Disclaimer(s):
  1. I'm in no-way-responsible for the loss of gold through the actions of the bot base. Calculations are thoroughly tested through NUnit and ran before every release to minimize chances of bugs slipping in;
  2. I'm in no-way affiliated with WoWUction and/or TradeSkillMaster. If for any unforeseen reason they decide to close their API services, we'll have to find other services;
  3. Item conversions for Milling, Disenchanting and Prospecting come from TradeSkillMaster and may not always be up-to-date. Those have to be manually copied/re-coded on updates;
  4. The screenshots above and on the product thread may not always be up-to-date, if you have doubts please contact me.
  5. Upon start of the botbase, an request is made to a tracker site. This site keeps track how many users are using my bot daily. The information is kept up to 3 months.
  6. The BuddyStore rules state that refunds are permanent.
  7. The botbase sends names of auction owners back and forth to a server for our blacklisting feature;


Possibly troublesome addons:

  • Auc-Advanced causes lua errors;
  • TradeSkillMaster, can bug out the purchase code;
  • Screenrecorders can cause injection timeouts for ItemInfo;

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q) I pressed start but nothing is happening? [#AUCTIONING]
[A) Although I really want it to be a 1-click solution, some values have to be set. Make sure you have a proper WoWUction key or u picked RobotoDB. It's also a requirement to set up items u want to buy, but if u have no clue, there's a few buttons under help that will create lists for u.

Q) Why can't I use TradeSkillMaster as Price source? [#AUCTIONING]
A) They don't like botters at all!

Q) Does Greedy support the selling/buying of Battle Pets? [#AUCTIONING]
A) No, this feature is still in development.

Q) Can Greedy buy auctions for low and relist them higher? [#AUCTIONING]
A) Yes. You'll have to setup the same item(s) under buy and sell auctions.

Q) If I set it to buy 50 of {ItemName}, will it stop buying at that point? [#AUCTIONING]
A) Yes. Greedy will count for the items u already have in possession and subtract that from the wanted value.

Q) What's the difference between Default. Price and Snipe. Price under buying of auctions? [#AUCTIONING]
A) The Default. Price is the market price, as set in ur settings. The Snipe. Price is the price with the buying % modifier from the settings.
A default price of
​

Q) Can I blacklist a player and/or alt, to not-undercut his auctions in the future? [#AUCTIONING]
A) Yes. Enter the characters name, including server name - if he's not on your server - in the 'Other Characters' text box.
BankieBob, BetterSalesman, Salesman-Kazzak, Alt
​

Q) Why does it stop shortly after I pressed start? [#COMPATIBILITY]
A) This is most likely caused by incompatibility issues, and it should print the cause of the early stop in the log.

Q) Why is it not purchasing any auctions? [#COMPATIBILITY]
A) This is most likely caused by incompatibility issues with in-game addons. Please try disabling a few addons, and report back if solved.

Q) Can I import my settings from AHBuddy, AHBot or Salesman into Greedy? [#IMPORT]
A) Yes, browse to Inventory > Import/Preset > Click on the corresponding button.

Q) Can I import items from Auctioneer, Auctionator or TSM 2.0? [#IMPORT]
A) Yes, browse to Inventory > Import/Preset > Paste the Shopping List/Item list into the textbox and click [Add Items].

Q) Why can't I import my AH-Omation settings? [#IMPORT]
A) I've contacted the author, but the profile's settings file does not support the exporting/importing of settings.

Q) Why can't I enable/disable some features in the interface? [#INTERFACE]
A) Feature's that are not entirely completed have their toggles disabled.

Q) Can I see what changes were made/ what the progress on a feature is? [#INTERFACE]
A) Yes, through the Changelog box under General and an actual list under Trello.

Q) Why is there a loading circle in the Inventory view? [#INTERFACE]
A) Because the Inventory is populated on a background thread. Too prevent errors, the control is then blocked until the operation is complete or cancelled.

Q) The loading circles are not dissapearing, it seems to go on forever? [#INTERFACE]
]A) This could be caused due to an error on a background thread, please try to refresh by clicking [refresh] or selecting another tab momentarily.

Q) Is there any way to make the Interface bigger? [#INTERFACE]
]A) Yes, just drag the edges to increase/decrease the size.

Q) Is there any way to monitor what the bot is doing? [#INTERFACE]
A) Yes, the Goal and Activity text is modified upon execution of operations. 'Searching for {ItemName} on Page {1/2}' for example.

Q) What is the difference between the Custom and Automated pricing grids? [#INTERFACE]
A) Items residing under the custom grids will not be auto updated. This means that the prices are static after entering, and will not be updated when the data file changes.

Q) Is there any way I can see which items the bot has posted/bought on the Auctionhouse? [#INTERFACE]
A) Yes, browse to Auctions -> History. This will view the category, count, itemid, name, value and date the item has been posted or bought.

Q) Why can't I decrease/increase the download interval for WoWuction/TradeSkillMaster past a certain point? [#INTERFACE]
A) To prevent faulty settings, the validation keeps u from setting a too low or high value. Both providers will throttle u for making too many requests, resulting in errors during downloads.

