WhisperBid

From WowAce Wiki

WhisperBid is a mod that is designed to facilitate loot auctions. Only the Bid Master needs to run it; bids are handled via a simple whisper format.

Functionality includes:

• Automatic bid acceptance and checking
• Optional high bid announcements, with the following additional information
  • Class - High bid on [Awesome Item] is 14 [Druid, Rogue, Warrior]
  • Name - High bid on [Awesome Item] is 14 [Joe, Jane, Jeremy]
  • # of Bidders - High bid on [Awesome Item] is 14 [3 bidders]
  • Anonymous - High bid on [Awesome Item] is 14
  • Silent - (No high bid announcements)
• Bid invalidation
• Automated bid timeout. The Bid Master may set the timeout, and then automatically close the auction after no bids have been made for the duration of the timeout.
• Proxy bidding

The Bid Master opens bidding with a simple command:

/wb bid [Item Link]

This makes an announcement to the raid. Raid members may then bid with either:

• /t bidmaster 15
• /t bidmaster bid 15
• /t bidmaster proxy 15

The first two options simple place a standard bid. If that bid is higher than the current high bid, a new high bid is set and announced according to the Bid Master's set options. The third option is a proxy bid, which will automatically bid-to-beat up to 15 points. For example, if Joe proxy bid 15, and Jane then bids 3, Joe will automatically bid 4. Jane then bids 13, and Joe automatically bids 14. Jane bids 16, and Joe does not automatically bid, as it is above his proxy.

It is recommended that the Bid Master detach the tooltip from the FuBar/Minimap plugin (provided that Tablet is installed), as it is the primary display for WhisperBid. If this is not an option, however, the addon is fully functional with the dewdrop menu and slash commands.
