    You are better off getting a friend to pass the money for you.

    Using the market board in this fashion could be considered an exploit, as you are messing with the prices on the market board for your own personal reasons.

    Yeah, I think if SE wanted people doing this, they'd let you send mail in-between characters via Mog Mail. I can understand why you might want to have a second character (additional 1-50 quests, inventory management, etc), but transferring via retainers and the market boards probably looks suspicious.

    not really, putting something like 1 animal leather up for 100k is so absurd and out-there as an actual market price, people will just ignore it anyways. plus the transfer would take like 2 minutes, so it'll only be there and gone in the blink of an eye.


    Though, i'm surprised you can't mail it to an alt character.
    Like someone said, use a friend to help you transfer (someone irl).
    Do not use the market board, every time you do, you're losing 5% of your assets with every transfer (+5% more if from a different city).

    Not really. He's not doing it to mess with the AH history, and I would assume he's only selling 1 leather at that price; hardly enough to make the history look any different. The worst SE would probably do was an investigation, during which they might or might not ask him to stop. It's hardly bannable, not an exploit.

    The real issue here is simply moving items from one character from another. Surely SE doesn't want to prohibit that, I would guess they just didn't think of a way to implement it yet. TBH the OP is just more clever than the other 5000000 people who are just complaining that they can't.
