AddOn Spotlight: AutoProfit

by Eliah Hecht Dec 8th 2006 at 2:49PM

One of my favorite little add-ons, AutoProfit does one thing and it does it well. When you click the stacks-o-gold icon that it adds to vendor windows, it automagically sells all your gray items (aka vendor trash) to the vendor. It's customizable, so you can tell it to hold on to certain gray items or conversely to sell certain non-gray items (Fish Oil, anyone?). It also tells you how much all your junk loot adds up to when you mouse over the sell-all button, and let me tell you, there's nothing like making a few gold in junk rocks off elementals in the Badlands to make late-40s grinding feel a little more pleasant.

Since getting this little baby, manually clicking on 37 items after having moused over my entire inventory to seem what's salable seems like such a chore. This is one of those "should be in the default UI" things. Download it at Curse; it's updated for 2.0.1.

I got to try this one out!

FuBar_GarbageFu does the same, for you Ace/FuBar inclined folk.

Thanks for the tip for GarbageFu. I had been hoping to see Auto Profit updated, but wasn't sure if it would. I really hate having to empty bags of vendor trash the old fashioned way.

Oh, and Curse is saying they don't have a valid mirror for the file. I'm not sure why, I'll try again later.

It was a tough 2 days without it. I didnt get the 2.0.1 patch version till this morning.

Automaton, another Ace add-on, can sell all your grey itema automatically as well. Plus it does a lot of other stuff automagically for your -- dismount at flight points, auto rez, etc.

You can still download the addon - visit the official addon website and get it from there. Curse has a link.

I agree with #2. I used this addon for a while (and it's a great addon), but i replaced it with FuBar_GarbageFu and haven't looked back. of course, if you don't use FuBar, then garbagefu does you no good, but garbagefu does have some extra nice features:

-hover over to see all gray items in inventory and their sell prices
-shift+click on garbagefu and it automatically deletes your lowest-selling gray item (the main reason i use this over autoprofit)

that's all i can think of right now :)

I would start hanging onto Fish Oil. Shaman like to keep a steady supply of it.

Shaman use Fish Scales for underwater breathing & Fish Oil to walk on water. You can usually sell a stack for 1g

Ooh, I'd seen garbagefu, but didn't know about the shift-click delete feature. That is killer.
