I don't know the reason for this user selling his newbie account which previously looked like it belonged to a project representative on the forum. A while ago there was a signature campaign about them on the forums, but it was only for a week before it was finally put on pause.
[PAUSED] | Project #7777 AKA The L.U.C.K Project Signature CampaignCurrently all of his posts have been deleted, and that leaves only 3 posts which are all about
accounts for sale.I don't think they're a representative or involved at any official degree with the project, their posts on both threads are:

Unfortunately, we have to stop the campaign for now. But we will be back shortly. All the existing members will have priority. You can now remove the signature and avatar.

[...] Just to ask though. How "shortly" will you guys be away for?
Nothing guaranteed. maybe next week or may be next month or maybe next year.

The best we can do is tag and flag so that the account is rendered useless.
Agreed on this, I think the best approach here is to mark the account so that any buyer [a bit curious, who want to buy a newbie account, anyway?] wouldn't be interested to bid.
Edit: oh, it was a copper with one merit, so it's a junior copper instead of newbie
