I put everything onto Bnet monnies. I don't care about making money off a game, so I rather have tons of credits without loosing fees and start buying l33t items

This is real life.
Why do you think everyone is dumping all their shit for cash. Bailout.gif
This could become greater than the 9/11 conspiracies.
I've got 230+ hours played, split pretty eveny across all characters, leveled them all to 60 without any ZK exploits and shit. It's been a blast and I still love the game, gonna keep playing for a long time.
Except now I feel like a fucking idiot, when RMAH starts in EU if the prices are remotely as high as the US if I put all the 230 hours in one char and hoarded some nice things I'd be on my way to buy a new PC sometime this week... I really didn't expect people to pay >$50 for anything that wasn't a near perfect roll, jumping on the skeptic bandwagon of "yeah, you think you're the only one whose great plan is to make big bucks on RMAH?"
Oh well, time will tell if the insane prices will hold.

You think they care about eroding trust when they can make so much money doing this "legit"?
Absolutely nothing.
I am actually really surprised Blizzard put a max price cap of $250. I can bet you they can make an account and "develop" a perfect roll top end item and put it on the RMAH for $500.
The prices will definitely begin to normalize. Only real question is how long this gold rush of sorts will hold out.

Why do that? A couple expensive rares here in there is a drop in the bucket compared to all the transactions fee's they're pulling in.

I'm surprised you can even kill a goblin with that dps.
I used energy armor/force armor, diamond skin/crystal shell, familiar/sparkflint, blizzard/frozen solid, left MB shock pulse/piercing orb, right MB disintegrate/volatility or Hydra venom. Passives: evocation, astral presence and cold blooded.
That build took me through hell fairly easy.

The final step is to just separate out the AH into a browser-based or mobile app so that we can forgo playing the actual game once and for all. Final Solution to the Diablo III question.
Tell me about it, I sometimes fail at killing goblins with 20k+ dps (that is with defensive gear and boring hydra/blizz build, but still), when they start with running away, it is basically a lost goblin. And it is so rare to encounter one as I am not farming them.
I love the tinfoil-theories regarding this. The most beautiful part of RMAH for Blizzard is that they get the money with every transaction they have. If they wanted an Item Store, and not an Auction House, they would have done that. They did not.
This way, the players benefit, therefore the players come and they stay active.
You still owe me a +34% MF item.

I made 10 blizzard bux!
Man my luck is terrible. I have 140 hours played and that is the best gear I have lol

basically this. they charge 15% on every transaction, they are better off encouraging a stronger market by working to build confidence in it than they can by trying to exploit it for "quick bucks"

For someone not partaking in the RMAH madness, how much gold can I get for these items (or can I get anything at all)?

There is so much room for arbitrage right now it's hilarious.
If the gold AH was up it would be even worse.
You can buy a 30% Stormshield for $100 on the RMAH
You can sell a 30% Stormshield on the gold AH for 20 million gold.
You can sell gold for $9 / million on trade forums.
Boom, you just made $80 for doing nothing.

sad but true.
I was another one who was laughing at everyone who thought about selling anything but a perfect roll over 5$
joke is on me I guess
There's someone out there stupid enough to still be paying that for gold? Hard to believe.

Prices were plummeting yesterday but are going back up across the board now that you can't buy gold on the RMAH yet
Yea I've done that, still get the same error message even though the file has been deleted.
