AuctionMaster

4 - Price per item aswell

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

What I miss alot from Auctioneer is the ability to display not only full stacks, but price per item too and sort on this. So it can very easily be seen when an item is worth to buy, no matter if it is full stack or some weird amount. I have seen so many times someone ignoring a stack of 10 LPS that costs 210 but instead purchasing 10 of mine posted 1 by 1 for 25g each, because he can't see the single item price.

Please provide any additional information below.

    I would realize it as a new tab, with the option to replace the default one from blizzard. Then everybody can decide on it's own, whether he want to stay with the old look, or want the new, improved one.

    Definitely a nice challenge. Perhaps I will do it after ticket 3 (Derrekks suggestion for automatically selecting the appropriate sell bid/buyout prices).

    Yep, new column to the default UI :( An example of a default listing in the AH, random stacks, random prices, hard to get which is good price and which not, especially if you have 2 pages of these:

    20xTerocone 24g
    14xTerocone 18g
    08xTerocone 11g
    17xTerocone 16g

    Now, considering the average scanned price is 1.20g per item, what will the list look, sorted on best buy:

    17xTerocone 16g 0.94g  78%
    20xTerocone 24g 1.20g 100%
    14xTerocone 18g 1.29g 108%
    08xTerocone 11g 1.38g 115%

    Now, it is clear which one is best buy for bucks ;)
    AuctionMaster have the the module to make seller's life easy, what miss is the buyer's module. Combine this with addon like AHSearch, which can remember searches and with hotkeys can easily go through all your favourite items (like consumables, trade goods, motes, primals, scrolls, whatever) and the daily AH shopping gets down to like 20 seconds while you don't miss any good purchase

    ps: If adding such thing to the default UI is a pain, can it be made as a separate... "enhanced auction" tab?

    Do you mean a new column in blizzard's original search list?

    I have thought about it (somebody suggested it already) and perhaps I will do it someday. But it's a real big task, so I won't do it in the near future. But when I'm done with the other, smaller tasks, I will consider it.
