Auction Coach
Every World of Warcraft player knows the feeling: your bags are full, the Auction House window is open, and you have no idea whether that stack of herbs is worth 40 gold or 400. Auction Coach exists to answer exactly that question. It is a plain-English Auction House advisor that tells you what your stuff is worth, what to sell, what price to post at, and how likely it is to actually sell. No spreadsheets, no group politics, no arcane formulas. It advises, and it never automates.
What Auction Coach Actually Does
The addon is built around a simple promise: give you a straight answer in plain language. Instead of dumping raw market data on you, it translates numbers into decisions. Should you post this now, hold it, or just vendor it? Auction Coach leans in and tells you.
What It's Worth
Hover over any item and the tooltip fills in the details. You see what it is worth, how many copies you own across all your characters, whether a vendor actually pays more, and how stiff the competition is on your realm. It is the fastest way to stop undervaluing the random drops you have been mailing to your bank alt for years.
My Stuff
The My Stuff panel adds up everything sellable across every character and your warband bank. One glance shows the total value of your hoard, which is often a genuinely surprising number for long-time players.
Sell, Post, and Spot Deals
The Sell tab suggests a price for everything currently in your bags and flags whether to post, hold, or vendor each item. Drop a single item into the sell box and the post helper recommends a price while showing the chance it sells in time. That last part matters: a high price that never moves is worse than a modest one that clears overnight.
Deals surfaces items listed well below their usual lowest price, with your profit calculated after the Auction House cut. One click opens the listing so you can grab it before someone else does.
Undercuts, Sales, and Safety
Auction Coach learns how fast each item gets undercut and adapts to your habits. Whether you check the Auction House casually, actively, or as a full-time camper, the advice shifts to match. It also tracks what each sale actually made and warns you before you vendor or delete something valuable, which has saved more than a few players from a costly misclick.
Desktop App and Website
The addon works entirely on its own scans, but the free Windows companion app adds hourly prices, 14-day averages, and sales estimates that power the deals feed and sell chances. On the website you can search any item or paste your /ac export string to see what all your characters are worth in one view.
Compatibility Across WoW Versions
Auction Coach for World of Warcraft supports Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria, so you can run the same advisor whether you are pushing current content or reliving old expansions. Data covers both EU and US realms, with commodities tracked everywhere and gear pricing where it is actually used. Sales figures are estimates, not guarantees.
How to Install
- Download Auction Coach from your preferred addon source and unzip it into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns folder.
- Log in, open the Auction House once so the addon can scan it, and the advice begins immediately.
- Type /ac or click the minimap button to open the window.
- Use /ac options to set your seller style, and /ac help to list every command.
If you prefer a smoother route, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in one click, keeping Auction Coach and the rest of your addon catalog updated automatically across every supported game version.
Getting Started and Support
One Auction House visit is all it takes to get rolling. Windows may flag the unsigned installer, in which case choose More info and then Run anyway. The addon is completely free, and if it earns you a few thousand extra gold, the developer only asks that you consider buying them a coffee.
If you have ever posted an auction purely on gut feeling, Auction Coach is the quiet second opinion you have been missing. It will not play the market for you, but it will make sure you never guess blindly again.
