The most financially successful toys/games are the ones best engineered to make people want to buy and even more so collect them.

beanie babies! They had their own house made value book for each little thing.

That's Dirty Fett. A combo of the two most badass people ever. Boba Fett, and Clint Eastwood.


(I do love Star Wars though...got my first BJ to A New Hope.)

OVERNIGHT!!

I collect these old toys that a replace parts in, repaint, and spend hours meticulously Cleaning and improving for hours every weekend. I've ordered parts for them that cost more than I paid for the toy itself. Also the value doesn't increase by how much I spend on them, so in the end its really a waste. But its fun and I enjoy myself, and thats really all that matters when I work on my E-30... i mean toy.








In other news:

I've sold 2 World of Warcraft accounts now. One about 2 years ago, for $700. Had 3 80's (at the time max lvl) and a ton of gold. Played about an hour a day before I went to sleep, not everyday.

The other i sold a few weeks ago, for $500. Had 4 85s (max lvl now). Played a bit more per day, maybe hour and a half cuz raiding was fun again.

I'll probably start a new account after new years and sell it again when I get bored.

I'm far from a nerd. I'm just a gamer.

I also built up a few good Magic the Gathering (card game) decks a few years ago. Sold for almost 800$.

Selling MMO accounts and currency is apparently pretty lucrative for people in Korea/Thailand/southeast Asia.


I played FFXI years ago and the RMTs (Real money Traders) were ridiculous in that game.

One guy running like 4+ accounts camping NMs, and Power leveling...fucking RMTs ruined the game.

I used to play wow. Not worth the time and money, it's too addictive. I still love Pokemon and have all the cards. I actually wanted to buy a ds to get the new pokemon games to play. Still a kid at heart :)

What did you make per account?

Depends on the playlist and win loss ratio.

Paypal or XBL membership time cards or Microsoft points(MP)

Doubles: 3 month or 20 bucks(takes me 2 hours to make one)

Slayer 3 month 20 bucks same for time

Swat 45 dollars

Snipers 50 dollars or a one year

MLG: 80 dollars or a 1 year and MP

Squad battle: 85 dollars

Lone Wolfs: 100 dollars

Throw back(ranked double exp list): 120 bucks

I also sold a few of my main accounts. One had a 50 in: MLG, LW, Swat, DT, TS and Snipers. I sold that for 500.00 paypal

I also recover people's accounts and gain them a 50 for more money then listed. Reason because they lose a lot and it takes TONS of wins to et them out of the loss hole they dug. Most I have been paid is 90 paypal for ranking 43-50 and winning a game on their 50 for it to reg on the site.

I used to keep track of the # of accounts ranked to 50. I lost count on my booklet at over 400. Some might call me a Halo nerd no life. But it is a really fun game and playing it to rank someone is just like me playing on my main. I enjoy it =)

Also, I have not payed for XBL in 5 years ;)

My main account has a 50 in 8 lists and a 5 star ranking over all(highest 5k exp) With a 4 star in exp in doubles and a few generals in other lists. You get these little side ranks next to your over all ranking. The more games you win the more exp you gain in that list. It just means you are a try hard.

My main account does not really have a worth, I have 3 years invested in wonderful playtime. My friends list has the best of the best in Halo. I would not sell it one bit. The time I really put in playing is the winter. NY sucks and I hate snow, so I play Halo! Summer time I am building houses for my job or racing my e30 on the weekends.

And if anyone comes across this and tries shit for me selling accounts or ranking people up. They are NOT paying for the account, they are paying my my time/skill invested in ranking them up.

What did you make per account?

Here is what I charged for Halo 3:

When I boosted to 50, fresh account was a 1 month from 1-50. Only took 20-23 games. My fastest was 18 games.

If it was played on and had a lot of losses or whatever even if it was just 45-50, I charged a 3 month

And I traded accounts with 1 50 for 3 month of XBL and sold accounts that had multiple 50's for $50-150, depending on the exp on the account and the number of 50's
