From that article:

In fact, some game accounts can be worth up to $10,000.


Who in their right F'ing mind would pay $10k for a damn WoW account?!?!?! :rolleyes:

it's probably worth it to some people with too much money, to humiliate the enemies, brag, whatever. life may suck for them, so the fantasy is a good substitute.

Chances are that anyone who would pay even nearly that much to get an account with several maxed-out toons wouldn't know how to play them anyway. They'd be able to brag on the forums as long as they didn't try to actually play. And even so, people with high level toons are fairly well known, and since you can't change the name of your character you'd be discovered as an Ebay n00b pretty quickly. You'd get blacklisted on the realm forums and not have a chance in the game since it's all about coop at high levels. Unless all you want to do is run around and kill low level characters. That'd be fun....for about 45 minutes. Well worth the money. :rolleyes:
