More on cross-faction pets

I've mentioned selling cross-faction pets in the neutral AH to make some easy Warcraft gold previously. If you are Allianace, you can sell Kittens (Cat Carriers) purchased in Goldshire. If you are Horde, you can sell snakes purchased in Orgrimmar.

These both cost 50 silver and sell for about 4 gold in the neutral AH.

The only problem with this is that not everybody visists the neutral AH. On some servers this is almost unused.

But what if you had a friend who played the opposite faction on the same server? Or indeed, if you have 2 accounts. You can pass any item to each other through the neutral AH and sell in your normal AH. You just sell these pets to each other for cost and make a big profit in your own AH. I've seen kittens sell for 10 to 15 gold each in the Horde AH and snakes selling for 8 to 12 gold in the Alliance AH.

Don't have any friends playing the other faction? Or maybe you don't have any real-life friends at all? :)

No problem, Blizzard are offering a free 10 day trial to anybody. Just enter an email address and it's yours. Your "friend" can easily set up an account for 10 days and pass a few dozen pets over to you for 50 silver each during the free trial. You then sell these over the next few weeks for 10 gold profit a time.
