I had a Soul Trader once... But I traded it for a Viscous Horror.
I did it with tears in my eyes, but I thought, I can always buy another Soul Trader somewhere, but the Horror may never appear again on the AH after the next patch.
Congrats on yours though.
I am hoping to see more Viscous Horrors on the AH when the next expansion hits. Guild running old content for achievements and the such. *crosses fingers*
I had a similar thing happen to me about two years or so ago before being able to trade cross realm, I was on a rather quiet server and decided to check out the Alliance trade chat/AH (I'm a hordie) and found someone trying to sell an ethereal. Long story short, it seemed alliance didn't like pets as I managed to get him for 40k! I swear I had never been so excited over a pet.
Congratulations on your pet it's one of the best ingame i think
I'm so happy for you I'M almost in tears! Congratulations. I can easily understand, especially the gold bit, as I'm a person who never has more than 3 or 4k gold. I buy too many pets and mounts for that.
