Another possible explanaion-
There is a 50,000 gold cap when realm transferring characters. Folks will craft or buy items to fill up their bags with items that may have value on their new server and then attempt to sell them, sometimes even at a loss.

Possible but improbable, Why would those people craft the most expensive mount that requires all the other mounts and not just make as many panthers as they could? (Which sell for 20k easily on most servers I have toons on.)
Secondly there are too many people selling these items at ridiculously low prices for this to be just a couple of people who don't get how simple economics work.
I think the truth is Blizzard don't want to admit they have no idea how this item is currently being duped.
I refuse to trust anything that's on sale at such a massive loss to the crafter unless it's one of the engineering mounts that can apparently turn up in Blingtron presents. It makes no sense no matter how long they've been on sale for.
Then again, I can't afford them either way, so...
Well the Engineering mount isn't really a loss to the crafter unless you count a few mins a day as a loss.
Just using the farm at Halfhill my Alchemist and Blacksmith/Miner make enough ore to craft the parts needed for the Sky Golem on a daily basis. I see those mounts sold for sub 20k all the time and really don't think its too little. As more and more people get them the price will drop.
But yeah, Spending around 75k to then sell it for 20k is insanity and there is clearly something amiss, and like I said above the only reason action isn't being taken by Blizzard is they can't figure out how it's being done.

As someone who crafted some Panthers within the first couple months of the expansion, and then who spent the next
12
months trying to sell them, it is simple economics to sell panthers for cheap now.
When the next WoD comes out, you probably won't be able to sell the for 5k as everyone will be after the newer and shinier mount. I imagine people are simply trying to
minimize
their losses at this point, as opposed to making any profit.
That is just idiotic
I'm still selling mechanohogs for 15k
Selling Panthers for 25-30k
Vial of the Sands for 35-40k
You don't know what you are talking about, sure BoA has reduced our sales but the best time to sell is when a new expansion breaks, new players, returning players.

IMO, I would never buy an old expansion's mount during a new expansion's rush. New expansion mount? Yeah, you can make some serious cash right there. I still treat them as dupes because it makes no sense to me but it could definitely be people just trying to get rid of them. Anyone that has the money to buy them has already got them and since mounts are account wide these days it lessens the times you can sell them, especially depending on your server.
