Holy Jesus people keep throwing this story out of perportions. Blizzard thinks " well now people can get these pets in game through trading" and everyone thinks "ZOMG blizzard is selling GOLDZ!" They are not, they are planning on making a profit, but they are not introducing money to the game, only an item which can be traded for gold. It's not quite the same as those gold farmers who take your cash for gold and introduce up to 100K gold into the economy out of thin air.
It's regular players buying and selling things as they always have. Even if these are abundant on the market, its 10 dollars a pop, so buying more then just a few can be daunting on one's wallet. And secondly if they are abundant, then who's to say they are valuable? Even harder to get items right now arnt' exactly that expensive, these might sell for 500g or something. I'm just saying, people like to take stories, find the minor flaw in the plan, and BLOW IT OUT OF PERPORTION!
