I don't know... 3-4-5-6 years of work on a char, I don't think anyone would sell their char for any 4 digit amount unless they had urgent bills to pay...

Mabrook, since you spent like over 250 mil on it, I would say more than 4k XD.

I'd take 5 dollars right now for my character.
I don't pay just to gear a character so I can sell it. I pay to have fun with the character. I never played with the intention of making money from it, what would be the point?
Either way, anything is better than having a character sitting around wasting space.

4 digits is anywhere from a new classical guitar to a new classical, a custom Carvin 7-string, a new amp, and a decent chunk of change to throw around with friends. *** yeah I'd take 4 digits.
I'd never get that kind of money though.

Quetzalcoatl.Princemercury said: $4,000. depending how much liquid gil you have.
Are you kidding me? lmfao
His Account is worth about $400 maybe $500 if someone was desperate. A 20 level 75's account would go for about 600.

Er, yeah I (was)(mistakenly) kidding. For some reason he mentioned E.body and I automatically thought Armada Hauby which is worth a little over 2k in terms of gil... >_>
I haven't seen many accounts with that many 75 go for $600ish even stripped down to ex gear.

It would have to be somewhere around 1,000 for me even to think about selling..I don't really think that it would for anywhere near 4k. If I ever quit I'd prolly just strip it and give most of my gear/gil away to close friends..or the largest noobs around me(so probably Slayr and Sata ^^!)

I've dealt with buying and selling accounts and the only time you'd ever get 1k for it is if you have at least 1 relic with at least 10 lv75's to match and various rare/ex gear.
The other way is to have gil items like Dusk Gloves +1, Speed Belt, Kraken Club, Cursed Hauberk -1 etc.

I wouldn't sell my char, I just couldn't, I've become pretty attatched to her over the years.

The respond was that he was willing to start working from 350$. Now I would never think about selling my char, except for maybe if I decided to quit ffxi forever. Or if someone paid me a ridiculous amount of money. I'm sure as hell not gonna sell it for 350$. Some fast math: I've been playing for about 5 years (give or take, but lets say 5 years). That alone is over 800$ in monthly fees. And I have close to 400 days of play time, with little to no afk/bazaar time. So over a 5 year period I have paid 800$ cash and put a year of work in to my char. At my current job I'm making around 20$ per hour. If we assume I'm working 8 hours per day, that would be 400(days)x8(hours) = 3200 hours 3200x20$ = 64000$ Now, if someone told me they'd pay me 64000$ for my char, I would sell without hesitate. I would sell for 10000$ as well. tl;dr version. What is the lowest amount of money you would accept for your char?
That is rediculous math. Go to egamingsupply.com and look for yourself. its a free website to buy, sell, and trade game accounts for all major pay to play as well as free to play MMOs. And they arnt' chinesse RMT either. Current market value for a 3 to 6 75 relic weapon account is over 1000 bucks. Current market value for a maats cap but no really awesome gear like salvage *nyzul gears believe it or not don't count as awesome* is about 500 bucks. Mythic weapons being the rarity that they are go for about 750 to 1500 depending on gear. Dual relic owners with a set or two complete salvage go for about 3k. Thats at current market value, anyone interested in selling their account or obtaining a quote PM me. I"ll gladly help and make sure your transaction is completed securely.

If he still had the gil on hand, 5k would be a more appropriate price just for owning 250k on hand or in sellables.

5k for an account with 250 mil? Unless i'm reading that wrong no one would buy it. You would be best selling the Gil and the account separately.

If I had a third testicle I'd be going to the doctor trying to get it removed... Something's wrong there..

Most smart sellers would.
Liquidate the gil to a trusted buyer for 26 to 30 per mil then sell the account seperate. If done this way your total net profit if you do it through my people I know you would get 7500 for the gil
and depending on the jobs and rare/ex and mission completeness (almost no one buys an account that still needs sea or sky, so dont think big if you want to sell and you can't even get to sky or sea)
can be from 150 to 800 dollars stripped.
Accounts stripped of all gil and sellables with a high demand relic (aegis, amano, excalibur, mandau, apoc) make about 1100.
Accounts stripped of all gil and sellables with a lower demand relic (kikoku, relic club, relic hand to hand) get about 700.
So depends heavily on your char, its face, model, jobs, gear, relics if any, staged relics count, mythic are rare as ***so if you ahve a decent one you can make 2k easy. The only thing not subject to so many finer details is gil.
If you guys have extra gil and want to sell descretely to other players and never get caught, go to egamingsupply.com and post a WTS 15 or however many, the server name, and price per mil 27 is a decent price/mil and do payment through paypal or WU and make some side cash. This to me is tolerable because your not selling to some chiness RMT website that will probably get you banned because they send you tells like
"I pick up gil you have now?"

Quetzalcoatl.Princemercury said: I think it would be more than that... single 75 w/ decent missions sell for $300ish.
Also depends on race/gender etc. Like adopting a baby. Blonde females always sell for more.
Taru BLMs and Male humes generally sell for higher amounts.
wat. a single 75 without amazing gear is gonna sell for $50 to 150.
ontopic, it would take me quite a bit of money to part with sev, i'm not really sure how much, but out of proportion to his value
and it would take me $960 to part with my other account, buyer paying middleman
Awhile ago I got a PM here on ffxiah where someone wanted to buy my char.
He didnt seem like an RMT or anything, none of the "go to www.RMTwebsite.com and sell your char" or anything.

tl;dr version.
What is the lowest amount of money you would accept for your char?
