I've come up with the concept of a script to automatically convert RSGP -> USD via Paypal/PlayerAuctions. The script will check PlayerAuctions every X seconds for any orders and automatically login, trade the gold, and mark the order as delivered on PlayerAuctions. This would allow 24/7 delivery that could possibly complete orders in under 60 seconds. This script would allow people to sell ungodly quantities of RSGP with minimal effort, effectively converting RSGP -> USD.

Obviously this script would need to collect some form(s) of evidence, whether it be a crude video (1 to 5 FPS .png) or at a bare minimum screenshots of key events. (chat text requesting the trade, first trade screen with gold added, or confirm screen)

Coding this script would be relatively painless and it seems like it would be very useful/profitable. On a scale of 1 (best) to 10 (worst): Difficulty: 4, Length: 7, Effort: 3, Utility: 2, Profitability: 1, Stability: 2. The only downside is it would flood the market with sell offers and 24/7 sellers which would directly crash the price. If I did go through with this, I am not sure whether or not to charge a fee (one-time, hourly, % commission, etc.) for its use or simply present users with the option of donating. (I would imagine people to be more inclined to donate relative to script without profit. If the script turns out to not be free you won't find it here.)

Please take the time to indicate your interest (or lack of) in the above poll. Any questions/comments/concerns are welcome and will be responded to quickly.

Trust is a big thing first off.
And the main reason for me, I wouldn't sell the GP. :)

I don't support this for several reasons (at least not publicly). If you wanted to charge money for people to use it, you would not be able to post it here at villavu. There are huge trust issues involved in setting something like this up, including from your own end and preventing any tiniest of bugs from abusing you and stealing from you.

Although honestly, I seriously doubt a script like this would affect the market much, if at all, even if it worked. Even if this is perfect, the act of gold-farming doesn't really change, it just simplifies the complexity and availability of the farmers themselves and makes them more available to buyers. It's a customer service type of improvement, and not really a gold-crashing activity.

I don't sell gold so I wouldn't use, but good luck!

Not to be that guy, but when i saw ashaman posted on here i figured he already said it, But sin said it fairly well here…

Please do not post threads other than completed scripts here.

Requests or R&D (we have an R&D right?) may be a more viable option (also, i had to scroll all the way to the bottom past 30 different sub forums to click the 1 of 3 threads here)

Continuing on to the point…
Meh. It seems like a cool idea @YoHoJo wanted something like this but for his memberize.me website for pins.
Somepeople though may have a hard time using it as they may not fully trust it.
