Gamespot has a story about secondary markets, focusing on WoW and SOE. Sukow discovered that the top seller of WOW gold made more than $23,000 in April, just on WOW gold. And that wasn’t even a good month—in January and February the number-one seller took home more than $44,000 each month The article estimates that WoW secondary market at $2M/month and quotes SOE as saying that the overall market is $200M/year.
