Some one trying to flip Mini Karka
A collector.
Some people just gotta own them all; and they have wallets to cover it. You might not, 99.9% of the game’s player base might not. But that’s ok, because you evidently aren’t the target audience of the seller (And given the total absence of supply, it’s not an unreasonable gamble)

And now the same is happening with mini reef drake, there are only 4 at tp. I think it would be a good invest buy now and sell in a few days for 300g like the mini karkas.
The supply was very limited and at their cheapest back in november they were 30g. Not unreasonable seeing that they aren’t really that easy to get.
No one in their right mind is going to pay that much for a mini pet. It’s just flippers making bad decissions trying to play the market. There have been 15 or so up for sale since the Karka event took place and that number has remained unchanged for over 6 months. I know this. I check on a weekly basis. Some flipper bought up the supply and is simply attempting to manipulate the market. I wish him good luck on his endevour.

Since minipets don’t account bound, they only dissapear if someone who owns one quits playing. If the owner only paid a fraction of the new high price, they might be inclined to sell it for huge profits, undercutting the new price. Minipets are kinda risky investments, since they don’t get removed after use.
