Your post literally is about speculation lol. You could care less about rarity, you were literally farming/ or buying them to sell and put more of them into the wild. You lost a revenue stream that’s all you care about.

I thought about it, that mine lost value. But I would never have sold mine anyway. I think it’s nice when people who want to collect stuff can get it.

I’m just curious as to whether this version will be the same, cageable version as the existing TCG pets or if it’ll have a different coding # to make it non-cageable. I already have the pet, just wondering how this one will work.
Either way, I’m all for them adding rare items to the Trading Post! I stopped caring when they gave the Feldrake away as a Twitch promo (which I also already had). If it means we can all fill out our collections of any missing rare pets, mounts & transmogs then by all means bring it on!
Is $600 a fortune? Lol. There are jobs out there paying way more.
Huh…predatory business practice angry about capitalist opportunity to create a fair market.
This just in.
I remember. Don’t judge me.
Every world drop RNG hands out is in fact a theft from would be AH Masters that just desperately need to make 10M this month. Anything less… I just can’t fathom it.
Whitesnake sucks.
I’m a bit confused about this. In order to get a TCG item you had to have the code from the card, right? And you had to go to some NPC in Booty Bay to get your reward. So…how is one of this items able to put up on the AH? Surely once you hand in the code the item becomes BoP?
I ask for clarity on this because hever having got one, I am only going by the way it worked when I looked it up.
No, the person who has the card puts in the code, collects the item, and then they’re free to pop it on the AH (which is what most people did, because they wanted the gold more than the mount). A few of the items were BoP though, like toys and such, but the mounts could be/can be traded.
Ah ok, thanks I didn’t realise that. I don’t often look at the mount list on the AH as I only sell such things rarely (like the few you can sell from yearly events).
Years ago it was very common for them all to be on the AH, i played the AH a lot and it wasn’t uncommon for me to have one or two of each mount among my inventory, but as the cards went out of print and the stocks continued to dwindle, they became more and more rare.
This is where Blizzard should have stepped in and entered into a new deal to print more, printed them themselves, or just came up with new ways for the supply to increased again (like the BMAH for example). It’s silly that things got to the stage of certain mounts costing 10’s of millions of gold because of how rare they are.

They probably should have organised it from the start that nothing from TCGs were open for trading - just made them BoP or BoA. Would have solved a lot of issues I guess.
in a way no they could sell the cards on Ebay or other sites
They would have to have the code revealed, how would a buyer know if it had not already been claimed?
if i dont see a code covering thing on the card no dice
Okay.
Ah ok, I remember now, you see you won something and have to scratch it to reveal the code.
This kind of business is always a rocky investment, people seeing it as surefire money were hopelessly optimistic. It’s something with no real value, propped up only by artificial scarcity, and the moment that bubble popped the market was going to crash hard. Anyone with eyes would have seen that coming.
Getting salty at Blizz is dumb, because there was never a baseline value to the item in the first place. You try to play the market and sometimes you get owned.

I didn’t get owned by anyone, i was simply trying to answer someones question about how things worked
