ON MY LAP SONNY BOY Plus The Danger of Having Your Gold and Selling It Too (1/2)
It’s just about Christmas and I’m feeling the generous spirit of St. Nick take over me.
Part of that is indulging in all the holiday sweets and gaining a bowling ball gut, and the rest is reading this pleading e-mail from Todd who wants to know how he can have his Gold and sell it too.

I felt it was my duty to help sonny boy here, considering his question got stuck in the spam folder. He must be cursing me now for not helping him out in his time of need and missing out on the first Gold rush when Cataclysm erupted.
So even though I want to review another hack seller and squeeze in two dozen creative invectives to describe their service, I will devote a couple of posts for you Todd. Just don’t expect candy–they’re all mine!
Do you have any sites that you’d recommend for smaller transfers?
Easy peasy, Todd. Don’t sell to someone you won’t buy from. You’ll be a fool to think that the China-based scammers I’ve mangled in this website will have stellar purchasing credentials–they won’t!
The same verb-deficient customer service personnel, the same shoddy practices, the same goal of getting as much profit at the expense of your sanity. Don’t even let them know you have Gold to sell Todd because chances are they’ll try and rip you off it!
Besides, why go halfway across the Pacific into the terrible shanties of desperation? Honorable mention MOGS.com has a very stringent seller verification process that, if you pass it, will be very profitable indeed. I just haven’t checked whether the "smaller transfers" you’re referring to means you only plan to ship Gold until it covers your monthly sub, but it wouldn’t hurt to ask them.
They’re nice guys, really, despite sounding like bank guards in the way they talk about verifying your seller status. EpicToon.com is also great if you want things quick and more laidback, but still trustworthy at the things that matter like paying you on time.
Guides on etiquette and what to expect?
Well how would you treat someone who feeds and clothes you? Play loud rock music and rebel!
Seriously, ditch any notion that you’re doing them any favors. Profuse thanks are in order once you get into the circle and remind them once in awhile that you appreciate the partnership. No need for lavish gifts–a note of thanks will do. And you’ll probably have a handler or contact acting as a go-between, whose feet you should always kiss as though it’s on holy ground glowing with druid efflorescence.
Not everyone is given the chance to become a modern-day alchemist and turn WoW Gold to cash, so always be honest and reply as fast as you can. Deliver on your promises and in time you’ll have enough brownie points to actually slack off from time to time without getting the pink slip. Remember always that there are thousands of others waiting in the wings, hoping for you to screw up, so they too can play WoW essentially for free.
Next time I talk about the basic safety measures for selling WoW Gold, and you’ll be surprised they’re not far off from what you do when buying WoW Gold. Merry Christmas and enjoy Cataclysm!
