Snatching items from AH without manual scanning

[razor321]

So what snatching means? Basically it means buying underpriced items from AH and reselling them (this is potentially very high, although could be long-term profit). Those items include: old rare recipes (Vanilla/SWP), transmog items, rare pets, mounts. You have several options on how to approach snatching. You could of course search for every item on your list and buy them if they are low. Or you could have Auctionator/Auctioneer/TSM set-up so you can search for snatch list and compare if the price is low enough. All those ways are ineffective and time costly. What I will be using in this guide is website called Wowuction:

WoWuction - WoW Auction House Online Tool

Wowuction basically scans every auction house on EU/US and stores all important data about items (Market Price/ How many were posted/How many were sold...). This is really awesome in itself, because you no longer have to scan your AH manually (it is possible to export data into wow addon and I might write guide about it later). We will be using service called Broker. So follow these steps:

1. Go to WoWuction - Log in to make WoW gold
2. Register your account (Google/Facebook/Yahoo account needed)
3. Select your home EU/US realm
4. Go to tab called "Broker"
5. Go to tab called "Import rules"
6. Copy the text

7. Paste it into Import rules window
8. Click Import Rules
9. Wait for email notifications
10. Buy items if they are underpriced (click on items and find its Market Price)
11. Try to re-sell items for their real market price
12. Wait for some buyer and profit


So Wowuction scans your AH ~ every hour. And every time it checks whether there are any items from your snatch list on your AH right now. Then it notifies you on email with something similar to this:

You have new alerts!

-----------, Rule 426a:
1 Formula: Enchant Boots - Vitality found, min buyout per item 555.56g


P.S.:I wrote the guide myself, although I have to give props to calianna from Consortium for compiling the original snatch list (he/she also updates it with new items, so it might be worth checking out)

[Swiftyxz]

Thanks so much for this! +Rep Thanks for sharing with the community!

[baichii]

Nice will check this out when i get home, +Rep Seems awesome tho!

[reverzer]

Nice share, thanks!

[razor321]

Thank you all for positive replies.

Yes there is search feature on site. Another option is to check - Broker - Manage Rules - Find item and click on it
Sometimes if it is really rare item I advise you to double check market price on The Undermine Journal

[vorn10]

Nice + rep but how can i import it to TSM/auctioneer?

[Unholyshaman]

I'm a big fan of using WoWuction myself, the owner of the website is a really friendly guy who loves engaging with the community.

@vorn10, you can import WoWu lists into TSM dealfinding or TSM shopping lists ingame. I believe you just import it like any other normal list.

[SuperKop]

The pastebin link isn't coming up at all. Do you have another link for it?

vorn10 was faster , his post has snatch list from pastebin

You can go to Broker tab- Manage rules and there is little export button in upper right corner of the table. Then select TSM dealfinding

[Unholyshaman]

Just go ingame and paste that what i pasted in Broker?

Vorn10 gave you an import list via pastebin for WoWuction.
1) Import it to WoWuction.
2) Then click the export button and choose either as TSM Dealfinding, or as TSM ShoppingList depending on your preferences.
3) Use that exported code ingame with TSM.
