That is a freakin huge photo. I'll have to figure out how to resize sometime. haha

Shame you don't really buy/sell anymore. Who wouldn't want to sell to a nice guy in that pic. haha

Thanks for doing the first interview.

Hahaha! I saw the huge pic and was like "Jesus, I'm the front page today"...

I enjoy the RMT market, and it's been good to me. I was able to pay off a car, credit cards, buy a huge ring, and put a down payment on a house with what I made. Who knows... maybe I'll get back into it when something new excites me (FFXIV?). I'm much more interested in working for market sites and trying to help other folks enjoy this market as much as I have.

That was an interesting writeup. Amazing to see examples of a single person making a few grand a month in an industry that others would think is too scrutinized and too competitive for anyone to ever find a niche that generates income.

Truth be told, the millions of Chinese studios don't do much research. As Blender points out, one should read more than they type. Same goes for playing or running any business.

If you ever find anything that works well, let me know. I'll give you a commercialized operation that can have 50+ seats on short notice. 2.5k per month or whatever you're making.. multiplied. (i.e. you can return in style and in force if you find something that you like in RMT.)

Brtev, keep the interviews going. I think you've found something that people will really latch on to. e.g. Marcus interviews gamer girls, and 70 yr ole geezers that play WOW. You interview people that did actual RMT. It's WAY more interesting. (Well, at least I think it is. Anyone else second that?)

Thanks for the compliments.

We need to branch out. I can't have all FFXI RMT Interviews. haha
You have any good recommendations for WoW or other MMOs? VF definitely needs to interview you. You're still the only person I know with the "I'm legit" page haha

I think good recommendations would be to hit each of the community leaders out there from the different communities. Then talk at some of the wow youtube celebs?

• Famous middlemen
• Anyone making money in the field
• Gamers that spend too much money
• Kathunx and his gun collection
• Anyone famous that got banned from somewhere
• Markee Dragon and his limo.
• And then of course, visit China and interview some studio owners. Those vids are all the rage these days.

Oh my God! I almost forgot Justice Mckay! You really got to interview him. Ask him what it was like healing people in Haiti and how his forum is the SAFEST place to trade online, and how he 'destroyed' MD. Ooh, that's gonna be the best interview ever because nobody in this industry comes close to such epicness.

Yup, I'm the only one with a legitimacy page. I'm still kinda surprised by that. e.g. the other guys don't show so much as a business license?

For me, stuff like Trustwho just wasn't good enough. I wanted people to trust me so much they'd leave me unattended with their children even if I'm just having one of those days where I wake up looking like a chomo for no apparent reason. Blues clues mixed with crack cocaine addiction, you know the look.
