Reply to price checks automatically using TSM or an external addon's item values.
Price Answer requires you to have TradeSkillMaster installed, but users sending you price inquiries do not need TSM.
- Fresh and Fresh Harcore Classic (full prices from the TSM desktop app)
- Mists of Pandaria Classic (full prices from the TSM desktop app)
- Retail (full prices from the TSM desktop app)
- Classic Era, non-Fresh, Season of Discovery, and Anniversary (external addon, see below)
- Any native to TradeSkillMaster
- External addons
Price Answer will look for external addon prices even for WoW versions with full TSM support if you choose not use the TSM desktop app. TSM's price sources are signicantly better than using an external addon. Any price sources which are not available are not sent in Price Answer's reply to the price request.
Auctionator, Auctioneer, and Auction House DataBase (AHDB) prices are supported, and are mapped to the equivalent TSM price sources. Not all price sources are available for all World of Warcraft versions, regardless of additional addons.

People send the following commands to trigger price checks. Thanks to Bearthazar on Curseforge for the better pattern matching in version 1.09, where spaces do not matter. (EXCEPTION: when passing both N and a numerical itemID, a space MUST exist between N and the itemID!!) The trigger price can be changed in the options.
price N itempriceNitemprice Nitemprice item
N is an optional quantity (default 1), item is a numerical itemID, itemLink, or item name. If an item name is sent, YOU must have the item in your inventory.
