Hmm you can sell your account, but after what happened to that guy that paid 7000 pounds for that rogue?... I think people would be more cautious.

I wonder if that had changed. I thought I read somewhere that if you gave over the physical cd's, then you could give away your account. Probably some BS someone quoted to get away with selling his account...
If try to sell an account, after the purchase the buyer can change the password, contact the money transfer service (such as PayPal), point them to the EULA (showing it is an unauthorized transaction) and get their money back. The seller is left without money or an account.

Well, y'see, this guy sold his account with a Rogue, with some high quality gear for 7,000 pounds.
The purchaser transferred the rogue to another server, PVPed for about a week, and then got banned. I heard he was planning to sue, but even if that was true, I don't think even could do that.

Jidor answered some of the question, I'll just fill in. Some guy paid 7000 pounds to buy a Nightelf rogue that had Warglaive x 2 (Legendary drops off Illidan) and I believe a few pieces of T6. I think that rogue was rated the best geared rogue at the time. Somehow the news was spread worldwide through the internet (I read it from Curse). Of course, since Blizzard's EULA and ToU forbids any selling of accounts, that account was, easily banned being that the news so was public.
