WotLK Selling characters

[Goldstreak]

Hi all.

I've a few excess characters that I'm trying to sell but it seems Warmane automatically fills in the amount of coins, which seems to be kind of astronomical in comparison to others i see for sale. Is this the reason people sell characters 'naked'?

Because it reduces the price. Nobody wants to pay 10 coins for some ToC 25 N items etc. They rather pay for BiS items on the character instead.
ICC, ToC and Ulduar BoE items and recipes don't add to coin cost.
Equip BiS or BoE while selling character, rest are 99% considered trash.
