the_logos will become famous soon enough
The first formal secondary market site for MUDs (text or graphical) was, I believe, for Gemstone, and began somewhere in the mid 90s. It's still going at:

This is in no way an official Simutronics site, and just like with any other MUD, Simutronics has no way to know whether money is affecting their game or not. They weren't even aware of the site's existing initially.

Think about it this way: It's only an odd concept if you believe that items in a MUD are worthless to people. If that were a case, why would people spend time bashing, roleplaying, PKing, etc to get them? If someone is worth lifting a finger for, it has value.
