WARNING !!!Blizzard has initiated a PQR Banwave!
2014/01/22
This auction sniper requires (PQR - Rotation Bot). for functioning.
You may need to disable auction addons
Save your data to a separate file before updating the profile or it will be lost
WARNING: some "undocumented features" may appear if you launch profile on ruRU locale
Well, that's not an independent bot and I know that PQR profiles should go to "WoW Bot Maps And Profiles" but I believe it to be very special. I've made roughly 200k gold with it since 29th March till 1st April using only 2 (!) fresh 6$ accounts operating on 2 hottest russian servers: Gordunni and Soulflayer!
How it works
It scans neutral AH for items of chosen quality (blue and better by default) and then uses some criteria to decide whether to buy item or not. If item is worthy - bot will buy it within 1 second after it's spotted, no man can react that fast
Configs
It has no interface yet All changes should be done in PQR_NAH Sniper Config.lua file located in /PQR/Data/
How config looks like
What happens after the launch==GENERAL CONFIG==
rescan_delay=400 This is the delay in ms between scans. It prevents some glitches. Edit with caution! No point in setting it above 400.
min_lvl, max_lvl=0, 90 Plain and simple: it's a level range for scan
ignore_low_lvl_boes=true Ignores lowlevel boes and recipes if true. Set false if you don't want to ignore them. NOTE: you can add some lowlevel items to exceptions
min_quality=blue Minimun quality for scan. I recommend to leave it blue so bot will have to scan only 1 (or 2 in rare cases) page
critical_ratio=2 This is the price ratio for exception items (you'll read about them later) used to decide if item worth buying. It equals market price divided by neutral AH price.
max_price=50 Maximum buyout price for non-exception items
==AUTOIGNORE CONFIG==
enable_autoignore=false Automatically ignores those who send you ragewhispers.
==YOUR SAVED DATA==
scammer_list={--format is ['Name']='comment' NOTE: Name must start with capital letter!
['Testscammer']='scam'
} Some bad guys will create lvl 1 chars and try to get some money from your bot. Ignore them!
ignore_list={--format is [item_id]='comment'
[1234567]='sample ignored trash'
}
This is the list of ignored items. Plain and simple. For example you can add vanilla disenchanting shards here.
exception_list={--format is [item_id]=market_price NOTE: these items are so valuable that they will be bought even from scammers
[1234567]=100 --sample exception with market price of 100g
}
The most interesting part here. You can create a list of most valuable items and define an individual price for each one. I use slightly decreased market price. You can add everything you want: TCG mounts, high-end BOE epics, pets etc.
------------------------
Bot will load auction pages as fast as possible (~every 0.5 seconds) and check if items are worthy. If they are - bot buys them
Which items are worthy?
-They must not be blacklisted
-Non-exception items' price must be below max_price and seller must not be marked as scammer
-Exception items must have at least 100% profitability (by default)
I've used my mad paint skillz to create a schematic of how my profile decides if item worth buying. Green is the data on which decision is based, red is the config parameter which you have to set, blue is the condition necessary to pass to the next step. SNIPING SCHEME

Some safety measures & how to make your botting account live longer
This method will earn you tons of gold if you do it on the right server but get ready to be banned within 1-2 weeks. You'll be inevitably mass reported by people who lose thousands of gold b/c of your operations.
Autoignoring ragewhispers
Due to safety reasons autoreply function was replaced by simple autoignore. You can turn it on by setting enable_autoignore true.
-DON'T RUN IT ON YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU WANT IT PERMABANNED!!! Use cheap battlechests with lvl 1 toons instead.
-NEVER talk to auctioner if you find your toon away from the initial position. You were teleported by GM and he'll ban you once you open AH again. Just log out and take a break. Turn teleport protection on.
-use crosserver zones to hide and avoid direct reports (ones made by righ-clicking your portrait). I strongly recommend you to use PvE servers to hide or you'll be ganked.
-change your botting toon at least 1 time a day. Delete the previous one.
-don't bot 24/7
-GMs seem to be less active during the weekend. Start botting on Thursday or Friday.
-UNCOFIRMED: create a trial account and make a toon with the name of deleted one there. Ppl report you in an old way (not by righ-clicking your portrait) and there's a small chance that reports will be 'redirected' to a newly created toon.

Have fun, make money!
CHANGES
03/04/13 included blacklist into public release
04/04/13 removed min_profit condition because it was glitchy and I think that profitability check is enough
05/04/13 Fixed an issue with sorting not applying. Added rescan delay of 400ms.
06/04/13 Added few items to blacklist and included part of my exception list (all BOE mounts and some other items) into public release. Reports of bought items are now more detailed and include item's name and ID.
08/04/13 A big update! Put all configs into separate ability, significantly extended the blacklist, integrated autoanswering function into profile.
18/04/13 A new big update! All configs and logics are now placed in separate LUA files and loaded only once per launch. Now you can create a huge database of item IDs by extracting data from Wowhead's of Undermine Journal's XMLs and it won't hinder performance of your bot!
31/05/13 Added teleport protection.
09/07/13 Teleport protection was removed. It will return soon.
01/08/13 Autoreply function was removed due to safety reasons.
