I want to find the games cheap, because I can get 2months for 20$ against 30$ because I have a friend that works at Best Buy.
But does anyone know of a place I could buy 5x wow and 5x bc for a decent price.
I'm worried that using my friends accounts, they would suspend/ban me.
I have 5 accounts to use, just none of them are mine including my main, but my main is safe because I never claim to be anyone.
What do you think blizzard would check on the accounts? IP or Name?

both ip and name, will see that you are obviously boxing and investigate, if things dont match up its going to be the big bad ban stick for you and possibley any account tied to your ip.
cant really give you any advice where to pick up cheap copies of warcraft. In england they offer a price match offer in most game stores so just find it cheap and then get someplace to match it up. Alternatively check online, cheapest place i could find the battle box was on www.play.com is euro so you will need to find the american equivulant.

There is also information there on how to purchase and activate your accounts (refer a friend) in order to maximize game time per account purchased.

gogamer.com had it for like 20 bucks over christmas
While it appears they raised the price on Buy.com (it's $6+shipping more than it used to be), here's my awesome story of WoW savings:
I bought all my copies of WoW from Buy.com around christmas / new year's time. They were selling it for $13.99, free shipping, and if you used Google Checkout you got another $10 off your first purchase. After CA tax it came out to $5 shipped for each copy.
I did that 4 times - the trick to getting the Google Checkout discount was using a different credit card for each one, and I happened to have some gift card credit cards as christmas gifts. I also did this on a $13.99 copy of Burning Crusade once early on, but the next time I looked I found that they raised the price on it already, so I only ended up buying that 1.
Anyhoo, I got my 4 additional accounts at $5 a piece. In addition to that, I "referred" myself as a friend via the WoW official website, earning myself a free month of WoW for each of those accounts I activated as well. So realistically I actually ended up with 2 months of play time on 4 accounts for $5 a pop.
It was an amazing deal. Like I said, though, they raised their price on the game to $19.99, and shipping isn't free anymore iirc. If you found a great deal on another website, though, and they accepted Google Checkout, I'm sure you could take advantage of the Google discount I did too. As of right now you'd be paying $10 + shipping/tax with the google discount.

It's not super-duper, dirt cheap, but BestBuy has all the WoWs (Game, TBC, TimeCards) on sale right now. Plus, if you buy both WoW and TBC you get a $20 gift card instantly.
I think everything's 10% off, which you can see if you hit up their website and the $20 GC is in their flier, which you can view on the website, but may be in store only.
And if you are are reward zone member, you should have received some coupons in the mail this weekend, which will only be good for another couple hours, but will work for 10% off anything besides the GC deal...I think my timecards ended up just above 24 bucks a pop.
