CB_VendorAutoBuy.lua

1. Create World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\Addons\CB_VendorAutoBuy folder and put these files in there
2. Start WoW Classic
3. Bind a key to Interact with target
4. Target the vendor
5. Press the key
6. Repeat step 5 for the rest of your life

Notes:

• The addon will automatically close the merchant dialog after attempting to buy the item (so you can spam the key)
• If there's another item in that merchant slot, the addon will mention it, but will not buy it
• Hold Shift to prevent the addon from attempting to auto-buy the item

Hey

Great addon, love it. :)
I have 2 questions.

Is it possible to add another vendor to look for stuff there ?
Is it possible to use ID and not names ?

I'm not playing WoW anymore, I don't remember!

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds... devious 😂
