The glyph market has spawned quite a few of the important modern auction house addons. It"s a uniquely challenging market, as there are hundreds of different products, each with their own balance of suppliers, buyers, and materials. The challenges faced by early glyph producers were met by a hodgepodge of fairly complex addons and macros, and only recently have unified solutions began to appear. I remember that at one point, I had addons to:

• Keep track of how many glyphs I had on the AH, in various characters" banks and in their inventories.
