Just noticed there was a quick patch today, I don't mind that it's fixed, but I'm still curious if anyone knows how this exploit worked?

Someone said somewhere that a vanity pet sold 2k to vendor and you could buy it back for 1k, though that's just a rumor. Well I know it wasn't the first serious economic exploit in the game and won't be the last one.
