About Broker_Garbage

Have you ever been in a situation where you just can't turn in a quest because your inventory is full? Trying to figure out an item to delete that's cheap and won't make you loose much gold? This is one of the many situations where Broker_Garbage makes your life easier.

What it does

Broker_Garbage shows your cheapest item(s) for easily freeing bag space. It uses your auction addon of choice for pricing, including disenchant prices if available. If you don't want to throw away that precious [Broken I.W.I.N. Button], put it on your Keep List and Broker_Garbage will keep it. Forever. Really! And those [Shiny Fish Scales]? Just put them on your Junk List.

Broker? As in buying apartments?

This addon is a LibDataBroker plugin and as such requires a display addon to work properly (i.e. to show funky tooltips). Some are Bagnon (WoWInterface, Curse), DockingStation (WoWInterface), NinjaPanel (very minimalistic) (WoWInterface, Curse) or Bazooka (WoWInterface, Curse).

Features

You can disable almost all of these in the options panel. Default values are non destructive, so you don't loose anything by just installing the addon.

  • sells equipment you're not interested in (e.g. cloth on a warrior)
  • show unopened containers & clams reminder in the tooltip
  • manage your items using four simple lists - Keep, Junk, Sell, Fixed Price
  • lists can be character specific or shared account wide
  • lists support single items, Equipment Manager item sets or item categories (using LibPeriodicTable)
  • limit items such as Light Feather (never keep more than X of these)

Issues

If you have and issue, feel free to use GitHub's or Curse's issue tracker. I'll get notified of any posts there immediately and updates to fix your problem will find their way there first as well! In your bug report (or feature suggestion) include any information I could need. Such information could be:

  • A stack trace/lua error message
  • Which version are you using? Where did you get it?
  • Is it connected to an action, item, character class? If so, which?
  • What is happening - and what would you expect to happen, instead?

Further information, hints, etc

How to disable it temporarily?

Hold down your chosen disable key (SHIFT by default). If you want to prevent looting or selling, hold it until the corresponding frame shows up!

Tooltip Shortcuts

  • SHIFT + Click: Delete the item on that line
  • CTRL + Click: Add the item on that line to your Keep List
  • ALT + Click: Add the item on that line to your Fixed Price List

How to add item categories?

Right-click on the blue "+" button on the options panel. Then choose your desired entry.

How to limit an item?

This on any list except for Fixed Price List. Use your mouse wheel to increase/decrease the count, hold SHIFT while doing so to move 10 steps at a time.

What of those question mark item icons?

Those are items your client doesn't know yet. Hover them to update the display.

Anything else?

Broker_Garbage uses the slash command /garbage (or /garb in short). For more detailed information on how things work, have a look at the readme.txt files in the addon folders.

    Wrong versions

    The latest files in Curse are marked to be for version 5.2.0, while their .toc claims them still be for older version.

  • #217

    Ever since the update before last, my junk is no longer being sold at vendors. Was some setting changed that I'm missing? The sell all button is grayed out, say there's nothing to be sold, when there definitely is.

  • #218

    Hi dragoron,

    Can you please open a ticket at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/broker_garbage/tickets/ ? There've been quite a few changes and updates in the last couple of days so please make sure to update to the latest (alpha) version. Any further information, such as what are your sell rules etc. might be helpful, too.

  • #219

    It looks like it's not selling junk that appears in my engineering bag, just as an FYI.

  • #214

    Been using this addon for a long time, a great addon, I love it to bits.

    The 5.2 patch though, is making it behave badly. After 5.2 landed, the addon sold greys that were in my bags. It took me a day to notice, and unfortunately I wasn't able to get them retrieved through either the item retrieval system or a GM request (one item is irreplaceable, so suffice to say, I'm super sad about it hiccuping like this). I wasn't sure if the items disappeared because of 5.2 or because of the addon, but I was able to get some of the items back by farming, and tested it. It is definitely the addon that sold them. Details:

    1) Six items are on my "Exception" list to not vendor. These items have been on the list and in my bags for up to several years, and have not been vendored before despite using this addon for a long time.

    2) The items are still currently on the exception list. I can view them (which is why I knew which items I had to go farm back up).

