Vanity Pets
There is a lot of gold to be made with vanity pet selling. Now that there is an achievement for it and people don’t need to have the pet take up bag space people want every pet they can get.
The thing is like everything else, wow players are lazy. You can buy vendor pets for 50 s and price them at 5g and sell 10 + a week of each kind.
Cross faction selling is a goldmine too. If you have a second account, friend with a second account with another faction on your sever it makes it a bit easier. Or if you can post on your server forums asking for someone to contact you via email about buying something off a vendor on their side, you can get someone who is like minded and will work with you on a cross faction AH.
I usually have the person meet at a mutual ah at a set time and I list their vendor pets up for 3g each (they make 2.5g a piece) and resell them for 25g+. I usually do the same for the other person. If you sell him as many as he sells you, you will get all your money back. But it’s a safe way to know that you get something out of the deal incase he doesn’t list the ones for you to resell.
If you don’t want to work with someone cross faction, you can always list some of your pets on the mutual AH, but the listing fees are high and the AH are usually hard to get too.
One last thing is have fun with it. Make a level 1 alt and name him Petstore or something related, (if this is the only thing you want to sell on the AH) this way you don’t have people asking you on your main what you are doing or how you received the cross faction pets.
Here is a list of the Pets you can buy to resell from the vendors:

Patch 3.0.3

I couldn’t believe how many Stormspire pets I sold on the Alliance AH (my faction). So many people have no idea they’re easy to get, so I got myself a 15g profit on each…
The market has gone down a lot now, but right after Wrath I sold a LOT of cats on the neutral AH for 15-20g and make a couple of hundred g in 2-3 days.

That is a good money to be made from selling pets for sure.

A very easy way to make money. While I was leveling my priest and passed through thousand needles, I recalled hearing that the Anacoa Chickens sold well on the AH, so I picked up a bunch.
True to the word of whomever had said that to me, I made a fair ammount of gold selling them. I’m certain that selling cross faction can make even more, and at some point in the future I plan on purchasing a bunch of vanity pets from Alliance side using my Alliance alt to resell on the Horde auction house.
Huzzah for lazy people with lots of money!

It’s really amazing how much money can be made selling pets like this. I did it for awhile and made some great coin
