Tome Of Polymorph: Turtle...Drops In Cata?

Wow. That didn't last long, did it? I just received an email from a reader that I needed to share with ya'll:

Alto,

I just read your post on "the shampoo efffect". Well, I got something for you. I hope you aren't invested highly in the Tome of Polymorph Turtle, as they have been able to be fished out of Cata water for around a month now. I have not seen you or anyone else mention anything of this, so here is my contribution to your great blog. Don't go anywhere! You cannot, I said so!

Thanks Pinkie! Perfect timing.....

After verifying this at Wowhead.com, I see that it is a viable issue that can affect all us "flippers". I do feel that the price will not drop crazy, as the droprate is still an issue, but the rarity of this item has completely been washed with this "new" [at least to me] information.

So if you have them in your bags stockpiling, you might want to check your server, post in the AH, or even /2 trade before you see an influx of them floating around, and you see the average price drop from the 1-2K you are used to seeing to half of that.

*By an influx, even though this is still a "rare" drop, there will be more than ZERO dropping like we have all thought and have been told with ZG dying off, and no Ghaz to drop this little nugget of gold. They markets won't be "flooded", but you will see more than you have been. Can you say "Savory Deviate Delight"? I don't think it will be that crazy, but from going from a "never gonna see it again" to a "dropping in Cata", that's a difference there.....something we need to keep an eye on.

Once again, wow. That post I did just a an hour ago has already been outdated.....

I will continue to do my best on keeping ya'll updated, so keep watching, and thanks again Pinkie for the news!
