mmoBay!
Can you imagine the day of an eBay addict? He(or she) wakes up, goes to the computer, bid for a few items, then gets out to check the mailbox. After grabbing what's in there, comes back, pays for some items, grabs a snack, and goes to the Post Office to pick up some items. When our eBayer gets home, all there is to do is bid, curse those that won some items you were targeting, pay some of those you won, write some reviews, maybe also resell some stuff... but what about those who buy WoW accounts? Well...there's a nice place for them, too!!
As far as I can tell, there aren't cohorts of game accounts and various in-game items available on eBay, and looking for such things there can prove to be a waste of time, as long as there's a place allowing you to simply go to sell WoW account, or get additionale game goodies for Tabula Tasa, Guild Wars, Final Fantasy Online, Lineage I & II, and even Warhammer Online!
If you pay mmoBay a visit, I am sure you'll agree with me that this site is well organized, very easy to navigate, and - best of all - prices are pretty decent, if you ask me. The downside is that, at least for now, most items available are WoW game accounts, with 397 items available for WoW US, and 47 for WoW EU servers.
I know you may be wondering about those prices, so here you go - EU WoW Account (Lv 70 Warrior, Lv 64 Arc/Frost Mage and a perfect Lv 19 Twink Priest), almost 8 days left until end time, start bid is EUR 325.00, or "Sunwell Mage 2400dps on Brutallus - Best Account Available - Lvl 70 Full 8/8 T6 Mage, plus 70 Warrior and 70 Priest, full epics, all with Epic Flying Mounts," for an impressive start bid of $1,000!
If you don't like it, don't buy it, but if you do, go ahead and tell the others! Since there's eBay, and it goes so well, why not mmoBay? After all, seeing such prices may seem frightening to some, but think about the huge amount of time you need to spend to push a character up to level 70, and you'll look at this matter with different eyes, believe me!

Mmmm. I get that people want to move ahead and might feel behind their friends, but most games are not that hard to level in and get gold/silver/magic pebbles. Sometimes it's easy to get so focused on making a particular goal, like saving for a mount, that you forget that once you reach it, it's a bit anti-climactic. It depends on the situation of course, but I can only imagine how much worse it would be to just buy it and have it handed to you.

You're absolutely right. It's like driving a Porsche GT as soon as you get a driving license...
