My name is Al, and I have bought gold.
I got it from a guy in our guild who played the AH like a madman. He could write a Gold Making Book. If he knew how to read and write. ;) But he lived right next to the GL and we talked on Vent and stuff. It was more of a gift to him, but I did take gold, which was almost worthless to him as he had banks full of everything.
Turned out he was trading gold for game cards and RL Cash among other things, it all turned on him when he got too bossy with his twink guild and we all left and kicked him from everything.
Now I have said it and I totally agree with the point that the OP got what he deserved and can't wrap it all around his pointed head
