What it does
The game's own Sell Price line only covers the stack under your mouse. Better Vendor Price adds what that line leaves out: the price of one item, how many stack together and what a full stack sells for. It works wherever item tooltips appear, including bags, vendors, item links in chat and the auction house.
When your bags are full it first merges partial stacks to free slots without losing anything, then highlights the cheapest item to get rid of and names it in chat. The math looks ahead: a stack that is still filling up is weighed by what it will be worth once full.
It only checks the main bags where loot lands, skips items that cannot be sold such as the Hearthstone and quest items, and never destroys anything on its own. Cheap items you still need, like a fishing pole, can be kept off the list.

FAQ
Does Better Vendor Price delete items for me?
No. It only points out the cheapest item to discard; you throw it away yourself.
How do I stop it from suggesting an item I need?
Type /bvp keep while that item is the suggestion and it moves on to the next one. /bvp keep list shows everything you have kept.
