People here obviously haven't read the rules. As soon as some GM gets on and starts going "RAWR YOU BE USIN' SOMEONE ELSE'S ACCOUNT!" reply with a simple "Yeah, I bought it."

Perfectly legitimate. Buying and selling accounts is legal if all of the contents of the box are transferred to the new owner. Obviously, a new account cannot be made with the CD key so the account also becomes property of the new owner. It doesn't matter whose name the account is in, so long as you can prove you are in possession of the retail box and you pay your fees, there is nothing they can do.
The following is quoted from http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html

Ownership/Selling of the Account or Virtual Items.

Blizzard does not recognize the transfer of WoW Accounts or Blizzard Accounts (each an "Account"). You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void. Blizzard owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to all of the content that appears in the Game. You agree that you have no right or title in or to any such content, including without limitation the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in the Game, or any other attributes associated with the Account or stored on the Service. Blizzard does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property executed outside of the Game, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell in-game items or currency for "real" money, or exchange those items or currency for value outside of the Game.
You sir,
