How about just the ability in the basic UI to sort by Buy Out price rather than Bid Price. That option alone would have saved me dozens of game play hours even as a brand new player.

I imagine most casual AH users are just looking to buy items for right now, rather than waiting up to a day to see if they might have won something, yet as far as I know, you cannot sort prices by Buy Out, only by Bids.

I was going to reply saying the exact same thing. I'm glad that somebody else already feels this way. I think that this is a simple change/addition that would have a huge benefit.

Someone saw this post and actually made an alt on my server to share this little tidbit with me through the mail.

Using the default Auction House UI you can get it to sort by Buy IT NOW price. It just takes two steps.

First click the top of the price column to have it sort by BID price, then click the top of the name column to have it sort goods by name. This will result in the UI displaying goods with the same name by BUY IT NOW price rather than BID.

The person who shared this with me did not know why this worked, but I have confirmed that it does.

Thanks anonymous tip sharer! Your help and willingness to go out of your way to give a hand to a stranger is much appreciated!
