[HB Botbase] Salesman - a very powerful and easy to use AH bot

[Inrego]

I I am pleased to announce that I have made a free version of my AH bot.

This AH bot is easy to set up (which items to sell, how many etc). It has a few settings to tune it to sell the auctions exactly as you want it.

I suppose a screenshot can say more than many words So here is a screenshot of the general config window:


All these settings are defaulted to what I recommend, so you don't need to change them at all.

Then, you make a list of the items you want to sell, and how many you want to keep on AH at all times.

• It will scan the AH to see if you have been undercut, and cancel your auctions if you have.
• It will post your auctions and undercut others with the amount you wish.
• If some of your auctions are sold, it will post some more to keep the amount you've configured on AH at all times.
• If someone have posted an auction below your minimum price - you can either choose to skip posting that item, ignoring the cheaper auction, undercut the cheaper auction or sell the item at your fallback price.

When it is done with a cycle (either everything in your list is on AH, or you don't have any more mats to post), you can choose either to wait a random time between X and Y, change botbase and load a profile (for example your farming profile), or to shut down wow and HB.

This bot works with all AH's in the game, except for Pandaria and Shattrath.

How to install:
This is a BotBase, so unzip it in your bots folder.

How to use:
- Select Salesman Lite as botbase
- Click Bot Config
- Click 'Manage AH Items'
- Add an item to the list by typing the name of an item in the textbox in the Name column.
- Set a minimum price and fallback price. What these prices mean, depends on your settings in the general settings window.
- Set a stacksize and amount of stacks. Note that you can sell the same item in different sizes (5x20, 10x5 etc..)
- Close the windows and start the bot.

Note that many common ingame addons interfere with Salesman. AddOns like TSM and probably many other addons with AH functionality or that alters your UI must be disabled.
If you don't disable, the bot might get stuck at posting items on AH, or it might not cancel your auctions when you've been undercut.

For the other developers out here: The botbase relies on an AH framework that I have developed and released as open source. If you wish to use it in your own plugins/whatever, PM me and I'll link you where you can find the source along with some steps to get started using it.

It's all up to your settings what it does after a cycle.. You can set it to change botbase and load profile when it's done, and that's what it'll do. It's up to your profile to get to the farming location correctly.

What's the diference from the lite for the full one?

Any plan to adding
Pandaria and Shattrath AHs? they are the best ones for ally.

You can see the differences on my website botHaven
Yes, I do plan to add Shattrath, but I'm not sure about Pandaria yet as it requires engineering.

[Genocyber]

But it can be 1 on engineering. For the convenience to have Auction, Mail, Bank, vendor all without to have to move, i think is a good deal changing my Ah man to one with engineering.

Thanks anyway

Didn't think about that. I'll have a look at it. The lite version aren't getting updated too often though, because it's a little troublesome to maintain 2 different versions. So I think as long as the free one works, it'll stay like that. And then I will add new features to the full.

[Genocyber]

Does the full version supports Pandarian?

I wanted to buy it before, this lite idea was great, so we can know the plugin

[Inrego]

Does the full version supports Pandarian?

No it doesn't yet, sorry. It will at some point when I got the time. But atm I'm a little busy with other features.

Can you please explain what exactly is a fallback price?

[Aegeus]

Can you please explain what exactly is a fallback price?

It's literally what it says it is. A price to fallback to when no other auctions of that type are currently posted. Say the market for [Rubber Dong] was at a median 50g, but suddenly people stopped posting them, you can now charge what you want as your [Rubber Dong] is the only one available on the AH. Most people fallback to around 400% crafting/vendor value.

What is this "botbase"? I have HB but i don't know how to start/use this bot. Anyone help?

[berryman13]

I see it is "lite" - but I cannot seem to find a website or anything for a full version, does it exist or will one be created at some point?
