World of Warcraft Account Sells For $9500

World of Warcraft is a game that will drive you nuts from day one, so it’s normal practice for people to buy pre-made accounts for several hundred dollars. But when the value of an account shoots up to several thousand dollars, Blizzard is sure to catch on. Player Zeuzo went and apparently spent countless hours getting the widely known Twin Blades of Azzinoth heroics, only to end up selling them to another player for $9500.
Now keep in mind, this is a virtual item that is worthless. To boot, if you have the Twin Blades of Azzinoth, there really isn’t much left for you to do in World of Warcraft anyway. Guess someone has a lot of money and a really small…foot.

Its only “worthless” if there is no market for it. The sale on e-bay and your article proves that there is a market for it and thus has worth.

I make my living off of virtual goods, mostly buying and selling warcraft accounts. Selling an item for that amount is pretty phenomenal, since the highest grossing accounts (like first or second best in class for a server) will sell for about 500-600 USD.
I want to know where this guy found a buyer because he must have found a sucker. It would have been cheaper to hire a few a multiboxing farmer to play full time, and he’d have it in a few weeks. $9500… I won’t make that in a year teaching in China.
