My point is, gaming auctions are big biz, and suppliers of their products are cashing in. These guys run 10 comps all day, every day, buying and selling items in game, making cash, virtual platinum, in game, then selling it for real world money to the tune of $200,000 plus a year if not more. The auction company that facilitates such sales has to be raking in the cash if one user can pull income like that from their site.
Kids as young as 12 pulling $30k a year just playing video games. The one catch is most game companies such as sony strictly forbid these sales, but this doesnt stop these guys in the least, as you can tell by looking at the site. There are 400,000+ players of just everquest, thats a helluva customer base right off the bat, no need to go looking for them, they find you!
