Selling Tab - TheMouseNest/Auctionator GitHub Wiki

When considering adding new functionality to the "Selling" tab:

• Adding more fields/toggles makes the tab more complex than it needs to be, which was the original reason for shelving the solution we had, especially as it appeared the vast majority of users would never use the bid options.
• An option to activate bidding so that the complexity is hidden for normal users is one solution (which is what the 8.2 Auctionator release did)
• The concern about adding in the feature is the maintenance requirement, especially if demand for the feature is limited. We can't commit to keeping a feature if almost no-one uses it.

Summarizing the benefits of the new selling tab:

• Avoids a throttling issue that could cause unacceptable post delays or failures
  • A lot of time was spent cutting code down to the absolute minimum for a feature to work, it still got throttled.
• A bag view, with the ability to hide items and focus on the category a user wants to sell
• Historical prices are displayed (another user request)
• When displaying existing auctions for an item we have the flexibility to improve the display
  • We show pet levels in the listing, and the default sell tab requires mousing over the item to see the tooltip to get the information
  • Right clicking an auction you own cancels it
  • Alt+Right Clicking an auction will buy it in one click
