WoW!

Sorry for two posts in one night, but eee! Timing! Just a day or two ago I was telling firebyrd that TCG mounts rarely get sold on our server... then one shows up! (For non-players, TCG mounts come from cards that you pay RL money for.) The one I've been looking for, too! Corrupted Hippogryph! 250K, which brings me below a million again. Arg!

I'm dying because I can't decide if I should use it or not. I'm using spectral wind rider on my AH alt (the one I'm on the most -- Thanks awhisperofdusk and veloxe! <3), and when MoP brings account wide mounts, I can use my beloved Headless Horseman horse on all of them.

So for now, it's in the special section of my guild bank:


On the left are haunted mementos, Jaina's Lockets, at the bottom are Blazing Hippogryph (TCG) and Corrupt Hippogryph. On the right are: Tabard of the Lightbringer, my small herd of Crimson Deathchargers, and Muradin's Favor.

The blazing hippo and I suppose the deathchargers will be sold in MoP (SOB! I have no reason to hold onto the horses, other thanMINE MINE MINE). I just need to decide about the corrupt hippo... I'm guessing that I might be able to double the price I paid (500K/rare TCG seems likely in a world of account-bound mounts), but... but. I don't need gold, except for one thing:

If an Invincible mount shows up on the black market AH, I might bid 999,999 for it. So I need to keep that much gold liquid. Invincible would be the perfect star of my collection of Lich King drops. (Though it would be amusing if I got it before I get that music box...)

Edit: Same guy sold me a Grell pet, the purple pufferfish pet, and the stack of starfish toy (all TCG) for 15K total. I had been thinking about flipping the pets, but they're BoP (oops), but still. The starfish sells for about 30K, so the pets are just bonus. :)

You have a corrupt hippo! /jealous! I love the hippogryph mounts (even though the blazing one sounds weird, yes I can be picky!) and I've seen that one around a couple times and always think "A dark hippo would go great with my DK!" but alas...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I love hippos, they're my favorite outside of the Headless Horseman and DK mounts.

I think I'm going to try to flip it in MoP, then if it doesn't sell for what I want, I'll use it myself.

Three deathchargers? OMG I am jealous.

Grats! :D

It started with just one extra, in case Thistle changed classes and I had to reroll him -- he'd need Symmetry as the new character, too! Then I saw another for sale... and another... I keep snatching them up!
