:edit: Forgot to add, check his feedback, his last purchase was the account he's selling! He paid $450!

$10,000 ?????

*snort*

I didn't think that Blizzard let you sell your characters etc on?

[Allen]

I'm pretty sure they don't. But, how can they tell who's selling their account?

Besides, they use the term "you're paying for the time it took" so you're not actually selling the char per se.

[Hedgeh]

To be honest I don't think anyone is going to be so stupid as to pay that much, especially seeing as you could get someone to level your char to 60 for about $500 and you get the advantage of choosing your name, class and server. As to the person who'd level you for that price it would appear to be a company who power level and sell gold for real money for serveral MMORPG, certainly an intriguing way to make a living.

Blizzard put a big thing on their website saying they are fully against the act of selling ingame stuff for real money and will be disabling accounts left right and centre as they come across them.

$10,000 for that chara is stupid, i know you are paying for the time he has put into getting it to where it is but still!! wow hasnt been out that long in the US and its nowhere near worth paying that much for... i can understand when people were paying over that for jedi accounts on SWG but that was ALOT more time .

[Allen]

I wonder if it's the same guy that sold the "virtual island" for something stupid like $25k...

[Hedgeh]

An investement . Can't wait to find out what he does when the game reaches its inevitable demise.

I was reading in Wired magazine, about a year ago, about how some Americans had set up a sweat shop just over the border in Mexico where young mexicans were paid a pittance to 'work' 12 hour shifts in Everquest. All the loot, items, etc, they collected were being sold on e-bay and the people running the thing were making a mint out of it.

There's n'owt stranger than folk

There's a lot of that done by people in china...

I like the way it's only to be shipped within the US. Damn that overseas t'internet shipping

[Dooms]

he would only be able to sell it in the US anyway due to the chara being on a US server.

People have been doing thi sfor ages, there were people selling Diablo items on eBay..
m8 of mine even got ripped off selling "Redmoon" items on ebay, thing is he did it thru paypal, the account used to pay for them was a highjacked account so the money got taken back off of him shortly after and he lost the items but ebay wouldnt do anything about it as they werent actual physical items...
Luckily hes a redmoon admin and just tracked the items thru the system n took them back and locked the other guys account lol
