What would be the point in selling/buying accounts other than wanting to have a fake reputation so you can scam?

Well...maybe a unique username?

Aren't all usernames unique Tongue

Maybe a username that is very unique to you? I don't know.

People really do that? What makes accounts worth buying? In other words, what the value of account?

Well purchased accounts can be used multiple ways. We hope that people don't use them to buy credibility in the form of old accounts to scam, but there are more legitimate reasons to buy an account as well. If you don't want to wait through newbie restrictions, you can buy an account from someone. If you want multiple accounts to participate in giveaways, contests, or for signature advertising, you can use multiple accounts to earn more coin.

Of course there is the downside, with those that try and give themselves fake loans to build trust, or to scam people. However, its not too hard to tell when this is happening, and those alts tend to get caught pretty quickly.

Can I sell a unique username?  


You can base on the rules.

And, as soon as theymos allows new accounts again, I'm going to register Unique Username.

People already do. The value depends on what others are willing to pay but you should check other posts out about selling accounts as it is normally used for scamming and you may receive bad rep for selling

So just a general question I am posing. Is it allowed to sell/buy BitcoinTalk accounts on BitcoinTalk?
