After patch 1.10 I figured I needed to update several of the addons that I use that were broken after the patch. One of the main addons that I use is Auctioneer. There are some really nice new features that I'm glad to see in the version that I am now using.

I especially like that now I am able to specify how and when Auctioneer loads. There are options for load manually, load always and load when at the auction house. This lets the mod take up less memory while the game is running and if I happen to want to turn off Auctioneer's extra display features I can do that as well.

Another new feature is the countdown for scanning the auction house. The Auctioneer mod now sports a handy new countdown to let you know how long a scan will take. Now you can know if you've got time for a cup of coffee or time to vacuum the house.

I've successfuly used Auctioneer in WOW to accumulate enough gold for my level forty mount in under three weeks. That was starting from zero gold at the beginning. It really makes your pricing and auction activities much more efficient. If you can price an item right the first time you will save yourself time and gold from not sold items. Auctioneer is also great to let you know which items go well at the auction house and which ones you should just dump at the nearest vendor.

All of you out there interested in making gold efficiently in WOW should check out the Auctioneer mod. It's really a great time saver and info tool.
