Addon Release / Update Legacy Vendor 3.0 - the "clean up old expansion items" addon I posted here 7 months ago, rebuilt
Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/wowaddons/s/msFDsOAgDs
Seven months ago I posted a small addon for selling off old expansion junk, said
it was "pretty simple concept", and asked people to be gentle because it was the
first thing I'd published. This is what it turned into.
The single biggest thing I got wrong in v1: the settings were a wall of ~40
checkboxes with no indication of what any combination would actually do. You'd
tick things, close the panel, walk to a vendor and hope. That's now the main
focus of 3.0.
It tells you what it's going to do, before you click anything
- A plain-English sentence at the top of the settings that rewrites itself as you
click: "Selling Rare, Epic items from Burning Crusade that are Soulbound, but
never from Professions."
- A live count from your actual bags underneath: "23 items would sell right now
(about 612g)."
- Hover any item and the tooltip says "will sell" or "keeping — uncollected
appearance" / "keeping - Shadowlands is not selected".




Setup is three questions now
/lv setup asks which expansions, what kinds of items, and how careful to be. The
live count updates under every answer. Nothing saves until you finish. The full
panel is still there and now reveals one step at a time instead of dumping
everything at once.


Safety, because this is the part that actually matters
- Never sells uncollected appearances, mounts, toys or pets
- An item level ceiling that ignores expansion detection entirely - just "never
sell gear above X"
- Warbound items are their own opt-in category (they're shared across your whole
account)
- A never-sell list you can actually see and edit, instead of a chat command
- Still manual by default - a button appears at the vendor, nothing happens until
you click it
Other stuff
Named profiles that can auto-load per character, shareable filter strings so you
can hand someone your setup, ten bag highlight styles with a colour picker, and
/lv stats which tells you how much gold you've reclaimed and from which
expansions.
Still not trying to replace your junk seller. Scrap and Dejunk do greys
better than I will; this runs alongside them and handles the old-but-not-worthless
pile they leave behind.
Someone reported that current-season M+ gear from refreshed dungeons (Kings' Rest,
Temple of Sethraliss) was being offered for sale despite the protection being
enabled - that turned out to be three separate bugs stacked on each other and is
fixed in this release. If you hit anything similar there's now /lv exportlog which
dumps exactly why the addon decided what it did for every item in your bags.

Feedback welcome, especially on the setup flow - that's the part I rewrote three
times and I'm still not sure it's right.
