A buddy of mine sold his and his wife's WOW account for $2,7XX. Built a new rig with some of the money.

WOW sure is profitable, but the hours spent leveling and gaining all the shit probably equals out to less than minimum wage.

That's like saying getting paid $500 for a liter of semen is less than minimum wage. If you're gonna be doing it anyways...

:D

It is most definitely less than minimum wage - so much that I don't bother selling them anymore.

That being said, when I was in middle school/high school I made way more money than I could working, since before 16 you couldn't really have a job and I could make ~$500 in 2-3 weeks playing MMOs back then and selling them. Something which I enjoyed doing anyways.

One time I did get lucky and bought an account I intended to level off of ebay for $250 and resold it <24hr and 4 levels later for $1,500.

At 14 years old, $1,500 was a lot of money.

I could get it off your hands for you if you wanted me to act as the middle man - of course I wouldn't mind a small tip :D

That's two accounts though. I could see that if they're decently geared with multiple characters.

Really? I remember one of the GM rogues selling his account (that I believe only had one 60, the GM rogue) for over $1500. I'd have to ask him again how much it sold for... it's been awhile. There's that rogue with the Warglaives of Azzinoth that sold for $6000.
