Is there any money Rift?

If you're serious about selling Rift Platinum i suggest you sell privately, to friends and guildmates etc but be careful i would suggest you trade the plat on a secondary acc

Ehm you subtracted the electricity cost three times. Unfortunately, most gold sellers pay way less, closer to 3 cents per platinum, but maybe I just haven't met the right folks for that yet. I know I have in wow, but those same people either pay between 2 and 3 cents for my server or they are "overstocked" or they don't buy any at all because 'moar goldz' doesn't seem to be where it's at in rift (not just yet anyway), not as much as is the case for wow where you can basically buy anything from boe/bop (raid spots) gear over real actual love to mounts and even a whole guild including 100s of soldiers serving at your command for moar goldz.

Plus, the electricity cost where I live is closer to €.3 than €.11. Pretty rough and among the reasons why I gave up farming bitcoins, just not worth it anymore.

I subtracted electric costs 3 times because I assumed each account would have its own computer. I also added them back in at the end there in the case that they were run in VMware or similar "(+$70 if you run them all on one machine instead of 3 due to electric costs). "

Also the $6/plat was just an estimate as I didn't look up any prices, was just guessing. At 3 cents per plat this would cut my estimated profits in half. Add in that most people pay more for electric than I do (apparently almost double) and you're looking at this not even being worth the time to set up.

At 3 cents per plat and $.30 per kWh you'd profit $4.56 per month by running one bot 24/7.
If you can only find a seller paying 2 cents per plat, you will actually LOSE over $25 per month!

In other words, not only is it not worth it, it can actually cost you more than you'd make.

As you mentioned, this is also why bitmining is no longer a good idea. However, people are paying out the ass for ATI 5850s and 5870s on eBay for that sole purpose. I just sold my 5870 and picked up two 6870s in crossfire, getting a big upgrade and making about $50 after rebates in the process!
