Been gifted several pets by a guildie. My best deal though was yesterday. 2 tiny green carp for 100g each. Listed one for 2499 and learned the other.

I just found an uncommon P/S Gilnean Raven for 5 gold on the auction house and immediately bought it :-)

There have been a mess of pets I've picked up much below their real value, but the ones that stand out the most are from vanilla:

Hyacinth Macaw 1g50s
Dark Whelpling 100g
Azure Whelpling 150g
Disgusting Oozeling 300g

The Hyacinth was the pet I wanted the most back in vanilla, so I was unbelievably excited! I didn't even find it on the auction house. I had put in trade chat "WTB Hyacinth Macaw". Someone messaged me and said he'd sell me the one he found for 1gold 50silver - so win!

Not auction house, and no one get mad at me for this, but...

I got my VH for free from a guildie who knew I collected.

Now, I realize this will not sound like a deal but I got the Hyjal bear for 1.5k on the AH today. :lol: So happy. I hate rep farming and I really didn't like the dailies in Cata particularly, so I never even tried but now I have it! Yay!

More on topic, I tend to get most of my best via bidding rather than buyouts. For some reason, most people on my server just don't care I guess. I've only had two pets that I was outbidded by and one of those I'd expected to be so it's been good AH hunting for me. I got two or three of those dragons for around 500 each (not the proto but the other ones.)

If you're on my server, you didn't read this. This is just a blank white post. *mojojojo*

After hours and hours of farming on six different toons for months and STILL no Black Tabby? I found an unlearned one on the AH for 250g. Yay :D

Way, way back when I was levelling my warlock gnome (this was in 2006, I believe), I found a Hyacinth Macaw on the AH listed for 1G50S. Somebody didn't know what they had. I let my little gnome learn it because she didn't have any pets yet. I didn't realize at the time what a big deal pet collecting would become and lamented that pet being on an alt when the bulk of my collection was elsewhere. It turned out just fine, though! :)

Then recently, I bought a Crimson Whelpling for 100g.

I just bought two s/s death adders for a buyout of 450 gold each. I will have to stone them, but I am quite happy with that.

[pet]Rotten Little Helper[/pet] 75g
[pet]Eye of the Legion[/pet] 1000g

I've made some pretty good deals on AH but those are the ones I remember the best. Especially that Rotten Little Helper which I bought as unlearned when Winter Veil was still on. Now I've seen them on Horde AH (Stormrage EU) for about 10k gold.

I found an S/S GIlnean Raven for 10g on some random server using Undermine Journal. I guess whoever listed it had no idea about the discontinued breeds and the high value of an S/S Raven.
