4,700,000,000 - 4,900,000,000 gold for 1 million globs of ectoplasm

That sure is a lot of gold, why would one need to know this I wonder.

But ya, just a simple calculation.

It wouldnt make sense to have a trade with more then 7x250 ectos + 100 platinum, since you cannot trade more then that in one session. And the whole idea about ecto's is that you don't have to have multiple trading sessions.
So you can't make trades with ectos with a value higher then 7x250x5p + 100p = 8850 platinum. 8,850,000 gold

Furthermore, 1 million ectos would result in you having 4000 FULL STACKS of 250 ecto's. If you would want to trade this using one account full of ectos, you still wouldnt make it. The maximum number of character slots is 30 and each character can only hold 45 full stacks. This results on a maximum of 1350 full stacks of 250 ecto's on one slot.
In other words, you need almost 3 full accounts with a total of 89 character slots full of ectos to make a trade like that.

Might I ask you why you need this information?
