I used to do this constantly and it worked to perfection *but* like everyone else mentioned, its not safe...I lost a good piece of gear in the process (at that time it could have been considered "priceless" since I didn't know any crafters and couldn't make it myself). But yea, if you're hard up for a way to transfer items its one of your only options. Trading with a friend obviously works but the limit of 4 items per trade will test their patience depending on how much you are trying to transfer ^^
