Selling and buying accounts is something very common in World of Warcraft, even though it's strictly forbidden by Blizzard. Good geared characters are often sold for a few houndred dollars although a few weeks ago one of the currently best geared rogues available was sold - for 7,000 Euro (~$9,700).
The original owner, a Night Elf Rogue named Zeuzo from the guild Method on Sylvanas(EU) was one of the two only people in the world wielding both legendary swords dropping off Illidan Stormrage, final boss of the Black Temple. He also had 4/5 parts of the tier6 armor set, together with various other drops from Black Temple and Mount Hyjal, which could be considered as the best gear available in the game right now.
The new owner goes under the name Shaks and has moved the character to the Kazzak(EU) realm.
Zeuzo, here's a few tips on what you can buy for 7,000€. # A Rolex watch # A Car # A VTL Pre-Amplifier # 250,000 WoW Gold # 3 nights in a suite at the Palms in Las Vegas # A nice vacation for you and 4 friends in Australia # 2 Alienware Area-51 ALX Desktops # 209 Steelpad S&S SK Edition
Feel free to comment your own tips!

Wow...jesus christ the guy who bought it 'Shaks' obviously has no life at all , and also From the looks of the offical owner Zeuzo , this guy must have been raiding none stop BT to get all that gear and none stop PvP after that , also he has 84k of honor just sitting there ,To be honest i think Blizzard should delete that Charecter Sheet from the Armory , i bet Shaks is sitting at his PC now looking at it and saying '' Why the fuck did i pay ($/£)9,700 for this?? '' .......Beacause your a retard thats why.......now i feel sorry fro the buyer and feel overly happy for the Seller . A. He is now ($/£)9,700 Richer and he can spend it on whatever he wants , B . he could jsut restart another account ...lol mayby 10 accounts with that amount of money , or even get richer and richer if he puts his mind to it ....

Blizzard must have gotten wind of the sale and decided to maybe teach a valuable lesson. :)
selling the acount can be easily done over ebay, and they can transfer the char to another account as long as the credit/debit card number are the same (which can be changed), then from there when you xfer the char to a different realm just make a char with the same name on the realm you're xfering to, and it'll force you to rename the char, quite simple actually
Maybe I'm daft but how can you sell an account and rename the character? Doesnt that require Blizzards cooperation?
Ridlyblade - WOW i just went and had a look, 2 undead rogues on the same server in the same guild both duel wielding both Warglaives talk about lucky LOL /cheer,
Lothaer
With that money I'd buy myself the new HP Blackbird.
kinda makes it easy to see if the account is sold...
one of only a handful of people that HAVE both warglaives... suddenly the CC info changes... i'd be suspiscious myself
gee that is crazy. :P
when it was sold it was.
one of two only people weilding both?
we have two on the Illidan realm, Furi and Lars
btw, the guy who sold the account is still in the same guild on a different character. I think the guild is smart enough to realise them weapons will be redundant when WotLK even if they last until 80. Might as well make what money you can out of it eh?
Wow, amazing are you all retarded?
THE ACCOUNT IS ALREADY BANNED. THE LAST LOGIN IS SEPTEMBER 3RD AND THAT IS HOW IT WILL STAY.
Once an account is banned it does not disappear off armory. Please, all of you learn how to play! Thanks!
