the sword costs less than 100k in game gold which would be 40 cents

Ah, I apologise - I thought they were offering a real-world replica.

I'm also fascinated on how they're going to do this: I'll offer good money that says within 5 minutes of logging on they're either town-PK griefed, chat channels are flooded by gold-selling bots or their account is banned for non-RMAH advertising within the game.

You can't kill other players in D3 (yet, there is upcoming PvP patch, although that will be arena-bound, so you still won't be able to kill other players while in PvE mode).
