TCG pets selling relatively low, why?

Post by Caliban » April 25th, 2023, 9:49 am

Hi guys,

I'm actively selling battle pets on some of the busiest EU realms and since a few weeks have noticed that Trading Card Pets are suddenly selling for relatively very low prices (e.g. Sand Scarab for 165k, Gregarious Grell for 188k, at the moment). I'm just curious why this is, as on most other realms these pets sell for easily 300-500k. Did I miss some memo about them being handed out for free soon through Twitch or something, like with recent mounts or the Bananas TCP?

Just curious if any of you know what might be going on.

My guess is that, because Blizz has been offering Twitch Drops of older TCG items, and the Trading Post being a thing that could possibly bring back TCG items, the anticipated value for these is dropping, as they could drop for free at any time.

Hm, yes, that would be my guess too. Makes sense!

Just because they are posted for that price, doesn't mean they sell for that price. High priced pets take forever to sell in my experience.
But I bought all mine back when 40K was a high price. So 165k seems outrageous anyway.

Best to look to the undermine journal to compare asking and actual selling prices -
I'm on Proudmore and the asking prices are abso-fricken-diculous compared to the region selling values ex 20k compared to 1,3 M
