No its not, however new introductions of massive multiplayer games like runescape means getting real money fast from places like ebay that buy their furni on the cheap. For example, thrones sell for £10-£15 each but trading them in for the sofa things gets you 31. Sell them for 50p-£1 each gets you a lot of profit.
Same applys for games like runescape only atm, people buy 1.5mil for less money so either way you can make a lot of profit from internet games.
Its people that choose to pay for it that are getting ripped off.
