Does anyone buy dedicated mini pets? - Guild Wars Forums

JimmyDeemo · Jun 01, 2011, 11:11 AM // 11:11

So i have a bunch of mini pets that i have dedicated, mostly whites, some purples a gold and a green.

I don't really care for them but i am sure others would and could use the cash for other HoM things. Does anyone buy them any more. I have around 20, so would you suggest selling them on GWG Auction as a big lot or individually.

Unless pets are very high end (Dhuum and such) then there is very little interest.

I simply gave all my dedi pets away (including those that cost me a few hundred thousand) in Ascalon as soon as I put them in the hall.

I brought a Dedicate Mad King(Green), but only 'cause he is cool, and I am a tight ass.

I think I paid 10k'ish, so I don't think your white ones will be worth much/if anything.

I wouldn't think it is going to be worth the bother.

the whites and the purples just trash them. depending on the gold one and the green one you might get a little money for

I have Prince Rurik and Asura for golds, and Varesh Ossa for Green. Maybe i will put them on auctions.

Cheers for the thoughts on the other pets.

I don't think Rurik is really wanted at the moment, or been for a very long time, so you might struggle there, but Asura and Varesh will get you a bit since there are only a finite amount in existence in guild wars. However, expect around, or less(most likely) than 15k for each.

yes, people buy dedicated minis (I had wanted a rurik for a long time--and an undedicated was just too costly--so I bought a dedicated one).
People sometimes just want to finish collections be they dedicated or not.. you can always put up a sell thread OR auction and see if there is any interest.

Urcscumug · Jun 01, 2011, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Varesh is one of the cheapest greens even when undedicated (~60k). Does it do better when dedicated?

Anyway, don't destroy dedicated minis, there's probably newbs in Ascalon you can give them to.

Dot Rotten · Jun 01, 2011, 03:30 PM // 15:30

If anything, just give them away, or just bin them.
As already stated, nobody wants any dedicated mini's unless they are high-end.
BUT, some people want the mini purely for the skin, so you could maybe sell, for example: a 3rd year ded purple for 500g or so.

Skyy High · Jun 01, 2011, 03:46 PM // 15:46

I announce that I'm giving them away, I never fail to get someone who wants them, even whites.

Laraja · Jun 01, 2011, 05:01 PM // 17:01

I also give my dedicated minipets away to newbies in Ascalon and they're more than happy to take them. I don't bother to sell because I've never owned a pet that still has value after dedication.

MagnumShadow · Jun 01, 2011, 05:14 PM // 17:14

I would think a ded mad king would be about 15k ish since you can buy unded for under 100k now.

The short answer is yes, people will buy them, perhaps with the exception of first year whites.

The thing is its a time vrs payout thing. If you are going to use guru auctions to sell them, fine, go ahead. After all you can leave the pet listed, and let it relist for weeks if you like, as long as you list the price low enough chances are someone will eventually buy it.

If you are planning on standing in a town and selling them then no, don't bother. They are worth so little money and so few people want them that you'd make more money just wandering outside with a party of heros and killing a bunch of stuff

In regards to the low year white pets which you are unlikely to get anything for, try Shing Jea amer 1. Stand in there and spam free pets for a while, someone will take them from you happily and you may even give a new player something they consider a little bit awesome
