The Diablo 3 Auction House, both Real Money and Gold, is set to shut down on March 18, 2014. This news came via a surprise announcement on September 17, 2013.[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/10974978/diablo%C2%AE-iii-auction-house-update-9-17-2013] ==Real Money Auction House== RMAH refers to the "Real Money [[Auction House]], " where items are sold for actual currency. This is as opposed to the [[GAH]] or Gold Auction House, where players pay for gear with gold found in-game.
As currency can be used to purchase gold, which can then be used in the GAH, the line between the two auctions houses is blurred and the prices generally work out equivalently, once you factor in the fees and transfer costs. (The exception is at the very high end, since RMAH item sales are capped at $250. That works out to about 1 billion gold at the minimum gold price of 1m gold for $0.25, while top items sell for up to 2 billion gold in the GAH.)
