There are games where this trading is allowed. For example, Second life, Entropia Universe, etc.
There have been people who have profited from such activities and have turned it to real business. I would like to quote the example of Ailin Graef aka Anshe Chung. Her business is so successful that her turnover are in tens of thousand dollars(Not really much for a normal business but a lot for just playing a game). Her business decisions always have a major effect on the games 'economy'
As for myself, I am just a currently small time small fry in-game currency exchanger. But in the past four months I started my small business, I made like $200 dollars in profit. No big deal, some might say. I have to agree but as I put in little captial in it and do not spend much time with my this sideline, I can't ask for better return. At least it beats investing in some hyip that are ticking time bombs or the lastest rage, forex, which I never encourage people to do unless they are sure what the hell they are doing (It is still much the domain of banks and big companies. Retail trader are like drops in the ocean)
