In my continuing effort to understand and assess the feasibility of working in the cross-realm battle pet sales market I've been doing some data collection and analysis. I thought I'd share some of that research with all of you today.

As many of you may know there currently isn't any way to look up caged battle pet pricing on auction house data sites like The Undermine Journal and WoWuction. This leaves it up to each player to collect and analyze the data themselves. Head past the jump for some of the average prices I've seen for certain battle pets.

In this day's episode we work on researching and recording pricing for cross-realm battle pet arbitrage across 4 different servers. We also answer lots of questions and even check out a fairly crazy MMO gaming mouse.

We really live finding these fiddly types of markets. It remains to be seen whether the amount of work involved in selling battle pets cross-realm is worth it but I love digging in to find out.

Part 1: WoW Gold-Making! 12.14.12 Pt.1/3 Afternoon Routine by Jim Younkin is above. You can find parts 2 and 3 after the jump.

In this episode we not only go over our normal routine (83-84, etc.) but also start to set up a spy army of level 1 Starter Edition characters on our various servers. We did this in order to easily be able to track pricing and supply of battle pets in order to look for battle pet sales/arbitrage opportunities.

This livestream clocks in at just over 2 hours (split into three 40 min. segments) which feels like a really good length overall. Part 1 is above. Parts 2 and 3 are after the jump.

We've been working on the process of analyzing the possibility of buying pets on one server and selling them on another. In the process we've done a few things to prepare including creating a Starter Edition account and building level 1's on all the servers we are planning to try this on.

One of the things we realized was that we needed a quick way to be able to asses the battle pet markets on these servers as well as track the prices across servers to look for opportunities to buy and sell battle pets across server profitably.

While we won't go into all of the work we did to try to solve this problem we are going to share the Auctionator Shopping List that we built off of Kaexo's list that he provided in the post "Buy Battle Pets On One Server, Sell On Another". Head past the jump for the Auctionator-importable list.

Today's post is about Battle Pets and was originally left as a few comments on a previous post by reader Kaexo.

Kaexo was gracious enough to let me repost their comments in this blog post. Read on past the jump for some of Kaexo's insights and experience making gold buying and learning Battle Pets on one server and caging and selling them on another.

There has been much speculation around what would happen to our current pets when it comes to the Pet Battles system being introduced in Mists of Pandaria.

We've seen a blue post indicating that some pets may become "Rare" when caged. Some have done analysis on where these pets come from.

To set the record straight (at least as far as the current beta build is concerned) I wanted to test caging all my pets on the current Beta client (Beta Client: 5.0.4 (15929) Jul 31, 2012) and see what happened. Head past the jump for my (rather interesting) results.
