oh yea, what are the t$'s, also what do W$ and T$ even stand for. I'm lost in this forum without knowing what those mean.

$T are tournament dollars and can be used for any tournament or sit n go on Poker Stars. You get them by winning entries into the Sunday tourneys ($215 and $530) and then unregistering from them.

$W are a more restrictive version of tournament dollars that can be used for WPT tournaments, WSOP tournaments, EPT tournaments, WCOOP tournaments. You get these by winning entries into tournaments of this type and unregistering from them.

When you enter a WPT qualifier (say the $175 double shootout for Atlantis), it first takes $W out of your account to pay for it. If you don't have enough, it takes $T out, and if you still don't have enough it takes cash out. When you enter a normal tournament or sit n go, it takes $T out, unless you don't have enough, in which case it takes cash out.

There are sites where you can sell $W and $T. I would imagine $T can be sold for close to full value, since many people spend hundreds of dollars a week in cash to play Stars tourneys, and I think if you shop around you could get around 90% for $W.
