A recent Reddit story serves as a reminder to ALWAYS keep an eye on the Black Market Auction House. Reddit user Cole_Country, playing a character named Nobody, got the Swift Zulian Tiger iconSwift Zulian Tiger mount for just 70,000 gold on the Turalyon realm.

A Rare Find at an Unbelievable Price!

Swift Zulian Tiger iconSwift Zulian Tiger used to drop from High Priest Thekal in Zul’Gurub. When Blizzard removed Zul’Gurub in Patch 4.0, they also removed the mount. The only way to get it now is through the Black Market Auction House, and the mount usually gets bid up to the gold cap. However, it didn’t come from a direct listing, instead dropping from an Unclaimed Black Market Container iconUnclaimed Black Market Container! These also usually go for a lot more, so Cole_Country was still pretty lucky to get it that cheap. Not to mention the luck of actually getting the mount from the chest!
