Feature Request: Minimum Profit Percentage for WTS Listings
Summary
Add an option in the WTS tab to list items based on a minimum profit percentage, in addition to the existing minimum flat platinum profit.
Problem Statement
The current minimum profit setting uses a fixed platinum value for every item. While this works well for low-cost items, it doesn't scale with more expensive purchases.
For example:
- Buying an item for 20 platinum and selling it for 30 platinum (+10 platinum) is a 50% profit, which is a great return.
- Buying an item for 200 platinum and selling it for 210 platinum (+10 platinum) is only a 5% profit, which may not justify the investment or trading risk.
Using only a flat profit threshold creates inconsistent results across items with very different purchase prices.
Proposed Solution
Add an optional Minimum Profit Percentage (%) setting to the WTS tab.
When enabled, an item would only be listed if its expected selling price meets or exceeds the configured percentage profit based on its purchase price.
Example:
This setting could work:
- As an alternative to the current flat minimum profit.
- Or alongside it, requiring both conditions to be met before listing an item.
Alternatives Considered
- Keeping only the existing flat minimum profit.
- Allowing users to choose between either a flat profit or a percentage-based profit.
- Combining both requirements, so an item must satisfy both the minimum platinum profit and the minimum profit percentage.
Use Cases
This feature would benefit users who:
- Trade both low-value and high-value items.
- Want a consistent return on investment regardless of an item's purchase price.
- Prefer percentage-based profitability over fixed platinum gains.
- Want to avoid automatically listing expensive items for relatively small profits.
Additional Context
Percentage-based profit is a common way to evaluate investments because it scales naturally with cost. Adding this option would make WTS listing behavior more consistent and give users greater control over their selling strategy.
