The original Collectors Edition pets and [pet]Murky[/pet] and [pet]Mini Tyrael[/pet] are considered to be the rarest of the rare. These pets typically go for thousands of dollars on the secondary market and they are highly sought after by collectors. This makes these five pets the obvious targets of scams and other trading methods that are against the Blizzard ToS.

Therefore, we're no longer permitting posts that attempt to trade these pets.

These new guidelines are being introduced to help protect traders from scammers and prevent the overflow of such threads on our forums. After much discussion and community feedback, we decided to only block the trading of these five pets.

To be clear, the pets we no longer condone being traded in our forums are:

- [pet]Murky[/pet]
- [pet]Mini Tyrael[/pet]
- Original CE Pets: [pet]Panda Cub[/pet], [pet]Mini Diablo[/pet], [pet]Zergling[/pet]

There's nothing wrong with wanting these pets, but the best place to look for them is on [url=http://ebay.com]Ebay[/url] or [url=http://wowtcgloot.com]WoWTCGLoot.com[/url].

These new guidelines won't be initiated against previous posts, but any future posts seeking to trade or obtain these pets will be subject to closure and/or deletion. Older posts that are edited to try to circumvent these guidelines will also be subject to deletion.

In addition, while trading the following pets is permitted, we do advise you to use extra caution and report any posts that appear questionable:

- Blizzcon Pets: [pet]Grunty[/pet], [pet]Deathy[/pet], [pet]Murkablo[/pet]
- Expansion CE Pets: [pet]Netherwhelp[/pet], [pet]Frosty[/pet], [pet]Lil' Deathwing[/pet], [pet]Lucky Quilen Cub[/pet]
- Diablo CE Pets: [pet]Fetish Shaman[/pet]
- SC CE Pets: [pet]Mini Thor[/pet], [pet]Baneling[/pet]
- Plushy Loot Code Pets: [pet]Gryphon Hatchling[/pet], [pet]Wind Rider Cub[/pet]

Our trading forums have proven to be a wonderful resource for connecting players to complete their pet collections. It is our hope that this policy makes them safer and even more useful for collecting all of the other pets you may freely trade.

Quintessence wrote:[profile]Yenna[/profile], since it's difficult to prove/disprove whether or not the "do not trade pets" were originally in your post, it's best if you do not edit your thread to include them.

I also want to point out that had the "do not trade pets" been in your original post, and you bumped the thread to mention these specific pets, the thread would be locked. Older threads won't be deleted or locked, however bumping or updating older threads to promote the trade of these specific pets is seen as an attempt to circumvent the guideline.
