Rare Vanity Pets Price Check

I have seen on the couple of different servers I play on price differences between rare pets (whelplings, firefly, ooze, etc) differences like 1500g on one server and 5500g for same pet on different server.

What do you think is a fair price for the rarer pets? I understand some are not interested in fair prices, some just want to make as much as possible, and that is okay too--am more looking for a median price-range.

Q u o t e:


This all the way. There's no magical number that "should" reflect what a fair price is. If a firefly is going for 5500 on one server and 1500 on another, undercut each by whatever percent or gold amount you want. What people are willing to pay is what the "fair" price is for that particular server.

Sometimes it varies wildly, but just because one server has a much lower price doesn't automatically mean that the price is a "fair" one for all other servers.


And it only takes 1-2 crazy collectors (>_>) to mess up these numbers as they pay a very high amount and nobody else does for a long long time.

I blame Bornakk.


I blame your good luck because now there needs to be bad luck to balance it out, it might as well be you instead of someone else. ;-)

Wow--ty for all the responses--and next time I see someone with WTB blue post--I had 3 in my thread! lol


It's amazing what fun discussions can do. ;-)

Q u o t e:
Yeah, my main is trying to farm the oozling now, and am wondering what price is best to put him up for once I catch him. I would need to catch two though b/c my main would want to equip the second one.


It took me a couple hours to get the one I wanted, was definitely more efficient than buying the one for 8000g that keeps sitting in the AH.

Not me! Him!

Q u o t e:
The only pet I bought on my 75 pets journey was the Dark Whelpling, for 500g. I'm not going to lie, I felt it was a steal and almost gave it back to the seller.

After that, everything was farmed. My other 3 whelplings, my firefly , my Oozeling, even my Black Tabby (I'm Alliance).

I was really proud when I got my last Whelpling after 5 days of constant farming. Damn you Swamp of Sorrows.


I was able to get a Green Whelpling for just a couple thousand gold - that still felt like such a steal.

Edit: oooh, firsties! Or does it count if it's like the fourth blue post, lol?


Nope!

Q u o t e:
It's 5k on my realm. I don't like Whelplings so I'd buy them just to get a little more near my adored Little Fawn.

I'd waste 5k gold on a Firefly or on a Black Tabby (ever dropped one near a Stinker? Hilarity ensues), but not on a Whelpling.


I'm at 80 pets now, I generally just try and grab everything. >_>
