Enchantrix
Eureka! I've found what I've been looking for for a long time! And it's been under my nose the whole time! I've had Enchantrix for quite a while. See details below, but basically when used in conjunction with Auctioneer (and it's made by the same folks), it tells you what an item Disenchants (DEs) into, and therefore, how much those mats are worth. By knowing the values of the raw mats, and the likelihood of which mats it will break into, Enchantrix can give an estimated DE value for an item. For example, the 'Severing Axe of the Boar' might have a DE value of 45s, meaning the materials that it will LIKELY DE into should sell for about 45s. OK, so we already knew all that. What I finally discovered was that Enchantrix has built-in Auction House search functions! So, after running a scan with Auctioneer, you can use the following functions:
/enchantrix percentless (percent)
and/or
/enchantrix bidbroker (silver)
The (percent) is the percentage of the discount...in other words the percentage you can save by buying out this item now. The (silver) is the amount in silver you want to profit from your bid. So, percentless is for buyouts, bidbroker is for bids. As an example: /enchantrix percentless 70 will return items that DE into an average value of 1g, but the items currently have a 29s buyout. Buy the item, DE it, and sell the mats. For another example: /enchantrix bidbroker 200 will return items that DE into mats worth 2g more than what the bid is. You may get outbid on some things but you might also win some!
The GREAT thing about this is that it takes far less capital to start accumulating than Auctioneer does. I've been doing this on a low-level (11) toon to test it out. He's been buying items for 6-10s and turning them into mats that sell for 25-95s. I don't know about you, but for a low level toon, that's a fast way to acquire enough silver to become several gold! Do this a few times, and you'll have a bankroll big enough to start bidding on the more expensive and profitable items in the AH!
