About Auction Snatch
Auction Snatch keeps a saved list of items you want to buy from the Auction House, and automatically scans the Auction House for every item on your list. It's very fast and will happen before you have time to type anything. If an auction is found, a prompt will appear to ask you what you want to do. The selections in the Prompt are self-explanatory.
Many mods keep track of items you want to remember or search for - but I found it tedious to keep selecting items in the list. Auction Snatch automates that process. I no longer worry about missing the rare Hyacinth Macaw in the auction house!
Directions: A new tab will appear on the Auction House Frame. Clicking that will bring up the interface. Type in your search queries, hit enter, and then when your list is complete, click 'Start Search'.
- * * * * * * Features * * * * * * * *
- Checking the 'Auto Search' button will automatically start searching when you open the auction house. Or you can hold Shift as you open the Auction House.
- 'Esc' will always close any open frames.
- Items can be added to an 'ignore list'. Next search, you will not be bothered by that item. You may also ignore items above a certain price with the 'too expensive' button.
- Add items to your list by shift-clicking chat links.
- Double-click an item while at the Auction House to search for just that item.
- Items in the list may be repositioned by dragging them.
- A single click in the list will bring up a small option box for that item.
- A small manual override field appears at the prompt dialogue, to manually override the 'too expensive' conditions. Very handy if you get lots of results from a search and don't want to click 'too expensive' for each one. (Eg. Searching for all Decks under 200g). IF you don't like how the field only accepts gold values, you may change this with the command '/as copperoverride'. And vice versa, if you don't like entering copper values due to all those zeros.

any news daxdax?
Very Nice Addon. Very comfortable. But please change the input field. its always active and this is pain in the ass.
It shouldn't be active unless auctionsnatch has the focus.
Ie. click on the main auction house window and auctionsnatch should go to the back, and no longer have focus.
if that's not happening, then i'll fix it. Just double checking first.
hi daxdax,
doens't work for me. it's such a nice addon. only this point is annoying. the input field should only be active by clicking it. focused or not. would be nice if you fix it.
cheers
Just starting using this addon today.
I was at the neutral auction house moving glyphs from one wow account to another. On one wow account I was using multi-auction to post glyphs, on the other account I was using Auction Snatch with an item "glyph".
Auction Snatch will not buy all the items. I press the buy item button over and over but after about 4 or 5 items, Auction Snatch stops doing anything. I have to press the "Start Search" button again.
When I'm down to 2 items let in the auction house search results, Auction Snatch stops. I have to press Start Search to buy one item and then Start Search again to buy the last item.
Now that it works, I would like to suggest a new feature.
I have in some occasions been so unfortunate to click 'Buyout' when i was supposed to click 'Next in list'. Sometimes its ok, but in most occasions i get ripped off.
I would like a tickmark that enable/diable the bid and buyout buttons.
I am soooooo happy now - everything works again
Thank you to all that contributed to the solution.
AuctionSnatch is working again.
Please post any bugs you find here.
The reason this addon broke with patch 4.3 is because the API for GetAuctionItemInfo changed.
It now returns 14 values instead of 13, and the item that Blizzard added, "levelColHeader", is in the middle of the list. Here's documentation for the API...
http://www.wowpedia.org/API_GetAuctionItemInfo
I managed to get AuctionSnatch working again by adding the missing parameter in the results list wherever GetAuctionItemInfo is called in auctionsnatch.lua
I don't know if my fix is 100% but it seems to be fully operational now.
I have a work around untill someone with programing skills can come up with a fix.
when you type in an item to add to the list, take the last letter of the item off!
for example.... instead of Small radiant shard
type Small radiant shar
this works! i have renamed all items in my list and it has been working great!
Thank you for the anwer. However as you write it is a workaround. I am aware of the work around, but that is not what i want.
But now it does not work at all in patch 4.3
The best auction tool ever and it does not work anymore ''sniff''
Im not playing WoW anymore, but if you have a coding change for me I can make that easily.
daxdax,
I patched it for 4.3 as described in my earlier comment...
http://files.tankadin.com/auctionsnatch-r12-patched.zip
The following is from the auctionsnatch.lua:
["link"] = "|cff0070dd|Hitem:11177:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:14|h[Small Radiant Shard]|h|r",
The letters 'cff0070dd' is shown in front of the name in the auctionsnatch window, which results in that you cannnot doubleclick to search without the letter getting in front of the name in the searchfield.
It is something with the ItemRarityColor. Blizzard changed somthing in Cataclysm
It seem to happen in 'function ASscrollbar_Update()'. But this function is too cryptic for a non-coder like me.
Anyone with afix?
