Why, the scam works! And if the guy you are scamming tells you: "How can i be sure you will not just take the gold and give a fake code?" you will say "I guarantee it is true with my life and i cant trust an outsider too so im going to take some random gray item and send the code on mail along with the item so that it gets to you later, like this you can give me the gold and i can give you the code without anyone getting scammed". And if he trusts you, then it will work. NOTE: I havent logged in Blizzard since 2.4.2 so if there are any changes im sorry
