About ItemAge
Records how long you have had an item and displays it in your bags/bank and/or tooltip. Stacks of equal items will have separate ages. Notes for items can be attached to tooltip. Counts how many times an item has been on auction.
New in ItemAge v0.12
[fix] Bug that would in certain cases cause the auction-count to not update
[fix] Certain settings would cause wrong age
The addon
I made this addon because my bankers are always loaded with items and I loose track of how long I have had the different things in my bags. ItemAge will keep track of items' ages for you. It tracks individual items/stacks, so two equal items or stacks may (and will) have different ages.
The age can be displayed directly on the item in your bags, and/or in the item's tooltip.
Auction
ItemAge will also track how many times you have put an item up for auction. This is displayed in the tooltip alongside the item's age.
Notes
You can attach your own notes to items. Even separate notes for equal items. Personally, I use this facility remember how much I payed for an item and sometimes where I got it from. A nice feature if you for example buy stuff from the auction-house just for resale.
To use notes, you must set up a hot-key in WoW's "Key Bindings" from the game's option-menu. Find the section for ItemAge near the bottom, and set a key for notes. When this has been done, you can press this key whenever you mouse-over an item to open a dialog-box where you can enter text. The entered text can be as long as you like.
Supported items
Most items in WoW is trackable. However, items you have bought from a vendor will basically never be trackable. This is due to how WoW generates the items. A vendor-bought item will be generic and undistinguishable from another vendor-bought item.
There are also some add-ons out there that will change all the in-game item-links to such a degree that it removes the Blizzard-supplied trace-data. If this is the case, it will make most (if not all) items untrackable.
Options
The options are available with the command "/age". These are:
bags -> Bag-display on/off
bank -> Bank-display on/off
gbank -> Guild-bank on/off
tooltip - Display in tooltip on/off
Note that guild-bank does usually not show anyway because of WoW's handling of these items. Some items does however display.
ItemAge can also be assigned a key so you can press a key to show/hide the display whenever you want to check the ages. This is very handy for non-banker toons, and can be assigned from WoW's standard key-binding interface.
Stacks of items
Many items are stackable, like leather and cloth. If you already have a stack that is not full and you receive one more item, WoW will merge the new item into your old stack. The "new" stack will be registered with the age of the old stack.
This is particularly important to notice when retrieving unsold items from the AH and you already have a half-full stack in your bags of the same item.

I type /age bank
and see nothing. Should say on or off so I know it worked.
Is there an update in the works for version 4.0.1?
Thanks,

In the meantime, I'm going to download this and see how well it works for that purpose.
I do however have some doubts as to the usability of such an addon.
And also a way to toggle the tooltip display on and off like you can for the bank/bag display?
However there are some bugs to this. When used with Bagnon, if the bag command is turned on, there are often empty spaces with what seems to be random times on them. Also things that have the correct time in their tooltip may have a whole other time on the bag display that seems to be incorrect.
This addon has been EXACTLY what I have been looking for.. I needed a way to know how long I'd been hanging on to all these old glyphs. Thanks for the reply and I really hope you get to throwing a quick update in ASAP =)
I will have to look into that a bit more.
I am having the same issue as a few other people with the mailbox.
When I open mail that has multiple attachments, ItemAge seems to block the propler tooltip from all the attachements, except for the first one.
For example, I open a piece of mail that has 3 attachemnts, the first item is a piece of light leather, the next item is a sword, and the third item is a pair of leg armor. Before I take the item, if I mouseover the leather, it will show the proper tooltip for the leather. But when I mouseover the sword and/or the leg armor, the tooltip still will show the light leather info.
I have found that as soon as I disable ItemAge, the proper tooltips display correctly, but when it is enabled, the displayed tooltip is always for that first item in that piece of mail.
Any ideas what is causing this?
Thanks,
BJR
That's just the way of the world.
Updates on the new project will come eventually.
Sorry for posting this here, but Curse is messing up for the n'th time, and I can't edit the description.
New in v0.03:
A single function for other addons to retrieve the age of items (read the API.txt file)
