Price Tracker Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.4

by: Barvazon [More]

General Info

Price Tracker is a simple addon that scans all your guild banks and tracks items and their prices. It then calculates and shows a suggested price in the item tooltip, as well as the minimum and maximum prices and the number of times the item was seen in the stores.

The suggested price can be calculated in several ways (which can be selected in the settings menu):

Weighted average: The average price of all items, with stack sizes taken into account. For example, a stack of 10 items will be counted 10 times when calculating the average price.
Median price: The price value for which half of the items cost more and half cost less.
Most popular price: The most common price value.[/color]

How to Use

Initially, all the guild stores have to be inspected in order for the addon to work properly. Simply go to a banker, open the Guild Store menu and click on the 'Scan Prices' button on the left-hand side. This will take a while, depending on how many guild stores are available, and how many items are listed in each guild store. During the scanning process, the 'Scan Prices' button will be disabled. It will be reenabled once all the guild stores have been scanned.

After that, simply select an item in your bag, and if the item is listed in a guild store, it will show the suggested price.

Updating Prices

Occasionally, click on the 'Scan Prices' button again to update the price list with newly listed items.

Database Update

Notice that starting v1.7 changes the way items are indexed and retrieved. From now on, instead of using the item name, Price Tracker uses the item ID, which is a lot more accurate. It also accounts for the item's level when comparing prices. For example, Leather Boots of Stamina can come in level 15, 35 or 50. When comparing prices, only items that match the level of the selected Leather Boots of Stamina will be taken into account.

Having said that, I am aware that, for some reason, certain items come in more than one level, where that does not seem to make any sense. Recipes, ingredients, and certain items will report to have different levels, even though no discernible difference can be found. I do not know why that is the case. Only ZO can answer that question.

Lastly, as a result of this change, all saved items will be dropped, and a new database will be created. Please do not forget to click on the 'Scan Items' button to rescan the stores.

I looked at it again, and it seems like the guilds are changing correctly. The guild name at the bottom of the screen does not change, but the addon seems to cycle through all the guilds as expected.

I am just now finally getting the patch. I'll have to update the addon to support the latest API changes. Expect an update soon.

Ok, great!

Can you add comparsion by lvl too? Coz seems like it didn't make a difference between items with the same name but different lvl, i.e. Warlock set items (there is ~20 lvl set, vr1 set and vr12 set and all have the same names) or Pact set items (this can be any lvl)

Sometimes what items actually sell for can be a better indicator than listed price (though not always). Many people don't know what their items are worth and may list them for random amounts. For items with limited data like rares, this can make store data unreliable.

Will successful sale prices ever be incorporated into the algorithm for Price Tracker? Thanks

It is on my todo list. Sale prices are much more accurate than listed prices. It will be incorporated in a future update.

But not only did the error persist even with everything else disabled, it gave me a second error. xD
I linked screenshots of both error windows.

Error 1. (Happens with all addons on or off)
Error 2. (Only showed when I disabled everything else)

This error message is shown because of missing LibStub library - or to be more precise, addon can't find the library because of typo in PriceTracker.txt. To fix this issue just open the PriceTracker.txt file in any text editor and change line "lib/Libtub/LibStub.lua" to "lib/LibStub/LibStub.lua".

Thanks Garkin and Mitosuke for finding the bug. Fixed in v1.4.

Thanks for the quick fix Barvazon, and to Garkin also for the fast self fix! Updated and now it's working smoothly.

Great idea. I'll work on that for the next update.

Another change that I had already made (thanks to Mutantant's suggestion) allows you to hide the suggested price, unless a certain key is pressed. Anytime you want to see the price, simply press the key and it will show in the tooltip. You can do this before or after the tooltip is visible, it works both ways.

Thanks so much!!! Heading out to the grocery store shortly but when I get home I will definitely log in and check it out.

I didn't know that you can press a key to show the tooltip or hide it. I'll have to check it out.

Maybe in the next update, add a tooltip in game to to show what each one means as well? It could be a text box in the open area of the settings once you select Weighted Average, below all the settings options it shows what it means.

Maybe in a future release have an option to see the prices on the items, all the time, or only when looking at the sell screen. Could be useful when trying to sell things to a vendor or sell things in zone chat.
