I just hit the Diablo 3 jackpot

So the other day I finally got my first legendary drop - a really nice amulet called the Murlocket.

Nice locket but didn't really add much in strength. With the high Intell it seemed more of a magic user amulet. I checked out the prices in the Auction House and it seemed they were going for about 500k-2000k in gold - WOWZA.


My Amulet's plus was that I had max on the Intell and Resistance - in fact of all the amulets for sale on the auction house none of them had max Intell/All Resistance. On the negative side - mine didn't have a socket and some of them did.

I had played a bit with the amulet and it was a pretty nice piece. The other thing I noticed was my speed picked up - it added alot of speed to my walk.

But the prices these were being sold was just amazing. I mean I am lucky any given day I have 10k in my bank. I tend to die alot ( ) plus anytime I do have some extra lindens I was training my Crafting skills.

I'm not some hardcore gamer. I play Diablo 3 to hang out with some friends. So although the amulet would have had some major pluses to my character, overall I felt the one downside of gaming was that I was scraping by with cash.

So as a whim I put it on the AH for 1500k with 2000k buyout. I figured if someone really wants it they can have it. Probably in 6 months I'll be able to buy that Amulet at the AH for a tenth of the cost.

Would you believe someone bought it! I cashed out 1,350,000 this morning.
