Understanding Pricing

The Auctioneer's Pricing options determine the suggested buyout and bid values when placing an auction. Internally, this value is known as the Highest Sellable Price (HSP). Additionally, Enchantrix uses the HSP value for displaying the most likely value of disenchanting an item. Understanding how these options affect HSP will help you get the best use from suggested buyouts and Enchantrix.

For more information on how HSP is determined go to the Understanding Item Values page.

Pricing Options

{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer autofill (on|off|toggle) }}
Set whether to autofill prices when dropping new auction items into the auction house window
Toggle option for having Auctioneer automatically supply values to the bid and buyout values when putting an item in the auction slot. These values are determined by the pricing options below.


{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer pct-markup <percent> }}
The percentage that vendor prices will be marked up when no other values are available
If for some reason Auctioneer cannot determine a market value of the item, then this is the percentage to add to the vendor sell price to establish a suggested buyout price. Default is 300.


{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer pct-bidmarkdown <percent> }}
Set the percentage that Auctioneer will mark down bids from the buyout price
After the suggested buyout price has been calculated, the suggested bid value is determined by subtracting this percentage from the suggested buyout price. Default is 20.


{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer pct-nocomp <percent> }}
The percentage that Auctioneer will undercut market value when there is no competition
If there are no items of this type (that are not yours) in the latest snapshot OR the item with lowest buyout in current snapshot is above market value, the suggested buyout price will be the market value minus this percentage. Default is 0.

Note: It is possible to have a negative value in this position to mark up an item.


{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer pct-underlow <percent> }}
Set the percentage that Auctioneer will undercut the lowest auction price
If there are matching items in the current snapshot, the buyout price will determined by subtracting this percentage from the lowest buyout price (in this scan). Note: Please also note the options for pct-maxless and pct-undermkt. Default is 5.


{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer pct-maxless <percent> }}
Set the maximum percentage that Auctioneer will undercut market value before it gives up
If Auctioneer attempts to use pct-underlow, it will check this value to determine if the resultant value is lower than this percentage below the market value of the item. If the check fails, then it uses pct-undermkt instead of pct-underlow. Default is 30.


{{ #slashcmd: /auctioneer pct-undermkt <percent> }}
Percentage to cut market value by when unable to beat competition (due to maxless)
The suggested buyout price is the market value less this percentage when the pct-maxless rule fails. Default is 20.

Example showing interaction of Pct-Underlow, Pct-Maxless, and Pct-Undermkt

I am listing "Widget A" on the AH. The median buyout value is 10g. There is currently a listing of "Widget A" on the AH that has the lowest buyout of 9g50s.

My pricing settings:

  • pct-underlow = 1%
  • pct-maxless = 5%
  • pct-undermkt = 5%

This means that Auctioneer sees that to compete 1% less than 9g50s, I would need to list it at 9g40s. But 9g40s is below my limit of pct-maxless of 5% (9g50s). So instead it says "cannot match lowest price" and uses the pct-undermkt value of 5% less than the median buyout, which is 9g50s.
