Myprices

[leery]

I think it is mycroft who wrote the script myprices. I have found this to be a fantastic script. Thank you for your work on it!

I have been tinkering around with the buy portion of the script. I was curious if functionality could be added that would do the following:

Search the broker for items truly selling less than merchant sale price. The search would be all items, not name specific.

If it finds any, buys them.

Simple in concept, but, challenging to write as best I can figure. We would want to see it implemented for the obvious arbitrage that exists between brokered items and merchant prices.

Thank you again for your efforts.

Couldn't be done, Broker info for the merchant pricing comes from having those items on the broker. The broker window shows what the items sell for to a merchant but only for what you have.

Course it could be done but you would need to write a database for all 50k plus items or so in the game and know the merchant pricing for each.

 

[mycroft]

What wired said , the 'merchant price' is only available on items you have in your own broker slots , you could build up a database of items , but you would have to either manually create a list of every item in the game or keep a record of each item you have sold and it's merchant price as you added it to the broker..

also remember the merchant price that is shown is your max price you can get at a merchant with max faction.

Do they get searched for / listed on the broker when you click the filter rules you typed in?

 

[madhater]

sorry yes it searches for the items im assuming it has somethign to do with not using default ui?

Don't think that matters....could be a price issue?

 

[madhater]

i dont think so i set the price to 20g and the items it was searching for where 12g. Does the script take a few minutes before it starts buying items? i was waiting like 45s-1m before i would close it.

On the Buy tab, did you click on the "Buy Items" check box?

 

[madhater]

yes the buy item box is checked but it just searches the broker for the items i want and just sits there.

Post the filter text you have typed in , which tickboxes are ticked and prices you have entered and I'll see if I can duplicate it here , the buy routine is working fine here.

I'm not sure whats wrong your end , there may be some extra characters or something in that buy entry somewhere.

I just typed in exactly this and bought 30 treasured/attunable items between 40 and 49 between 7g and 15g in price.

Clear that entry and try re-entering it all.

In your SVN repo, does the Myprices.iss have a green Check, or a red ! by it?

If it has a the red !, then we shouldnt be having this conversation till you delete that copy and re DL it from the repo.

 

[madhater]

yes it has a green check mark lol

not sure what i did but i managed to buy a few items with the script then the price went over my limit so it stopped worked great, but i changed price and im not sure how to get the script buying again?

Post your config file, please.

Normally , If all you did was change the maximum price the script will pay for those items then just starting the script scanning again should be enough.

Copy and paste the entry from the config file for these items , I'll re-try doing the same here , changing the price of an existing buy entry also to see if it bugs out also

Though I do wish you'd said you had changed the price of an existing buy entry initially.

 

[mycroft]

I copied exactly what you did , changed the price of an buy item after running a scan to increase the price that would be paid and re-ran another scan and it worked fine.

The only thing I can think of now is it's user error.
