but mod can still pick these accounts very easily as they have one few days back
Maybe the mod should start selling high activity accounts for BTC. They can use it for something useful...

It think such advertisements only attract people who are going to scam people here. Who else wants to buy and old account with a few posts? If it had many posts, the owner could earn some $ with it by advertising third parties in their signature. But that's not the case now.
Unfortunately the account's owners where so smart to not tell their accountnames. Bitcointalk should otherwise ban their accounts in my opinion.
Incorrect. The person who buys them and uses them for the wrong reasons should be banned. Unfortunately the account's owners where so smart to not tell their accountnames. Bitcointalk should otherwise ban their accounts in my opinion.
Doing that you are fighting against symptoms of the problem instead of causes. By banning the buyers, the sellers still have made their profit and that would make this business attractive. But, I think it's easier to ban the buyers indeed, as the moderators probably can see an huge change in IP address.

Hm... I would love to buy some accounts if its free... cause of the 360 sec per post
Just wait 2 weeks your account will become a member status you only need to wait 75 seconds I guess.

When you can register and be a jr. member in a few days.
I can't believe how high the price is for just one account, that's silly.
Yeah, it is allowed.
People are selling it on this forum itself.
You can never stop people from using a proxy, but atleast they don't have the account they wanted to sell. You can't just allow it if people are using it for scams right?
People can always register new ones and use those. The only reason to buy this is for a scam. 
Yeah pretty much. I think theymos should prevent this from happening. For example an account (+IP) ban for the seller and the buyer.
I'd use a proxy or VPN.
The only reason to buy this is for a scam.
But the activity for the account is low so its not hard to spot scammer right?
Well yes, but if it was high they could be used for scamming.it could also be used for sig ads.. but yeah, that kind of stuff compromises the community here. and it seems like bitcointalks can't do anything, short of buying the account and disabling it.

People always find bad ways in good things.
it's insane thinking about all the things that can be monetized. i signed up last week and i was wondering if anyone was selling their accounts, especially since you can make money by posting ads in your signature.
i'd rather let my account go inactive than sell it for $20 anyways.

Exactly. People want to buy accounts with trust, instead of earning it themselves.
The amount of newbies I seen basing reputation on post count, trust & date registered is unbelievable. I bet most users with early registration dates have been bought.
I'm with Lethn, I'd never sell my account out cheaply. I suspect most "veterans" feel similarly.
Still weird though.

I can see how this ruins the community in multiple ways.
This is just creating more possible scams.

This sucks. They are even junior member accounts, why would anyone want those from '11.

What's wrong with selling accounts, I have seen people selling world of warcraft account for like few thousands...
Selling these accounts are different. It encourages scammers. The people who normally want to purchase these accounts want them for their date/trust because they think people will trust them more.

I can't believe he's actually trying to sell for $25. Aren't they worth $0 because you can just register and work yourself up.
but they are trying to convey peoples that these old accounts has some worth but its not true
Sadly some people fall for it. He's already sold some at this forum over at the digital goods section.

They are also selling 0.001 BTC for $2.50. That's a 500% mark up!
I bet he'll make 0 sales on eBay. People can't be that dumb.

yes you are right but dumb peoples never give up they are almost doing this again and again because they are dumb
I don't see why anyone would buy this but whatever.
some scammers trying to abuse system I sure these accounts has no worth anymore
lol $25? What a con, plus if you were an old member it would definitely be worth a lot more, yes, I won't let mine go for less than 1000BTC 
and you'd have to do the transfer with a neutral escrow 
.
and you'd have to do the transfer with a neutral escrow . But...you can make them, for free even.
Haha, exactly. I've never understood why people would pay for a bitcointalk account. I've seen accounts get sold for .5 BTC :S
I don't see why anyone would buy this but whatever.
Does no one see the potential for abuse here? Are you going to give a newbie with 10 posts a loan? Hell no.Are you going to give a very seasoned member with a good rep a loan if he promises a good interest rate? Probably.
I think people are wising up and are asking for collateral now.
