The buying / selling process is fairly complex and I have training material prepared from start to finish provided in mind that the person has zero previous knowledge of the topic. -- included in the 2 day training

For the nature of the business I'd think a longer support is crucial though as many new obstacles and situations arise that cannot be predetermined. -- hopefully this will not come back in the long run to burn me for offering such long support.

I've moved on to other projects and haven't had time to deal with AdWords and was short staffed so I halted SEO -- on average with minimal input time it generates about $3-4k a month.

If you do a simple google search "Buy WoW Account" all sites on the right hand side - sponsored ads are earning bare min. $10,000 / month net.

No matter how good an account is -- Level 85 accounts we purchase between $60 - 250. $60 account usually sells for $199.99 and a $250 account would sell for $500-600 -- this is the general case with all websites.

With SEO having us on the first page of "Sell WoW Account" keywords at rank 4 from the top -- we were receiving roughly 50-100 "Sell Account Requests" -- at the time we were only picking the best deals.

Monitor a site like "www.vbarrack.com" -- a full company which employs more quite a few employees. There turnover is roughly 40-50 accounts a day with an inventory of a quarter million - half a million dollars in just World of Warcraft accounts alone.
