Why are characters so cheap?

Alot of the reason is on the demand side imo. Much of the rewarding part in this game is leveling up your character to many people. Buying a character destroys this. There is also a negative social element with buying a character sometimes. Plus people who have platinum to buy expensive things have high level characters, unless they are sick of their character they are likely not that interested in another

Not to mention it could be bad for the buyer if the character being sold has a terrible reputation that people associate with the name.
