Another consideration is that some guilds have rules against selling raid gear. It is not supposed to be sold unless you can replace it. For BiS pieces like White Dragon Helm or AoW pants they are pretty much BiS so they have to consider that risk.
One of the things that EQ did so well was having a form of currency that people can actually use to trade. I know some people have strong feelings about how recharges work, but without those sucking platinum out of the economy then plat would be essentially worthless. For those of us that played Diablo 2, you probably remember that gold was worthless and everyone is having to trade items using other items (SoJ) as a unit of measure which I never liked. Being able to convert items to plat to then use to buy other items is much more convenient.
