Probably like 500 bucks, and my friends char. who has 100 leathercraft probably around 1,000 bucks.
I wouldn't sell either account because I doubt I'll get that amount of money for it. But if someone DID offer to buy, I wouldn't hesitate to sell, mainly being I'd rather quit the game coming out with some money in my pocket than quitting with just a bunch of time wasted (although I like all the friends I have made).

I know this is something I'd sworn against for years, but you guys are making me kind of actually want to do this.
Not that my character is phenomenal or anything...Still, any amount of money is better than nothing, right?

Taking account into how much I make, and how much time I placed into my char, I wouldn't sell it for anything less than $50,000. That answering the OP's question about how little I would take to sell it this instant. Even if someone offered $49,999, I would say no, I don't care if I haven't touched it for over 6 months.

If I KNEW I was going to lose it regardless, eg. SE deleting all characters, I would sell it for any amount. =P

Would you even make that much money though anymore seeming the fact that XIV is coming out within the next year or two.

Not that its plausible, but I still can't understand why you'd not sell for $49,999 ~

I do not think I would sell it, seems wrong.... But I'll trade my account for an ex + set of Power 9. Fair trade I think.

Not everyone is going to jump on the FFXIV train... It's a whole new game, not just a new FFXI with XIV, while that appeals to a lot of people, I'm sure that fact will also make a lot hesitant to get it, or deter them all together.

Not that its plausible, but I still can't understand why you'd not sell for $49,999 ~ Because a penny is a shitload of money man! Get 24 more and you got yourself a gumball! (well I assume he'd carry it on to .99 anyways given the point he was making.)

It's like selling anything that's negotiable - have to have a cut off at some point from the seller's view.
Plus I don't like the number 49 for personal reasons XD.

I myself am one that probably won't be jumping on the XIV train I've seen nothing appealing about it PERSONALLY. I'm not saying people are but I do know a lot of people that are leaving or have already left XI.

I've thought about selling my character before, but every time I think about it I just can't bring myself to it.
Someone on page 1 said they'd sell for $1,000 with two 75s and no expansions close to being done or any of that stuff... makes me wonder how much mine could be sold for. Hmm.

I'd probably sell mine for a couple hundred dollars if I fell into that. Right now I'm tempted to since I can't find work and want money badly.
However then there's the fact FF14 could crap out for me. And if that's the case I'd have nothing to fall back on.

It's mostly about the gil, the more gil you can get out of a character, the more it's worth ~

Same for me. I don't plan to go to XIV. The gameplay itself doesn't look appealing to me. The only reason I would be tempted is because the characters look really good (in my opinion) but truly, having a prettier mithra but not as much fun playing is just not my cup of tea. I'll be staying on FFXI.

I've quoted my character just out of curiosity, before DNC was even unlocked and BST and RDM still weren't 75 (close to it, but not there), Before Sea and Before Cooking/Woodworking. I was quoted at like 120 bucks or so. I may do it again now that I have so much more done just for shits and giggles.

With a name like Zorander I'd say the range would be between a dime or a cookie :)

Your gear is worth up to 80% of your quote, according to this site. Adaman Hauberk alone is not enough to base that on.

I think it would be more than that... single 75 w/ decent missions sell for $300ish.
Also depends on race/gender etc. Like adopting a baby. Blonde females always sell for more.
Taru BLMs and Male humes generally sell for higher amounts.

Worth 4k, but I think the most someone would pay is around 800-1k.

If I wasn't leaving work I'd go get some quotes
Maybe I will later tonight
Awhile ago I got a PM here on ffxiah where someone wanted to buy my char.
He didnt seem like an RMT or anything, none of the "go to www.RMTwebsite.com and sell your char" or anything.
So just out of curiousity I asked him how much he was willing to pay. The respond was that he was willing to start working from 350$.
Now I would never think about selling my char, except for maybe if I decided to quit ffxi forever. Or if someone paid me a ridiculous amount of money. I'm sure as hell not gonna sell it for 350$.
Some fast math:
I've been playing for about 5 years (give or take, but lets say 5 years). That alone is over 800$ in monthly fees. And I have close to 400 days of play time, with little to no afk/bazaar time.
So over a 5 year period I have paid 800$ cash and put a year of work in to my char.
At my current job I'm making around 20$ per hour. If we assume I'm working 8 hours per day, that would be
400(days)x8(hours) = 3200 hours
3200x20$ = 64000$
Now, if someone told me they'd pay me 64000$ for my char, I would sell without hesitate. I would sell for 10000$ as well.
tl;dr version.
What is the lowest amount of money you would accept for your char?
