Currently, the only way to 'give away' a pet is to set it to 1 gold. It'd be nice if we could just make that free. I know it's a bit of a nitpick, but there could just be a checkbox that says 'put on sale' where you put the price in, and keeping at 0 would have it be free.

1g and 0g, there is so little difference that 1g is basically free. To change the code to make 0 possible too would result in people finding it harder to remove pricing on their pets as it would then be for sale for 0 gold. Lots of mess for krin to fix, not to mention the coding aspect of it. No support, 1g is basically free thats fine with me

Agreed with Kattya. This seems like a lot of work for Krin for something that really doesn't improve anything. Sorry, but no support here either.

I agree the coding is a lot to do and that will be tough for krin to code to make a 0g for free and 1g is the lowest to go and won't make a different to the gold that you have. so no support sorry.

Support! it has been annoying to set pets up for 1g, i think 0g would be better.

No support. You can earn 300g in ten seconds in Trollsblight Caverns, there's no point in saving 1 gold.

I would rather have a way to send a pet to a specific person, thus not needing the whole 'set it up to a specific ID for 1 G' mechanic, because I agree that having it set to 0g would be very confusing because 0g is also how you take pets off of being for sale.
Alternatively, and I wouldn't really like this, as I like the current set up of how pets are sold, make a 'shop' that players can put their pets in, and give them a price. Then there would be a simple setup where under manage pets there would be a simple tickbox that says 'give pet away' and other players could grab the pet.
For me, it isn't so much the 1 g price, as that is rather negligible, but rather the ease of accidentally setting it up for sale to someone you don't mean to (once I set a pet up to account 5K, for the price of the account I was trying to sell that pet to) or to everyone, and that it just isn't really all that intuitive the way it is now.

Youre statement have a way to send a pet to a specific person made me think of CoDs
If we could send pets to people like CoDs that would be useful for when the other person is busy and you want to make sure the pet gets home right away for whatever reason,
however o-o I get the feeling trolls would be shooting pets at people randomly and youd have to be declining pet CoDs all day long...

I was thinking that as well.
Honestly, I don't think we would have this problem, if it worked like a CoD. I mean, we don't have people shooting CoDs at people so they have to decline it now do we?
Also, having the CoD expire after a certain time limit and the pet returned to the original owner (or to prevent issues with stable space, perhaps the pet never leaves the owner's stables until the CoD is accepted?)
There would be things that would need to be worked out, but I think it would be doable, and I don't think it would be abused (at least much :P I am aware that there are always one or two, relatively, players who just love to abuse things like this)
Edit: I just remembered that, while a CoD for pets would be nice, it could be made even easier to keep the current set up for actually selling pets (or modify it slightly so it is less likely to be accidentally misused, such as making it so it needs the name of the player and not the ID), and then just use the 'send to player' for giving a pet away for free.
While, yeah, you could have people just send pets to players who don't want them, it could be made against site rules to do this. Another site I play has something like this, and I believe it is against site rules to send pets to other players without asking first. (though naturally it depends on the other player complaining)
This would mean that the other player has to have stable space, and there is no 'limbo' for pets and no issue with pets returning to stables that might be filled to capacity.
