Legal Question in Technology Law in South Carolina
Account Selling
When it comes to Video Game accounts on Massive Multiplayer Online Role playing games, is it legal to:
Sell gaming accounts to customers
AND if a customer had sold me an account, I was to resell it -- What would the repercussion be if the former customer tried to retake the account after payment had been transfered to him.

Re: Account Selling
The answer depends upon the terms and conditions of the particular game -- some permit sales of game assets, items, characters, and/or accounts, and some prohibit such transactions. If you entered into a prohibited transaction, then you may wind up with nothing, and the seller could lose the account too if the game administrator has that remedy under the rules....
