It makes perfect sense.They devalued Shiny Pet charms at the end of Legion precisely because people had tons of them. Rather than do another devaluation, which is possibly quite a bit of work for them, they're doing the exact same thing as was done to get gold out of the economy, putting expensive items up for sale.There was the 5,000,000 gold auction mount, and you can still get the 2,000,000 regular mount AFAIK. Not for everyone, but if you're drowning in gold and nothing to spend it on, why not. Same here - I've got well over 6K polished charms now, and not much left to buy with them.
I certainly hope this is a mistake (the 10k price tag), having had to buy 2 pet journal expansions over the years which will now be removed. If i had not had to buy them i would very nearly have enough charms for this pet. They should make it free to all those who bought the expansions :D
Please make this non-tradable. Knowing the fact that someone can just buy this with gold is demoralizing. I think farming 10k pet charms is a feat of strength level of achievement and should not be diminished by gold/token transactions. Yes players can pay gold for many cool things in the game such as PVP ranking (aka elite appearances and illusions, etc) and AOTC, but that is exactly the reason we shouldn't have another cool looking cosmetic buyable. Please!

Haven't read thru all the comments but please DO NOT BUY the pocket portals to increase the number of pets you can hold. 9.1 is removing the cap (you can still only have 3 of each pet.) The re-colors are nice but keep in mind the 10,000 one gives your character an effect. Not sure the others will do that.
OMG . . . I hope they at least make those GRAY items into WHITE items. Otherwise a lot of addons will get rid of them at vendors. And Blizzard asks WHY people have no bag space? Because so much of what people got rid of in the past has become useful (Transmog did that anyway). Now, am I going to have to nake a "Graybanke" to hold a bunch of gray items? >.<