Q) Why can't I leave/click somewhere else in the Interface after clicking in/on a control? [#INTERFACE]
A) To prevent faulty settings, there's validation in place for certain controls. You'll need to enter something in the right format, hovering over the red error mark will show a popup with additional information on what is wrong.

Q) Greedy is listing items I don't even have in my bag, why is it doing that? [#INVENTORY]
A) Greedy also shows the items residing in ur personal and reagent bank. If the guild bank is open, or has been visited - it will also list those.

Q) What does 'Failed to get ItemInfo on {ItemId}' mean? [#INVENTORY]
A) Greedy was unable to retrieve item information for that specific id. Could be caused by [1] missing entry in data file, [2] not cached yet by the WoW client or [3] bad ItemId.

Q) Can I export my Greedy settings into a AHBuddy, AHBot or Salesman format? [#EXPORT]
A) Currently, no. Could be implemented in the future though.

Q) Can I export my Greedy settings for a friend? [#EXPORT]
A) Yes, you can individually export your buy and/or sell items.

Q) If I export my settings, does it also include my personal API keys? [#EXPORT]
A) No, those will all be automatically removed to preserve security.

[Q) Singular say's it's X minutes since Greedy last called Singular, is this a problem? [#ROUTINE]
A) No, Greedy doesn't call the combat routine until we need to, e.g. we're in combat.

[Q) My routine is no longer attacking mobs while moving from location A to B [#ROUTINE]
A) When moving from A to B, Greedy tries to ignore enemy mobs when the player is above lvl 98.

[Q) When did I receive the latest update? [#UPDATES]
A) The Date next to the change log, is the last date the current bot instance was updated.

[Q) Am I using the Beta or Release version? [#UPDATES]
A) Next to the Release Type label, it would say Beta for Beta and Release for Release.

[Q) The date and version are mismatching [#UPDATES]
A) This could be me, forgetting to increase the numbers. If this occurs, use the date as indication over the version number.

Additional Information

[SIZE=+1]Thread Management Rules[/SIZE]
The Support thread for a Buddy Store product is meant for:
  • Feature requests
  • Constructive criticism with specific details
  • Bug reports with a log attached
    Ref: [post=378165][Guide] How to attach your log[/post]​
Any thing else in a Buddy Store product Support thread is considered 'off topic' and may be deleted. Examples include, but are not limited to:
  • Price discussions
  • Comparisons to other products
  • Theory crafting
  • General chit-chat
  • etc
We ask that you please refrain from creating off-topic posts in Support threads.

Additionally:

  • There are times, where I respond from my mobile phone (Tapatalk) and choose to ignore certain posts. If your post is then ignored, I will answer it when I'm behind a real computer. This is mostly because I can't answer certain questions from my phone, due to formatting/information issues.

How to report a bug:
- Posts reporting bugs, without properly attaching full un-edited log files can be ignored from time to time. To make it easier for both the submitter and developer, including a full and detailed explanation of the bug, as well as any screenshot or information that may be useful in tracking down the bug, is well appreciated. ref: [Guide] How to attach a log ?

Requesting Plugin/Extension Support:
Is there a new extension, plugin available that could be integrated with Greedy? If so, let me know. I might be able to add support for it, if it's relevant and doable.

Requesting a Feature:
Requests are always appreciated, and if possible, integrated. Feel free to request or submit ideas!

Providing Translations:
  1. Send me a private message with your email-address;
  2. I will then invite u to a web-app that hosts my translation interface;
  3. Once done, PM me - and I'll download the resx and include it.

Translations don't require you to have a license/purchased the bot, the translation interface comes with screenshots.

Tips and Tricks

Tips & Tricks:

[1] 'auto' => Automatic stack size
Typing 'auto' in the StackSize textbox in inventory will automatically add the item with the recommended stacksizes.

[2] 'all' => Automatically enables SellAll/BuyAll when adding an item
Typing 'all' in the StackCount / Count textbox will add the item, with no count - but specifying 'buy all/sell all'.

[3] Help tab allows u to start quickly with 4 presets
Those presets exist of 1: Glyph Buying/Selling, [2] Gear Selling/buying, [3] Farm mats Buying/Selling, [4] Buy/Sell Consumables.

really want this! PB lags now very hard. Then you planning release this for Premium/Public? Thanks!
 
An auction bot that can import TSM data, nice. Very nice.

Will definitely buy this when its released.
 
To anyone wondering, as a tester I can confirm that this botbase will be really a cut above the rest in both functionality, useability and processing speed. Mirabis has put a ton of work into it already, and thought of virtually everything, developing some pretty sophisticated tools, and has even more sexy stuff planned. It will be well worth the money when it is released.

I won't guarantee it'll be a one click to a million solution, but if you set it up right, it'll definately run safer and more profitable than farming beasts in Nagrand, I assure you of that.

Like all of you, I can't wait for release, but I'm also aware Mirabis is very busy, and wants to iron out some more bugs before he lets this beast loose, so be patient.
