Inside the accounting files of NPCs

I've already said a few times that I'd love to see Blizzard's population figures, but a query (from an MVP, strangely enough) brings up another set of figures that I wouldn't mind a look at: NPC vendor sales numbers. Crepe wants to know how many items Griftah has sold (and how many hula dolls he sells post 2.3), but unfortunately, Nethaera deflects the question and leaves us with nothing. Additionally, I'd like to know how many heroic badges G'eras is going through on any given night-- maybe the fact that he's not selling many of his Heroic items is the reason why Blizzard is going to start dropping Badges in both Karazhan and Zul'Aman next week.Blizzard has given us peeks at a few numbers behind the game, but they haven't updated that page since it went up (and with all the exceptions on those lists, it's not much help anyway). There is a whole new world of statistics to be had in Outland, and it'd be nice for Blizzard to let us at just a few of the most interesting ones.

I always wondered how much money Kaja has to have. I mean, given that she's probably a smart girl, she sells the junk we give her on a daily basis for a profit probably, but still, we're looking at a three-digit numer of tons of grey items per day here.
And some fine day, I'd like to mug Grezz Ragefist in some dark alley and get all the money back he took off me for skilling my warrior. Some day Grezz, some fine day...

"but they haven't updated that page since it went up" It was last updated 2 days ago. What are you talking about?

If that information says too much, could they at least say the Most Used Vendors in the game?
