selling shit for blizzard currency and paypal
$1 transaction fee per item (actual gear)
15% sale price (gems, etc)

selling shit for paypal
additional 15% transfer fee applied after other fees


so for re-investing back into other items, sell for blizzard account balance, send to paypal only for profiteering (take away of 85% minus 1 dollar for items)

to sell gems, its probably going to make sense to trade in-game player to player to bypass auction house fees, then reinvest that money into a piece of gear to sell for real money

in-game gold auction house (all items) takes 15% of in-game gold listing

must add and authenticator and sign up for mobile sms texts to verify every paypal withdrawal

people really think theyre going to make a living off this

get a goddamn job, al

Will be nice for some extra money. Possibly before the economy stabilizes you could sell some lucky drops and make a decent amount, but it will be short lived or far between later on.

Items with nostalgic names found early will probably be the most profitable at the start. Even if they aren't that great, with a lot of things not circulating, a Windforce could appear to be worth more to a buyer early on.

sell to elitists/perfectionists

hopefully the skill element in high-difficulty play is greater than the gear element. i want to be able to beat inferno without purchasing things with currency outside the game

but only because im a top dog, casual people can buy shit or take forever or die alot or all of the above
