have it on 1.

So what I do: open bags + auction window. Alt+right click the item you want to auction, it will automatically appear in the auction window, and then I hit 1. Done. This is much faster than clicking, dragging and confirming a ton of auctions. Obviously I've configured my stack size and undercut price beforehand.

While most ppl will know this, I figured it might be helpful to post it for the others. Obviously this should work for other auction tools as well where you have to mouse click to confirm.

That's the new QA3. Works like a charm.

Using auction profit master myself for glyph crafting, but haven't found a way to easily list auctions the way auction(eer/ator) does it. I guess I'm just missing something.

Well, it worked fine for me.. Listed a bunch of gems and extra alchemy mats, so at least the appraiser part is working fine.

(got caught with a ton of extra alchemy transmute mats when they didn't remove the cool downs as expected...)

With Auction Pro Master, you have to add items to an item group.

In game:
/APM Config

Type in a name for a new list.
Check every box, so the category goes by the configuration you're about to do.
Rather then the defaults, listed elsewhere.

Go to the Add tab, and add any item (in inventory).
A given item can only be added to one group at a time.
If you want to have the item in another group, you'd have to remove it from an existing group first.
Off the bat, items won't be in any group.

Undercut value should be set to 1 copper.
I set bids to be 100% of the buyout.

You have a fall-back value, and should check to use that value.
This should be near the upper range you think the item will sell for.
Also set a minimum value for your gem/glyph.
If it goes below the minimum value, then it will be posted at the fallback.

Each of the sliders, that control stack size and evaluating prices, should be set to singles.

The other values (slider bars, towards the bottom) which control pricing, I set to 100%.
So it won't go above my maximum price, or undercut more then 1 copper.

If you need help in what dirs to delete, follow this link:

Unzip the new auctioneer suite 5.9 to addon dir and voilá!
Fully working Auctioneer... :)

For Auction Profit Master you can just use the commands:
/click AuctionProfitMasterPostButton
/click AuctionProfitMasterCancelButton

Using this on my five moonkin team to set up glyphs five times faster, as you can bind it and just spam it to all characters. :)

The BETTER replacement for QA3 is ZeroAuctions. I try APM and ZA works better (and VERY similar) to QA3:

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...oauctions.aspx

And the programer of ZA is a very ACTIVE player.

Care to explain why? :)

Because i'm using APM atm and does the job. So i'm wondering why ZA would be better? It seems very similar to QA / APM.

Well, the interface is very similar to the QA3, but my opinion is not relevant, because Zero, the adaptor programmer of ZA has published this comment:

Auction Profit Master

APM is another child born from Quick Auctions. It can be found here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...it-master.aspx

Just as myself, sapu94 (the project leader of APM), has large goals for his version and I have discussed joining his project to make it into one giant package. Personally I'm still a bit torn between teaming up and working on an alternative and would like you to select your preference. Do you think a merge would be for the good, or do you reckon I should attempt to make ZA larger myself?

If they work together we can have maybe the best ecconomic addon for Cataclysm.

PD; Sorry for my english
