I used to get them and then post those accounts on ebay.com ( the american version, not .au using my brother-in-laws ebay account who lives in Hawaii) and sell them for 300-400usd ( at the time the aussie dollar was .70cents to 1 usd too )

The best one were the guys that had 2x level 60's where you would split them off on to a 2nd account ( before they made it harder to do this ) and at the time it only cost 59.95(client)+xfer fee but from a 100-200aud buy and then 100aud in fees you'd sell both accounts for 300-400 usd each.

It was wicked money man, I used to pick up atleast 2-3 accounts per week.

Blizzard then banned it all and said no more RMT! Which is fair enough. Ahwell all good things come to an end I guess.

Really weird story.
