Sorry for the delay, was never able to be here in the day to post mine till now; thanks for the sensible answers (rare on this subject), first of all I am a flipper myself (buy low, sell high), it’s just that for various reasons, like not extreme patience when selling stuff that takes a high amount of gold out of my reserve, possibility that blizzard makes some changes, like making them BOP, and in that case if you have 20 rockets for sale you make a HUGE loss, and so on, I don’t try for crazy high prices and like some of you said, sell 1 mount in half a year but I rather sell them for much lower prices and generally aim for and am successful in a few days\weeks and sometimes make decent profit, it’s a bit hit and miss but didn’t make a loss once so far, though there’s been times where the profit made can be considered a draw considering the gold investment!
@Someoneelse: so with that said above I don’t use codes, the mounts are just where I buy them from black market, I don’t do that on high pops cause generally they go for high prices, but if you can get them low-ish it’s sometimes worth it to transfer them to high pop and sell them there, it generally covers the transfer cost, more so if you have both a rocket and rhino on the low pop realm.
@Revan, indeed, there’s a lot of flippers, example on alleria my rocket that finally sold after 1,5 weeks for 1,3 mil was bought by a 2,7 mil flipper, that’s gotta be a hard work, if already no one wanted it for half!
@Ba, there’s mostly 3 tcg mounts I like, the dragonhawk, feldrake and blazing hippo, rest doesn’t impress me that much, and like you and also @dahlia said, indeed people don’t have a lot of gold on average, the problem of these mounts is also that (rocket and rhino) around 1,5% of players have them, so roughly 1 player every 67, and I think that 1,5% is a high % of those that even have the gold to afford them, so remaining buyers are few and far between, unless price is basically lowest eu, which are the prices I deal with!
