The starting bid was 100$, and went up to 2000$
The Spectral Tiger Loot card give you access, via a scratch-off code, to the in game mount called Spectral Tiger. It s the only way to get this mount, right now. Would you pay that much for an epic mount out dated in a few months?

Gimme ... please...My Lock would look sooooo good on it!
Nooo.. really he who ever bought it... Wanted that CARD so badly... liek it's godly atleast xD
There is nothing in any agreements against this kind of trading.
You are buying a real world card for the money, and the by-product (the tiger mount) hasn't been activated yet.
This means that you aren't technically trading in-game items at all, cause the item (the spectral mount) hasn't been linked to any characters yet.
Paying such an amount of money for an in-game mount seems a bit silly to me. Then again, I'm not really in a position where prowling eBay for loot cards and dropping that kind of money on one is a financially intelligent decision.
If I may add, also: novelist, get over yourself.
Has Blizzard come out and said.... It doesn't matter what blizzard says. This is a real-world purchase for a real-world item. Blizzard has no authority in the matter.
People who whine and complain about other people spending there money on what they want, either haven't the funds to spend foolishly or they are simply jealous. Get a better job. Besides, the people who actually spend money foolishly like this ( me included ) laugh at you all for bashing it. You poor, poor broke jealous bastards....
Legal to buy it? It's a trading card game. Often cards are sold for money. I don't see why this should be any different, just because the card contains a code for an in-game item.
Also, keep in mind that just because someone bids $2000 for an item doesn't mean they will pay the $2000.
It is all about the relative amount of $2000. For your average, self sustaining college student, that's a silly amount of money... but for the WoW playing $250,000/year chief technologist for some major company... its nothing (especially if the person has had the job long enough to have bought the house and cars they want).
Is it legal to buy the card for an in-game item? I mean - has Blizzard come out and said: "Yeah, let's clarify our position by stating that cards are alright to buy/sell?" I'm not trying to claim a position or side in this - nor am I passing judgment.
And - I'd buy it, if $2,000 was nothing to me, but it ain't, so I suppose No.
My biggest problem - which character to use the card on.
No.
