Some are better than others. You really have to look to find the gems. Such as:

My first examples weren't even that good. You should really explore this thing. Give it some time.

I never understood what's so great about Craigslist....
*shrug*

[Cobra951]

It was recently cited as a reason to reduce the size of the Cincinnati Enquirer (local newspaper).  No more classifieds 2 days out of the week, and some merged sections.

[MysterD]

Never knew that.
That's actually interesting.

I sold my WoW account for $950 through Craigslist. I gave the account info to a friend in Cali and he traded the info for cash in person then deposited the money into my bank account. Actually I did 2 accounts that way, the first went for $400.

[Pugnate]

Dude...

[MysterD]

That's some crazy money, hehe.
So, how much did you spend on the WoW software itself and all the monthly fees?

In other words, how much profit?

[Ghandi]

Well, even if he spent 95 hours on the one account he made 10 bucks an hour. But I'm guessing the actual hours spent is much higher than that.

Edit: In other words, profit is relative to time spent playing.

[idolminds]

Assuming he paid $50 for WoW and another $30 for one expansion, as long as he played less than 58 months before selling the account then he made a profit on the $950 sale. Seeing as how WoW hasn't even been out for 58 months total....yeah, he made money. Plus he got to enjoy playing the account for however long before selling it.

[MysterD]

W7, what level was your character before you sold it?
And much time did you put into that character before you sold it?

[Ghandi]

Even if he made money you can hardly call it profitable (assuming he spent a lot of time playing). 

[idolminds]

Not in the sense of spending that time doing something you get paid for, no. But he got more money than he put it and got to spend time playing the game itself (and I assume thats free time, something he wouldn't get paid for anyway).

[W7RE]

I made the rogue in November 2004 and sold it mid 2008, so...

42 months (3.5 yrs) @ $15
$50 for the game
$40 for TBC expansion (I think)
------------------------
$720 invested



The Paladin had a low amount of time played since he was an alt, but was in mostly season 2 gear (healing and dps) with T5 equivalent PvE sets for healing and dps, T5 equivalent tanking set. This was around the time of late Season 3/Black Temple. Oh he also had a season 2 gladiator mount. This character was on the same account and was the one that sold for $400.

The rogue was in 8/8 Tier 6 with the majority of his Sunwell upgrades and a mainhand warglaive. I think he was missing 1 piece of brutal gear (season 4). He also had a gladiator mount. He had over 200 days /played since he was my main for close to 4 years.





I used the money to buy a 22" LCD, a Radeon 4850, 4 gigs of RAM, and a couple games (Warhammer Online, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4) and probably some other crap. Oh plus a new copy of WoW haha. By the time I sold the rogue I had a second level 70 rogue in greens on the same account. When I sold the first rogue, I transferred the fresh one onto a new account so I could level him to 80 in Wrath of the Lich King. Though I rerolled alliance and now have an 80 death knight and a 67 rogue.






EDIT: If I really wanted to, I could probably level a character 1-80 in less than a month, then another month to gear it out in heroic gear, then sell it. I'd probably make $500 tops, which isn't much for 2 months of work. The sales were a nice chunk of change though for work I would lose with the new expansion anyway, since leveling to 80 makes your old gear obsolete.

Haha, damn.  That's a bold request.  I hope somebody responds, that would be sort of awesome.

[iPPi]

Wow.

[Ghandi]

Haha, damn.  That's a bold request.  I hope somebody responds, that would be sort of awesome.

No one will respond. It would be horrible degrading to be in that position.
