How hard would it be to set an option to exclude underpriced in the bazaar?

Lets pick Valorium Rings just for an example... say there are rings for: 8000pp, 7999pp, 7995pp, 7900pp, 7800pp, 7600pp, and 6000pp.

Pricing my ring manually I would list it at 7600 or probably 7599. Considering the materials to make one of these rings can cost up to 5000 or 6000, plus failures, I would not be willing to sell one at 6k.

I can think of two possible solutions to do this in a macro:
1) Is there any way to consider the mean (7613.429 in this case) and the standard deviation, then exclude the cheapest items (anything falling more than (x) SD's away from the mean) and then undercut the cheapest remaining price.
2) Would it be possible to set a minimum price in the ini file? For the rings, lets say 7k to cover costs plus my minimum desired profit, but raise it up to the next cheapest listing to skim additional profits.

I like this macro a whole awful lot, but I want to be able to trust it not to loose me money. I guess my concern is that it will price some stuff too low or if someone noticed me matching prices, they could set something rediculously low long enough for them to buy my item then raise both items back up.

The more I think about it a minimum price would cover this and might not be too hard to add. I kinda suck with ini files tho, is that something you could possibly add?

has anyone got this working please, i have scanned the code but it is a little too complicated for me, it runs fine but it will not find anything at all, i know some of the items are for sale in the bazaar as i have checked, either post a working one here or in the VIP section Please.
Many Thanks in advance

I'm still going through it, found places where it was causing problems, but still trying to track down others.

You ever do an update for this mac?

Still working on it here and there, removed a lot of previous bugs, still trying to squash others. For example, it doesn't want to write the new sell values to the Ini file.

Question.

What would happen if lots of people in the bazaar were running this exact same macro and selling a couple of the same products? Would this cause the prices to keep dropping all the way down because they are competiting with each others macro?

in case they all would run "fast sell", then yup..

key to is to have it save in an INI what your lowest price is, so no one screws you over by putting the same item for sell at 5pp just long enough for your macro to catch it, then they make a happy profit
