mmorpg and me: can you make a living with invisible items?

With the rapid growth of massive multi player online role playing games (mmorpgs) there has been an emerging business venture that has rapidly grown as well and it is taking the mmorpg market by storm. There are many people that are now buying and selling virtual gold pieces from these mmorpgs with real world currency with either the intention to resell them for profit (or loss) or to advance their characters through the ranks of these games. Julian Dibbell has written an entire book titled "Play Money" about the adventures of himself as he attempted to live on the salary of an internet gold and item broker for an entire year. Throughout this well-written book you will find excellent information about how he went through the steps of obtaining a $3000+ income every month with a small initial investment and a large investment of patience. I definitely encourage you all to pick this book up if you're interested in a good read, as well as a great look into how to make money with such a unique and profitable business.
