20 Days of Gold Making: Day 17

Nev from Auction House Addict has created a community project for the gold makers among us 20 Days of Gold Making. You can find a list of all of the participants in this blog post at AH addict. The question I am covering today is:

Pets - Did you used to do the Vendor pet sales? How have pet battles changed things for you?

Pet battles really hasn't changed my pet selling strategy much because I never bothered with selling them as a defined plan.

Sure if I ran into Lil' Timmy I would mug the White Kitten from him and slap it on the AH but beyond the I'm in the area I'll buy pets I never tried hard although I did trade a Mekgineer's Chopper for the Hyacinth Macaw a few months before Mists launched in the hope of making a killing but despite pricing between 16000 and 40000 gold never got anyone wanting to buy it so I ended up adding it to my pet list just before Christmas, maybe I'll level it to 24 and then try to sell it again.

I tried selling pets at the beginning of the expansion but the market was really flooded at the time and nothing sold so I abandoned it. I have considered leveling pets to 24 and selling them so people can easily get them to 25 and add to their collections, but as leveling a pet is real easy once you have one at level 25 and you now also get XP I'm not sure how successful that will be. I guess only time will tell.
