The old OC archives bless us today. Here is a simple way to turn 40 silver into 30-50g depending on your server. A lot of dungeon diaper levelers will be using old world flasks for that extra boost to HP, Mana, or Spell Power for their leveling experience and due to this Black Lotus still holds decent value. Nothing near what it was but way more than 40 silver.
