Exploiting transmog market to sell gold.

[inseedious]

Had this idea a few time ago:
Using a $5 battle.net new account, I buy transmog items at the auction house, at high prices. Obviously, the seller of the item was the wow gold buyer.
For example, I want to sell 20k gold at $25 to my customer. I'm chatting with him on skype. Running my TSM app, I can find great deals in the ah transmog market. While my costumer is charging my PayPal account, I run TSM app and, after a quick scan, it advertises that [Hellslayer Battle Axe] is selling at 200g, (market value=4k gold) and [War Pain Chestpiece] is selling at 150g (market value=2k gold). I can tell my costumer to buy those two items and flip them in the ah again, respectively at 12.800g and 7550g. I will obviously buy them.

So, my costumer receives 20.350g (20k, considering that he spent 350g before), and I think that there isn't any suspect transaction here. Of course, a character constantly buying transmog items at ridiculously high prices can seem to be too retarded to be able to play wow, so the situation can be suspect, but blizz just doesn't have any proof of gold selling.

The only problem is how to transfer gold between my own accounts: if i'm the owner of both accounts, the transfer is safe but my main account is linked to the one I use for gold selling, so I can get both account banned; if I create my gold selling account using a different name, the two accounts are not linked, but the gold transfer itself can be flagged as gold selling, both using f2f or gbank withdrawal methods.

What do you think about my idea? Do you think gbank withdrawal is already a safe enough gold selling method? I don't care about my $5 battle.net account, as I plan to buy one every month, but I'm afraid I will get my main account banned.

I'm having a very hard time understanding what you are trying to say..

Why not just use any regular item and post for high prices? Consistently high transactions at a steady rate would be suspect regardless of the item used. Seems like too much trouble to drag your customer through and entirely void on certain realms where the AH is all but dead.

All gold selling and large transactions are risky. Best bet would be to not include your main account or any account you value at all. But with the amount of gold people have now, 20k most likely wont get you flagged. I'd stick with the Gbank method.

I won't use regular items because it will be obvious that someone is selling gold. However, if gbank method is still efficient, I will use it. But let me ask you a question: whatever the method, how to transfer my gold from my gold farming account to my gold selling one? If the two accounts have different owners, the transfer itself is gold selling, so having double accounts becomes meanless. If I'm the owner of both accounts, I can safely transfer gold, but my main account will likely get involved in a ban too. Finally, is it really useful to do, for example, 5x5k trades instead of a 25k one? I think blizz should have some advanced programs monitoring trades, I don't think that splitting trades will avoid being caught by screening programs.
