Person buys CE for $150. Money goes to CCP. CCP happy.

Person sells items from CE for $50. Money goes to person. Person happy.

CCP misses out on another CE sale for $150. CCP angry.

I want to sell it for ISK though.


I would strongly recommend that you do not attempt to sell any items for real money as this would be in breach of the EULA:

6. B. Selling Items and Objects

You may not transfer, sell or auction, or buy or accept any offer to transfer, sell or auction (or offer to do any of the foregoing), any content appearing within the Game environment, …


It's a bizarre world where the voucher to buy an item counts as the item itself. Will I get in trouble for selling a GTC to my friend for cash? Will I get in trouble for selling the entire collectors edition box to a friend? What if I accept money from my friend to cover the cost of the second box in a purchase of two boxes?

I know CCP has to draw the line somewhere, so I'm just curious why the GTC is on one side of the line but the redemption code is on the other.

This decision effectively removes the option of selling the collectors edition or participating in a group buy.

Yeah, the dust stuff is completely wasted. Can we get an Account Management option CCP, so we can turn those dust items into spacedust, then transform the meta'ed space dust into some space ship related loot? Much appreciated. Thanks.

Hang onto them. Apparently they will eventually open up the market to dust players so you'll be able to redeem and sell them for ISK.

does it say a value on the redemption code voucher, or does it state anywhere in the product you bought that the code (which is a physical item) may not be sold.

selling the code can cause a problem, however if you 'shipped' the code to someone for real cash i do not see how this can breach any terms, unless it says on the voucher, as you are not taking real cash to give someone a item in game, as the item does not exist until the code is entered therefore no trade occurs on eve or dust514
