A handful of entrepreneurs are making real money by publicly shaming people who've run afoul of Florida law. Florida.arrests.org, the biggest player, now hosts more than 4 million mugs. The RLI Trade Score indicates the quality of an offer based on going market prices on all analyzed sites by RL Insider. The Score takes into account item pricing, volatility. The money market is a component of the economy which provides short-term funds. The money market deals in short-term loans, generally for a period of a year or less. As short-term securities became a commodity, the money market became a component of the financial market for assets involved in short-term borrowing, lending, buying and selling with original maturities of one year or less. Once you’ve decided what you want to sell, all you have to do is put it in a box, attach the free shipping label that Decluttr sends you, and drop it off at your nearest UPS or USPS location. No haggling, no hassle, and no annoying wait for your payment — as soon as Decluttr gets your stuff you’ll be paid the next day.

'Don't even get me started on you gold farmers,
you gotta make a living, but I need that armor.'

The purchase or sale of online game equipment, currency, or even powerleveling services for real money to a third party without the involvement of, and in the majority of cases against the wishes of, the game's publisher (which is the difference between this and Bribing Your Way to Victory). A common plague of MMORPGs, and the reason why good ways of making money in-game are often nerfed by the publisher after some time. Some game operators may offer a legitimate channel for players to buy and sell virtual items from each other in order to stem some of the more negative elements of restricting such trade to the black market such as spam, fraud and cheating by use of automated bot. A rare but growing few have built their worlds entirely around player-to-player RMT where the company makes money by taking a cut as a transaction fee, or even open content creation to players so aspiring artists and technicians can sell their work on the open market, thus producing a Player-Generated Economy.

Contrast Allegedly Free Game, which is when the game advertises itself as free but requires you to pay money to unlock content, and Microtransactions, the sanctioned equivalent.

Referenced in Welcome to the N.H.K., as one of the protagonist's failed money-making schemes.
In .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet, Hotaru doesn't have any gold, so she considers paying real money in return for medicine for the Team Pet. Shugo quickly talks her out of it. It turned out that the 'gold farmer' she was speaking to was an admin in disguise, who was actually manipulating them into rejecting the offer and instead going to fight the ridiculously high-leveled monster in the field that had the medicine.
One episode of .hack//Roots is dedicated to a side character's efforts to shut down a group of Real Money Traders who are driving up in-game prices on even basic items.
A side character in the GU games has a hacked weapon that was bought via real money trading.
The Cory Doctorow short story 'Anda's Game' is entirely dedicated to the titular character's interaction with a bunch of gold farmers in an imaginary MMORPG.
Also by Cory Doctorow, an attempt to unionize illegal gold farmers forms much of the plot of For the Win.
One character of Walter Jon Williams' This Is Not a Game makes most of his income by gold farming and ganking — while at his official phone support job.
Ctrl+Alt+Del made a comic (and now a poster) describing 'MMO Hell' with major offenders being punished The Divine Comedy-style. Gold farmers and gold buyers are lumped together in the 4th circle; farmers are punished by being submerged in putrid soil and have to dig for gold coins that always slip just a little bit deeper into the muck, while gold buyers are weighed down by countless thousands of gold coins and have to crawl to buy their salvation from a vendor that is always out of reach.
In the Noob multi-media franchise, one character got his former high-level avatar banned as a punishment for buying in-game stuff on a website called farmerchinois.com ('Chinese farmer').
Neal Stephenson's Reamde centers around gold farming and RMT. The dominant MMORPG, T'Rain, got that way by legitimizing the practice, and thereby unseating World of Warcraft.
Real Life example: Julian Dibbell famously spent a year trying to make a living primarily as a Real Money Trader in World of Warcraft; he wrote a blog, and later a book, about the experience.
On Person of Interest recurring character Leon Tao decided to make money by using his experience as a crooked accountant to get into the RMT business. However, the segment of the RMT market he tried to corner was controlled by the Russian mob and they did not take kindly to interlopers. The Russians decide to kill him as a warning to others and only Reese's intervention saves Leon from death.
In The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor this is one of the main plot devices. The main character is trying to pay for his grandmother's hospital bills and his younger sister's college education through RMT. He was inspired after finding his account for an old Korean MMO sold for about $3million (as part of a company's marketing campaign). When loan sharks come to take most of this money, he finds himself with enough to pay all of his family's expenses for about two years, just enough to train in martial arts and study the new hit VRMMORPG Royal Road. (Currently in Korea, RMT is very common, to the point that it was just recently made an official taxable source of income.) The main character plans on becoming a professional in RMT.
In FoxTrot, Jason decides to spend one summer vacation being a gold farmer on World of Warcraft. It turns out not to be as easy as he thought it would be.
In Sword Art Online, Gun Gale Online, the primary setting of the Phantom Bullet arc, heavily features this, with it being possible to buy equipment with real money, as well as sell it. Sinon, a student who has trouble making ends meet, can't use much of her own money, and has to admit that the prospect of selling Hecate (a powerful weapon and of great personal significance to her is tempting). Meanwhile, it's revealed that the villain bought a thermoptic camouflage cloak with the real money trade.
While Command & Conquer: Generals never stated to any degree where the Chinese Hackers actually get money from, the creators of the Game ModRise of the Reds do state that, just like in Real Life, China employs Real Money Tradeen masse to gain money and Hackers do this on the battlefield, among other things that are probably even less legal.
In Ralph Breaks the Internet, Ralph and Vanellope's initial plan to raise $27001 they need to pay for the Sugar Rush steering wheel is to earn money through LootFindr, a site that buys and sells video game items. Someone is willing to pay $40000 for Shank's car from the Fictional Video GameSlaughter Race. Ralph and Vanellope fail to get the car, but Vanellope becomes great friends with Shank and finds a new calling in life, since she had grown bored of Sugar Rush.

Dungeon Fighter Online does this indirectly through the real-money purchase and in-game sale of avatar packages, which contain cosmetics and usually also include exclusive equipment, such as titles and/or pets. The Chinese version of DFO takes this a step further by allowing players to itemize gift cards for in-game currency, allowing them to be traded in-game.
