in my humble opinion (and since this is my first post, im sure its not worth anything to you :P), Auctioneer was one of the most overrated and over-used addon in the entire wow game!0
the idea behind the mod, and the scripting of the mod was a thing of genius, and full credit must go to the origional authors, however, in reality it was a broken mod, that encouraged bad behaviour.
For example, if you log into the game and type in something as basic as 'Netherweave Cloth', you'll no doubt see someone (or in some cases, lots of people) selling a few stacks for 100g-999g. This use to be believed that it was for the 'typo' user, who would accidently pay 999g for a stack, thinking he was paying 99silver or something - however in actual fact, what he was doing was making everyones auctioneer say the cloth is worth more than it was.
As the addon works in percentages, it would feed that number into the calculation, making the overall average more expensive and therefore, seem good to buy it at that inflated price. Because of this simple exploit in the addon, it renders this addon useless.
shame.
