Hope someone didn't beat me to it.
http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2006...tual-economies/ Now while I agree with taxing someone who sold their account, or sold gold for real money, I dont get how it is even feasibly possible to tax someone for something they will never ever physically own. Then again I might have missread the article, which if that is the case feel free to make me feel like a dumbass. |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Oct 19 2006, 10:58 PM)  shit i think i saw a statistic somewhere that online WoW gold sales topped $6,000,000 last year yeah but you have to report those gains on your taxes. If you make 30,000 off selling WoW gold (or whatever) you have to report it to the IRS. Its almost like double taxation. -------------------- FUCK YOU
