If you wondered about the persons behind the numerous gold shops you might find our small series of interviews insightful. MMOBUX conducted several
short interviews with a few selected gold sellers and trading platforms.

Michael Sheng, operator of
FAVGames, has been into MUDs since the 90ies. Over
those years he and his partner Quinn got to see a lot - including one gamer who sold his art collection for Dark Age of Camelot plat. Ever wondered
why gold on World of Warcraft US servers is more expensive than on EU servers? Michael explains why.
Believe it or not - there are still traditional family businesses in this market: Kat and Marty run
IRNewb. They are only operating in games they are actually playing themselves. In this brief interview they give you an idea on
how a business like theirs can survive in such a competitive market.
That online games can mean a lot is shown by the Make-a-Wish foundation contacting Bob from
UOTreasures. He shares this event and other insights - including how gold sellers manage to fight fraudulent buyers.
