Being a relative noob at pet collecting

[Namaandra]

How do you know exactly what a rare pet or CE pet is actually worth in the trade world? I have an unopened CE edition. Curiosity is getting the better of me.

Well, you'll probably get a variety of offers if you go to trade something, but I like to base the price off of ebay/amazon/tcg loot site and do $1 = 1k for trading.
So just hypothetically... if something I wanted is selling on ebay for $200, I'd likely offer 200k on a high pop server (more on a medium/low pop) or possibly more on a high pop server if I really wanted it.

Basicly its what ppl are willing to pay...some servers pets sell for more then others....just out of curiosity what CE do you have? as im after them atm Xanthern#1430

Thank you, I just checked ebay. It ranges anywhere from $100-$800.. Although Im sure the 800 is a bit of a stretch.

I see a few sealed, with keys, for like $340. so I'd expect 340k ish on a high pop server.
You might get lucky and find someone willing to pay more though.

hmmmmm... interesting

One more question, I have never sold anything through wow before. Would\Can I start a thread here? Or try to sell in trade chat? Obviously, I would want the gold on the realm I play on. Stormrage. Anywhere else would be worthless to me.

You can find the rules for pet/CE trades and sales in this post

I would list it here and on ebay, unless you are set on getting in-game gold. I did most of my CE and TCG buying/selling through ebay because you get certain guarantees of legitimacy. This site has been excellent for trades, but like the main pet forums offers no protections for a deal gone bad. Just be cautious.

[Charlott]

It just depends on what you want. If you want money irl, there's a ton of good places to sell it.

If you want in game stuff, this site is pretty good (I actually do not know of any others offhand for pet trading/buying/selling). A lot of people here deal in Illidan and Stormrage gold, so I think you'd have no problem finding offers including or made up entirely of Stormrage gold. You'd probably also find people willing to part with other pets/mounts/toys/transmog items/etc for it.

I wouldn't spam in game trade, if that's what you mean by chat. That's just asking to be scammed/trolled/reported/etc. If you do that, don't give them the code first ><

Thanks again for the feedback, I think I may actually list it here.
