WoW Auctioneer Settings - Vendor

These are some of the setting I use with the excellent Auctioneer addon for Warcraft. These are for bottom scanning for items that you can buy in the AH and sell to the nearest vendor for a profit.

These settings will allow you to buyout any item which will make you at least 50 silver profit. You can obviously set this lower - it depends how you value your time running from AH to mailbox to vendor.

If you also wish to bid on items allowing an easy profit, uncheck the box 'Never bid on items'. If you do this, you will need to add a time filter, otherwise you will find yourself tying up a lot of gold for items that are purchased by another player before the auction ends.

This shows a 2 hour setting:

Now click on the bottom scanner play button:

and then the auction scan button:

Auctioneer will now popup a window whenever it finds an item worth buying:

A lot of people don't bother checking the vendor prices of green (or blue) items before they stick them in the AH. Often, certain items are unpopular (like items with spirit or held in the off-hand) and will only sell in the AH for a gold or two. Meanwhile, the nearest vendor opposite the AH will happily buy any quantity for five or six gold. Their loss and our gain.

If any of this isn't clear, leave a comment and I'll record a video of the whole process.
