... that buys items for sale that are listed cheaper than what the vendor would pay based on the value given in the right click

has this been done?

I'm willing to bet it has. I'm also willing to bet the people who wrote them are less than willing to let the public get their hands on their work.

Yes, this is possible. However, it's fairly complex and dangerous.

SoE is on the lookout for data miners, so doing a lot of price lookups in the bazaar could lead to trouble.

Additionally, it is fairly difficult to navigate around the bazaar via macro.
