Auction Coach
A simpler, plain-English alternative to TradeSkillMaster for players who want to make gold without learning a complex system. It tells you what your stuff is worth, what to sell and what to keep, with no groups, operations or price formulas.
TSM is a toolbox. This is a coach.
Hover any item and Auction Coach tells you, in plain English, what it's worth and what to do with it. No setup, no price strings.
Everything in 0.4.0
What's it worth
Tooltips say in plain English what an item is worth, how many you have across your characters, whether a vendor pays more and how hard the competition is.
Hidden treasure
The My Stuff tab adds up the AH value of everything sellable across all your characters and your warband bank.
What to sell
The Sell tab lists every tradeable item in your bags with one suggested price and whether to post, hold or vendor it.
Post helper
Suggests a price when you put an item in the AH sell box, with the chance it sells in time. You still click Post.
Deals
Items listed well below their usual lowest price, with the profit after the AH cut. Buying is up to you.
Undercut timing
Learns how long your listings stay the cheapest, so you know which items get undercut fast.
Seller styles
Casual, active or camper. Advice changes with how often you check the AH, and contested items are flagged.
Vendor and delete protection
Warns before you sell or delete something valuable, and offers to buy back a valuable item you just sold.
Sale messages
A chat line tells you what each sale made after the AH cut.
