I talked in the previous post about scanning with Auctioneer. This is how you will gather historical data for your server to help you set buying and selling prices. There are 2 types of scans. If you have a slow computer or a slow internet connection you will need to do the slower page by page scan. This will take several minutes. The button for this is found near the bottom of the AH interface. See the screenshots below for the slow scan button.
The faster scan is called a get all scan. See the screenshot below:
The get all scan button is the two blue arrows above. When you click it you will get a warning that you may be disconnected if your computer or internet service is too slow. If this happens to you, just use the slower scan type instead.
When you first start using Auctioneer you need to do scans at least twice a day for several days before the data begins to be reliable. An example of how prices can be skewed would be if someone listed netherweave cloth for 500g per stack. If you only did one or two scans, Auctioneer would be telling you that netherweave cloth is a very expensive item when you know that is not accurate. When you scan over a matter of days it begins to learn that most of the prices are more around 8g per stack (at least on my server). Also, Auctioneer can only scan items that are currently offered on the AH. Items that are not as common may not be seen for weeks.
So what are you waiting for? Go....scan....now!
