Guild Found AH

A private, guild-only auction house for WoW Classic Era. Guildmates list items and gold, browse, buy, and post want-to-buy orders over a shared market that every guildmate's addon keeps in sync - no AH cut, no deposits, no server, no website, no external service. Everything travels over WoW's hidden guild addon channel. By default the market is private to your guild; officers can optionally link allied guilds on the same realm into one shared marketplace with a single line in the Guild Information.

Features

• Shared order book - list an item or gold; every guildmate sees the same synced market. Posts, buys, and cancels propagate the moment they happen.
• Always there, even offline - listings are cached on every guildmate's client, so you keep seeing them after the seller logs off. Deals settle face-to-face, so you complete the trade once the seller is back online (a tooltip tells you when a seller is currently offline).
• Assisted trade settlement - buying flips an order to pending; open a normal trade with the seller and the item and gold auto-fill, then the completed deal is recorded. Blizzard's API never moves your gold or items on its own - you confirm every trade.
• Want-to-buy orders - post "want item X for Y" so sellers can see demand, not just supply.
• Gold or barter pricing - price in gold, or set a free-text barter price (e.g. "2x Black Lotus").
• Ratings & reviews - rate your trading partner after a completed deal; peer reputation is the trust layer of a closed market.
• Market Watch price lookup - look up a fair reference price for any item from anywhere; the guildmate with the freshest cached auction-house scan answers, and the reference price shows right in the sell and browse views.
• Allied-guild confederation - optionally pool your order book and ratings with allied guilds on the same realm. Off by default, officer-enabled, and trusted by a shared secret.

How It Works

A true server-authoritative auction house is impossible as an addon - Blizzard won't let addons move gold or items for you. Guild Found AH does the only thing that actually works:

1. a shared order book every guildmate's addon keeps in sync (eventual consistency over the guild channel), saved locally so it survives logouts;
2. assisted manual settlement - when you and a guildmate open a trade window, the addon auto-fills the item and gold and records the deal;
3. Market Watch - at an auction house, run a full scan; from anywhere, look up an item and the guildmate with the freshest cached price answers first.

No server. No website. No fees. Shared only with your guild - and any allied guilds you choose to confederate with.

Allied guilds (optional)

By default your guild's marketplace is private to your guild. An officer can link allied guilds on the same realm by adding one line to the Guild Information text box:

GFAHc:<name>:<secret>

Every guild on the realm that carries the identical line pools its order book and ratings into one shared marketplace. Posting, buying, cancelling, and rating propagate to the allied guilds silently and reliably while you play; a returning ally resyncs automatically on login. The shared secret is the trust boundary - only guilds that hold it take part. The addon also reuses GreenWall's GWc:<name>:<secret> line if present, so guilds already running GreenWall can use the same line for both. To leave or revoke, remove the line or rotate the secret in every participating guild.

Usage

Open the window with the minimap button or a slash command, list an item, and your guildmates see it. Settle face-to-face - the addon does the fiddly part.

• /gfah - open the auction house
