Price-comparison shopping in MMORPG
Slashdot reports that as MMORPGs such as WoW and Everquest have grown in popularity, so too has the demand for highly unique and elite in-game equipment. People sell their game commodities for real cash on Ebay and an assortment of other sites. Some researchers speculate that the secondary market of these in-game commodities could exceed the primary market (actual game sales and subscriptions), thus making MMORPGs profitable to avid gamers who are willing to part with a few treasures. And now there is Eye On Mogs, the first search-engine for the price-comparison for the MMORPG secondary market. This is sure to be a useful tool for anyone wanted to get the best price or sale for their online goodies.

I would like to mention buygamecurrency.com as another price comparison engine for virtual currencies. They provide some nice looking charts of the prices over certain periods of time.
