Hi,

 

I’ve created a script to make trading on the Auction House easier and more informed, while staying within the current rules. The main goal is to make it clearer what similar items are going for on the market, so you can decide more confidently whether an auction is worth bidding on.

 

There’s an extra button next to each item in the AH:


 

Clicking it opens a pop-up that pulls comparable listings from the Item Market. It matches on the bonus element (for example, “Penetrate”), so you can quickly see the going rate for similar items and judge whether the auction price makes sense.

 

Bonus matching behavior:

  • If an item has one bonus, it will show Item Market listings with the same bonus element
  • If an item has two bonuses, it won’t try to match the exact pair (those matches are often too rare); instead, it shows the same item with any two bonuses, which still gives useful price context

 

A couple of limitations (API-related, not script-related):

  • It can’t compare against other active auctions, because the AH API doesn’t support active auctions—only closed ones
  • Using an external database isn’t allowed, so I’m limited to what the official API provides

 

Currently, you can get the script for 40m with lifetime access (the price may change, so it’s better to buy now rather than later). For everyone interested I give free 5-days testing period before you decide if you want to pay and use it or not.

Thanks for sharing your free script—having a no-cost option is genuinely useful for people who don’t want to spend 40m or just want something basic.

 

Mine is a paid alternative aimed at users who want a more compact workflow and faster decision-making during auctions (especially when you’re checking a lot of listings). If anyone’s unsure, I’m happy to provide a 5-day testing period so you can try it first and only buy if it’s a good fit for you.

I'm sorry, but I'd suggest you to compare the features of the scripts before asking chat gpt to write an answer.

 

Here's a small comparison for you

 

Your script

  • Works in the AH page
  • Only takes the bonus of the weapon into account, completely overlooking quality and weapon type.
  • Costs 40m

 

Free Alternative (That you called basic?)

  • Works in the AH, Item Market, Bazaar, Inventory, Faction Armory, Display Case
  • Takes the bonus of the weapon/armor, quality, and of course the type of the weapon-armor into account, because a bonus can be worthless on a gun but priceless on another
  • Provides date, seller and buyer information so you can get accurate price estimations
  • Also works for very rare and extremely rare items, as they can also be put on auctions
  • A settings tab where you can configure default settings for searches, including bonus specific settings, which can be exported & imported
  • Is FREE

 

I'm not sure about you but it does feel like you are trying to charge people 40m for a script that is actually very feature dry and a better+free version already exists. Writing scripts is a good way to make money, but I'd suggest you to put more effort into your future scripts if you plan on charging money for them.

I'm giving free trial period, if you have so much better stuff people will not extend it. I do not force people to anything.
