    Hello

    First of all Auctioneer is a superb Add-on, i love it.

    But since Jesterday im Shocked
    i used the Scan Function, then the Search Aution Function, to find some Auctions that are worth buying for reselling, i found 10 Large Brilliant Shards for 40 Gold, i clicked on Buy in the Search auctions Tab, and then it Happened, that item was there many Times, same Quantity, same Seller same Price, and Auctionee startet to Buy over and over, from 250 Gold down to 10 Gold, i now own 60 Shards, instead of 250 Gold. Looking to the chatlog tells me, it gave every auction the same code, so it trytto buy ALL with that code that matches the criteries, Name quantity seller Price. after 1 or 2 Sec all the Money was gone.

    Is here someone who hab the same Problem? I dont think blizz will Help me with this 3rd Party Problem.

    How many shards are left on the AH? Time to put those 60 back up for a few gold more

    How many other aucitons where there that has 10 for 40g? Sounds like it duped the items.

    Yeah, the problem is that Auctioneer doesn't track multiple auctions with the same starting price and buyout. Therefore each result from the bidbroker or percentless (or a Search Auctions tab search) can represent one or more auctions. I think I need to add a feature that limits the bidding/buying out only one auction at a time.

    Perhaps if you do decide to modify the process, you could make it so it shows you how many stacks there are at this quanity/price, and present the user with an option to buy/bid on X quanity of the auctions?

    I personally don't have that much of a problem with the way this works.

    Please fix this. I just bought a ton of items I didn't mean to because of this bug.

    Happened to me as well, luckily for me, it was something I wanted to buy all I could of.

    The screen full of spam everytime I use the Search Auction window to bid or buy... yikes. (Wanders off to see if there's mention of that elsewhere.)

    this has happed to me also wanted to spend 4g but ended up spending 24g

    Thought it was a fluke, and it happened another time, i now don't trust the search.. please fix

    You can also perform a simple search on an item before you go to purchase it, and then you can select the exact auction you wish to purchase.

    I've been bit by this "feature" several times as well. I would love to see some kind of solution that didn't involve doing a seperate item search.

    I think its shift left click or alt/ctrl but doing this on the scan pages will automatically show all auctions listed for that item. Or it does from me and this is the only auction based UI i use.

    I think the opposite, I love this feature, allows me to bid on a lot of things all at the same time, less clicking

    In fact, can you make it so there is a feature which would compact all the bids? In other words, I just want to bid on every auction for runecloth that is 6silver... there usually are 15-20 lines of them in the search
