1.) Decide it is time to implement autoselling
2.) Cock up the code
3.) Log on, open Vendor Dialog
4.) Sell almost everything
5.) Panic
6.) Decide to check buyback, Open Vendor Dialog again
7.) Sell remaining
8.) Panic again, log out to disable addon
9.) Realise this loses buybacks
10.) Panic more
11.) Come to terms with loss
12.) Raise a ticket to Gm explaining stupidity and begging for mercy


Next morning

1.) Log on

Ouch.

Need help writing an AddOn for auto-sell that isn't gonna hose your inventory? I've written two so far, I could share one or work on a new one that fits your needs.

Let me know

Thanks for the offer......very nice of you.

It's ok....I forgot to put the quality test in. In fact I just iterated through my bags selling each item (I hadn't completed the code)

It is only a few lines in my current homegrown addon....only want very basic functionality

Nah....that was the Darwin bit of the title...I stupidly half wrote the code myself and cocked up

My favourite auto-vendor event was with a 3rd party addon, ATSW (advanced tradeskill window). My 70 rogue main at the time was an alchemist. I needed to buy the vials that were 5g a stack to make some potions. ATSW would conveniently auto-buy what you need when you opened an appropriate vendor.

My inventory (3x18 slot bag, 1x 20 - back in TBC days) was almost completely empty - I like clean bags.


I open the vendor, and to my horror it bought as many vials as it could to fill the bags. It ran out of gold shortly before filling the bags (I wasn't too rich, only had in the hundreds of gold on the toon). Then I had to vendor them back at quarter-price...didn't want to fillout a GM ticket as I figured they'd wave the "ADDON! ADDON!" wand and say I'm screwed. I did have to vendor most of them back, I didn't even have enough gold to post the auctions of the potions I made with the vials I actually needed <blush>
