The max() and min() functions as well as all the various if() functions. If you want to experiment with some more complex strings there are two sets of functions in TSM that I find most useful. You can also use a set of nested ifgt() clauses together with one of the rounding formulas to make sure you post your items at a nice round price. In 8.0 I used an ifgt() check to post the epic procs of the Honorable combatant gear for a higher price than the rare versions. The normal price in your operation can also be a great place for some more complex behaviour. Using a similar logic to BilisOnyxiaвЂ™s sniper string for battle pets for instance makes a lot of sense as the deposit cost is very low, so you can post a pet for a long time even for just 15% profit and not lose gold, and if that 15% profit is on a TCG pet worth 500k, then itвЂ™s still worth more than flipping a ton of 1k battle pets. Your maximum shopping price on the other hand can be a great option for a more elaborate pricing string. Generally speaking it should be either 115% crafting or higher for crafted goods and about 115-120% of your maximum shopping price for flipping. Your minimum price just needs to be higher than your acquisition cost. When does complexity give the largest advantageДЄdding complexity to your minimum price alone makes very little sense.

A great example is BilisOnyciaвЂ™s well known sniper string that includes different max price thresholds based on how expensive the item is. Now for some settings you can get a lot more out of a group or an operation by including complexity. It also makes sure thereвЂ™s less chances to make an error and easier to make changes. I share my settings with a lot of people obviously, so I try to keep them simple. This is the main reason why you would want to keep something simple. Complexity requires more effort, and is harder to share The only market where I use more than one auctioning operation is for materials as I want to cater to people who want different amounts of the material in question. I personally greatly prefer simple TSM settings and most of my operations have very simple pricing formulas, and I donвЂ™t use too many auctioning operations. You can make a complex auctioning setup by using a large number of operations for an item and you can make complex pricing strings in your operations. Most of the other settings are just sliders. The price values and formulas you use in your operations is the only place in TSM where you can introduce complexity. TSM lets you make both very complex and very simple settings, and today I will look at when it makes sense to go for more complex settings.

I use Tradeskillmaster for all of my auction house activities to make sure I buy at the right price and sell at the right price.
