Trading gold between realms

[Ayreon]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this..

I have over 100.000 gold in one realm A, and a bunch of friends are going to play on realm B when cataclysm is released. As you guys know, there's a 20.000 gold limit to be able to transfer a character from realm A to realm B.
I've been looking for a way to transfer gold from realm A to realm B, Chinese farmer websites don't seem to do this kind of service, even though I offered them a % of my gold on realm A.
Do you guys know what's the best way to do this? I really want to transfer and play with my friends.


Thx, Ayreon.

You could sell the gold. Then rebuy it. You will probably lose some but this is what i can think of right now

Best offer I found was 210$, that's like 50.000 gold
Losing 50% is way too much =(

but thx for ur suggestion anyway..

Heres the way I did it, I bought the 2 seater bike mats and made 5 bikes and then Transfered and sold them. But, YOu could do that with any item, and even make money if the economy is THAT different.

This can be a tricky one. Especially at the end of an expansion. The bike idea is good with minimal or no losses at all. If you can wait some time before switching servers, then you can buy maths from the AH, and resell them back on the new realm. The problem with this is that you need some time to find out which items are selling well. Then you can also try to find someone who wants to play on your current realm and trade some gold with him. Also are your friends transferring aswell or starting new chars? If they are transferring maybe you can pass some gold to them.

Yup, your best bet is to spend the gold on stuff you can resell for the same or more. Epic items are risky but they are an option, bike was a good idea, maybe stacks of titanium?

Still got friends who hasn't xfered? Split the gold.

[davidknag]

make 5 characters, get them to 10, send them 20,000G each.
costs $150 to transfer them all.

problem solved?

must be lvl70 to xfer 20k.

I guess you could attempt to find someone that has 100k gold on server B, and you can give them your gold on server A. Kind of trade off or something.

Or you can Transfer with the 20k gold, sell the 80k to a website and earn the gold the way you got it in the first place.

Buy stuff that you may sell for +/- the same price.... For eg. Chopper, get a friend to do like 7 with no fee, and then you can sell them on the other realm (loosing abit of gold if you want to get the gold faster) if you sell them cheaper than that they can be made, you'll sell faster.
