What's scary is that, in the world of selling online characters, that would actually be considered a really good listing. The guy actually takes the time to explain the legal nuances, etc. ... I was sort of impressed, honestly.



As to whether that character is worth that sort of money ... no idea. He sounds like he's pretty tough, though.  :)

Eh, I must be getting old or something....I read through that listing and have ABSOLUTELY no clue what half of it means.....only that it would probably take the next 5 years of my life to figure out and attain what this guy did with this character.  Sounds like he can kick some ass though...  :twisted:

Thanks Jason :)
Like I said, I by no means claim to know such things (boo, hisss...). Just thought incase it was it would be a shame to let that one slip through the net when there was probably someone here who would want it.


Mount Celestia doesn't want me and Baator's afraid I'll take over.

Did any of you save this listing? It has been removed and there is no additional information. Just curious what it was & how much?

Thanks,

It was something like a 70th-level Troll Fighter with a ton of magic items and what amounts to a few "epic-level" skills.

Given the circumstances — WoW player in need of quick cash — I was just impressed that the listing was in complete, lucid English sentences.

I wonder why they took it down? I was under the impression that you can sell online characters on eBay ... or maybe they fall under the "virtual goods" heading that eBay seems to be frowning on these days?

Well, hopefully it won't end up like this one:




** expired/removed eBay auction **




Still no item, still no response to inquiries about when it was shipped.  This doesn't make me feel better either:

No but I reported him (for the PDF's)...
