I just sold a regular old rancor to some guy for 5k. You'd have to just value your time. If you went out and hunted those things down for 8 hours because you really wanted/needed one, hold onto 'em. I, on the other hand, was just doing rancor missions for money, and thought it'd be fun to tame one, since I never have (I don't really bother taming wild pets).

Got to agree with the post that said charge what you want. Having pets and selling them is part of the CH role, so why not make as much as you can by doing it?

Personally when I sell people pets I ask them to pay me what they think the pet is worth. I've sold a Dewback lvl 10 mount at 15k cause someone really wanted a Dewie and a pair of razor cats for 2k cause a low lvl Ch needed a hand up the ladder, at the end of the day you are selling them so you can decide on a price.

Or look at it anotherway , if you sell an armoursmith a mount for what he thinks he should pay , then there is a fair chance that he/she will allow you a similair deal on some armour ????

Let the capitolists make as much money as possible, I just wanna meet people and be able to trade fairly with them.

I remember back when I first started the long route to MCH and some random MCH just came up to meand gave me a low lvl BE Angler (I think it was 9k health and CL 7 - of course it got nerfed later). That was the nicest thing that ever happened to me in the game at that time. Much laterwe becamebuddies and members of the same guild. Now I always give my surplus animals away to novice CH to help them on their way. The money I could make selling a pet is minute compaired to what I make doing missions and bazaar sales anyway. On the other hand I stopped mounting pets for ppl because the last few ppl I helped that way pretty much treated me as a slave. So pretty much: be nice and ppl tend to be nice to you.


And to answer your question: I don't think there is a set price for pets, and especially because the marked is so small today most ppl will be happy just to find a CH that have what they want (c:

My rule of thumb has always been 1k for every level of CL....CRC is level 29 so in my book he actually got off cheap.


But thats just my pricing

I logged in quickly last night and was at Theed when 2 things happened, I got a tell asking me to train a mount, I said I would have to charge, the guy said how much, I said 15k (I'd recently done the same for 2 other players, one paid me 20k, the other 10k so I split the difference). The guy said no deal, I said fine and found out afterwards he was a novice CH, so I apologise now for being a bit of an arse at the time (can' remember his name right now). Anyway, the next thing was thatI got a tell asking if I had any Razor cats for sale, I replied I had 2 CRCs, but wasn't sure I wanted to sell them (I'd had them a while and they were kinda special to me). Eventually, I agreed to sell them for 20k apiece, since I would need room in my datapad and would rather they were used than being destroyed. Was this a fair deal, or did I rip the guy off, or vice versa? I really have no idea when it comes to selling wild pets.

IMHO, it's your right to ask for as much as you want. You can sell your pet for 100k. I wouldn't say you ripped him off. If he's willing to pay, or not pay, it's his decision. You named a price, and he either pays or doesn't. I don't think you should feel guilty if you think you "overcharged" him. That's his choice.


Ripping off would be if you said you're selling a frenzied graul but instead you give him a graul. That's what I consider ripping off. But then again, I'm a capitalist American pig.