    3) I've replaced four of the six items. They are still on the exception list. The icon to "vendor all" is still highlighted, despite no other grey vendor items being in my bags.

    4) I tested the vendor all button and it again sold all my grey vendor items that I confirmed again are on my exception list.

     

    I've had to shut off the addon so I don't accidentally vendor the items again (two are archeology items that are a pain in the butt to grind back out). There's no errors popping up and I'm not sure what to add other than summarize it as "the addon is currently vendoring grey items that are listed on the exception 'do not vendor' list". I updated the addon when 5.2 landed, and I updated it again today "just in case" (I delete the original folders from the Interface/Addons folder, then copy the new version over... I have not deleted the WTF files though).

    Just to test it, I removed the config files from the WTF folder, re-added the greys to the list, and then checked the vendor all. It still wants to sell the items despite being added to a fresh install/list of exceptions. Definitely broken.

  • #222

     

    Great to hear that it's back to normal! I'm sorry Broker_Garbage caused you to lose your items. Did you try the item recovery tool from Blizzard? It sometimes takes a few days until an item shows up but I have found most of my deleted/sold items in that list as long as they're rare or higher quality.

  • #221

    Good news! The fix for the version released on the 23 (or 25?) worked! it no longer tries to sell my excluded greys!  Thanks!

  • #220

    thanks for checking into it ckaotik!  I haven't had a chance to update it yet, but I will asap (I hate having to vendor junk manually!)  I'll post if it fixes the bug or not. On a good note, I managed to replace 5 of the 6 lost items in about two hours (the one archeology one was annoying since I had zero reason to do any solves in that particular race). Sad that I couldn't get one item returned (one of the lost treasures of Pandaria, souldbound when looted, only lootable once per character) but I'll get over it.  :)

  • #216

    Hi fordarkness,

    to put it simply, that bug sucks >.< I pushed a new version last night that should fix this and I'll create a 'proper' release soon-ish but for now it should once again work. I am really sorry for your troubles but to put it simple, the addon does incorporate rather complex logic that is sometimes difficult to grasp even for me :(
    I do try my best though!

  • #212

    ckaotik - please note that your last checkin 5.1v5 was not correctly packaged up and propagated by curse. A package for the nolib* version was made, but that was it.  Version 5.1v4 is still considered the latest release; even if you select to install libraries seperately for it in the curse downloader, it will install 5.1v4 instead 5.1v5.

    Its a shame because I've been hitting and investigating some issues related I think to fixed price items not selling because (I think) they had a negative valuation and that this was a bug you had fixed immediately in 5.1v5 but since everyone is still getting 5.1v4 its still living in the wild.

    *  there's a seperate issue with the nolib versions and the unfit lib I've opened a bug on

  • #213

    Thanks for the info! It's Murhphy's Law all over - the single time I don't check the package, it goes wrong...

    You can find the latest version also on github.com/ckaotik/Broker_Garbage, though the libraries there might not be up to date. You're also right about LibUnfit, I needed an updated version that's only on GitHub ... Maybe I'll add it to BG's embedded libs and move the include below the no-lib strip. It's currently included anyhow for those GitHub commits but that might not be such a good idea ...  I'll think about it tonight ;)

    Just downloaded this and giving it a try.
    Been having some problems with
    A) the 'always loot items on your keep list' feature - doesn't seem to work at all.
    B) Destroying items in your inventory - again, doesnt seem to be triggered even when i set the "minimum free slots" to 30.

    Aside from that its a great addon so far, autoselling items at vendors has worked great, just a shame i have to go to a vendor to clear my inventory of trash :)

  • #211

    Hi Madmagnus,

    I also noticed the 'Always loot Keep items' issue just yesterday. The new alpha version 5.1v1release-2 fixes that I hope ;) Your second issue is related to auto destroying, do you have that option checked? I'll look at that over the next days still.

    Selling junk gets easier when you have a Jeeves, MOLL-Y or a tundra mammoth ;)

  • #208

    Hey guys, I'll check what's up with this asap, but 5.1 only goes live today (EU) and I'll not be home that early. Keep your fingers crossed fo a fix by tomorrow!
