I sold my WoW characters for $600 and bought myself a decent digital camera.
Back when Ultima Online was in its heyday there was a virtual real-estate market where people would pay for player housing because there was only a limited amount of space to place property. It would range from $50 for a small shack out in the middle of nowhere to upwards of $2000 for a castle near popular cities.
It's unreal what people will pay for pixels on a screen.
Actually, there's supposed to be a new FPS game being released by EA Games where you have to pay real money for upgraded weapons in the game. There's also a racing game coming out where you buy better cars or car parts to race with for real money.
Anyways, sorry to go off-topic.
