WoW Classic Vendor Bid Assist

README.txt

Basically shove in the vendor price of an item and it'll spit out the maximum bid you should put to assure that you get the item (assuming nobody goes above you). There's also a value for minimum profit so that you avoid bidding on stuff you don't care about. Works well for most things, adjust the 1.04 to something else for super high gold values (adjust down).

def roundTensAH(input):
    return math.floor((input * 1.04) / 10.0) * 10

vendorPrice = int(input("Enter vendor price as an integer (g*10000+s*100+c): "))

minimumProfit = 150
adjustment = 0
baseBid = math.ceil(vendorPrice/1.04)
curBid = baseBid

while roundTensAH(curBid + adjustment) <= roundTensAH(baseBid):
    adjustment += 1


bidCalc = math.ceil(vendorPrice / 1.04) + adjustment

if bidCalc >= vendorPrice or vendorPrice - bidCalc < minimumProfit:
    print("Don't bid; max bid for minimum profit is", str(vendorPrice - minimumProfit) + ";", "calculated bid of", bidCalc, "exceeds this")
else:
    print("You should bid: ", bidCalc)
