Man selling back in the day was a key component of classic EQ. When I was maybe 17 / 18 years old before the Kunark Era, I remember camping Pyzjin for a Glowing Black Stone (someone told me about its value) and lucky enough, caught her in the thick, looted my GBS and got tells from multiple level 50's offering me real high end gear...
Needless to say, when I was told it was worth near a grand or more if I were to sell it on Ebay, I felt like I won the lottery. Think I traded it for like an SMR, GEB's, Rubi BP, Black Sapphire Necklace, Runed Cowl etc (that was to the best of my memory)I got my Wizzy up to 50, turned around and sold that SOB on ebay for 1500-2k, then it was just about leveling up, skipping school and making money from there on out, all while making great friends and loving life. Some people just can't let go of their characters, for me, once I had damn near the best gear and I was getting bored with my toon, it was time to sell / trade and move on. Its all subjective.
Sold my last character right before the PoP Era, not sure if it was still legal then or not, but playerauctions.com worked just fine. Had a Erudite Necro on Tunare all geared the hell out and sold him for a solid grand or so (by that time, prices had gone wayyyyy down)
I know, that was a really fun and cool story....for me
