AutoProfit adds a small icon to merchant frames that allows you to sell every gray item in your inventory to the vendor instantly. You can also configure it to sell certain white items too.
Trudging through 80 slots of inventory looking for vendor trash after a night of adventuring can take an annoyingly long time. AutoProfit turns what used to take several minutes of clicking and searching into a single button press.
Features
Instantly sell all your gray items to any merchant without needing to sort through your inventory looking for them. Mouse over the tooltip to see how much money you'll earn from the junk currently in your inventory.
Darkmoon Faire items are automatically ignored by AutoProfit and don't need any special configuration.
Use
Simply unzip into your World of Warcraft Addons directory.
Whenever you want to purge your inventory of gray items, visit a merchant and click on the money icon at the top right corner of the merchant frame or configure AutoProfit to automatically sell items without a button press.
Advanced Usage
/autoprofit item link
This command will add an exception to AutoProfit's logic (which is pretty simple.) If you link a gray item, AutoProfit will no longer sell that item automatically. If you add a white item, AutoProfit will sell that item. By default all gray items are sold and all white items aren't. Using this command you can override the default behavior.
To remove an item from the exceptions list, simply repeat the command.
/autoprofit list
This command will list all items currently on your exception list.
/autoprofit number
Remove an item from that location in your exception list. Use /autoprofit list to show all the items in your exceptions list and what number they are.
/autoprofit purge
Remove all items from your exception list.
/autoprofit silent
Toggle AutoProfit's sale reports on and off.
/autoprofit auto
Toggle automatic selling on and off. Turning this feature on will allow AutoProfit to sell junk items whenever you visit a merchant. You won't have to click on any buttons and the normal AutoProfit 3D treasure button will be hidden.
Please let me know if you find any bugs or have any questions.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
