    Dear all.
    First of all I would like to thank all the developers for this fantastic addon. I probably wouldn’t play WoW anymore without my main profession as a trader.

    What are my goals with disenchant and sell?
    -To maximize profit in buying green armor / weapon, then disenchanting and then putting it in the auction house. Additionally the condition that each transaction yields at least net 80s in average should be fulfilled.

    I run my daily business with AAdv. Because there are so many settings and there are strong interdependences between Appraiser, Bottom Scanner and Enchantrix, I wonder what your tweak settings for maximizing profit is. Personally I find Auctioneer very complex and also challenging when it comes to tweaking.

    My settings:

    Appraiser:
    Default pricing model : Market Value (Question: I understand that market value sets its prices through various indicators and is very robust, does it already include the fact that enchant mats have no auction fee and therefore can be auctioned to a higher price or should I use another pricing model)
    Alternative pricing model is Wowecon (mainly used for recipes)
    48 hours and price matching through Beancounter (Failure Markdown -0.2% and Success Markup 1%) and undercut (Markdown -1%, Markup 10%; Undercut 0,1%) is enabled (other values are standard) (Question: As I trade with large volumes, how exactly is Beancounter re-evaluating e.g. 20 Stacks of of dream dust in my mailbox? 20x(-0,2%) or just -0.2%?)
    Starting Bid Markdown is 5% (I generally try to encourage people for buyout)

    Bottom Scanner (I have only DE filter turned on)
    Disenchant: Min profit is 80 silver and I have the Auction Fee (5%) subtracted (checkbox). Minimum Discount is 1%. (Question: when an BM Scanner Windows pops up: What exactly does Profit above requirements means?)

    Enchantrix settings are:
    Max Buyout price: 25g
    Default profit margin: 80s
    Minimum profit margin: 80s
    Default % less than HSP: 5%
    Minimum % less than HSP: 1%
    Default Profit Margin: 5%
    Minimum Profit margin: 1%
    Default Pricing Model: Auc Adv Stat: Appraiser

    Honestly I am not sure at all, if those settings above even make sense. So please rate. I even predict contractions, but that’s exactly why I am asking you…
    How do you tweak your DE settings?

    (Please overlook any mistakes in grammar or spelling, as a citizen of Switzerland, English is not my native language)
    Kind regards

    I beleive that is the profit that is predicted over and above any profit you have outlined in your settings
