Anyone done this method of moving gold?

[SupBro]

Player A is the person selling gold.
Player B is the person buying gold.

A trades B an epic item (say valor point gear) and then has B post the item in the auction house for 20k gold. Player A then buys his own item back through the auction house and B receives the money he was buying. I believe a similar method was done using white items and generally worthless items, but perhaps with decent epic items it could appear as more legitimate? Comments?

IMO, that looks quite suspicious. Why are you gonna give an epic to someone, then turn around and buy it on the AH? I mean, it could be two people messing around, but then again, why would you take the AH cut for no reason? I believe if Blizzard looked into it, they would instantly know what was going on.

Possibly if you buy it from a different account this could look okay? But 20k for a pair of boots that has a high chance of being on the AH for around 1 - 2k may look a bit suspicious..

The suspicious part is from you giving him the epic. I agree. But as far as you buying an epic from the AH, that shouldn't look suspicious at all. Perhaps what you could do is invite them to your guild and have them pull out the item from the gbank to sell, and then you buy it afterwards. And ofcourse, taking the AH cut would be quite necessary and acceptable if it meant very little chance of getting banned

It doesn't have to be a cheap epic, you could always do it with like a ilvl 397 crafted item

That might work. But if Blizzard has a question about a transaction, using this will only late their search.
