The risk of course is that forum rules might change if too many newbies start buying Hero accts and spamming
Hard to model that possibility

Highly unlikely. Spammers will be dealt with as always, and there is a strong deterrent keeping buyer from spamming with Hero accounts -- price. The mods have been pretty clear that account trading won't be banned because there is no way to stop it.

There are risks to the buyer, the account may be a hacked one, or the seller scams you and say you hacked their account, and gets it back. Also it is not hard breed an account, just post once a day on off-topic - 1 or two minutes of you daily time. This is not worth more than 1 btc, even for heroes members

7-10 BTC since you can make up that much in a few months, and rep is priceless Wink

Uhh, Grandpa, you're drunk again. I've seen Hero Members sold for .5BTC.

Yeah, he maybe overstepped a bit, but what price would you tag you head at ?

possible scenario: you sell your account with your unique nickname that u use all over net, sell it for 1 btc..
next thing you have all your other accounts spammed with threats for your head, coz the person you sold it to scammed people for 20 btc..
now try to proove it wasnt you..
i wouldnt sell mine below 10 btc at current price, no way, its just not worth it Grin

Exactly!
0.5BTC for a Hero account is dirt cheap - you can easily get your money back in 1 month and then it's pure profit. I think Senior and Hero accounts are worth much more than that.
And if you get bored with it you can always sell it and get your money back!

where would one even sell account ?!
didnt see it anywhere here on forum, or i wasnt looking in the right place..
im wondering how much would my account be worth, but i doubt i would sell it anyways.
imagine someone scams with your username, and later those ppl give you hard time ..

They are bought and sold over on the Digital Goods subforum in the Marketplace.

They go for roughly:

Full Members tend to go for around 0.1-0.2, Snrs for around 0.3-0.6, and Heroes for around 0.7-1btc, but more and more people seem to be selling accounts these days so prices might be a little lower.

It's crazy how much accounts are worth. There's a lot of money to be made on this forum. I think it makes it a bit more exciting and lively.

I believe they are worth more when they have positive trust on them as well, meaning can be used to sell, Im sure this worth to the scammers also. Possibly why I wouldnt want to sell my account to be used for these purposes. I think my account should be worth 2 btc since it has positives already.

Thats right!
If you sell your account it will go into the hands of a scammer who will use your name and your information in the forum. And then when he/she makes something bad, people will not know that is not you. May be there will be bounty for you someday...Thats why you dont have to sell your account.
Thanks!

Selling my account for 32982 btc, serious buyers only.

Really, that's just pathetic to buy accounts for sig campaigns. First of all, rates are not guaranteed for long term, and second, you make much more money for a decent job.

Now buying a high status account for the gained trust, that's another story. I've seen first hand someone using a purchased hero member account to try to scam.

You can break even in one to two weeks easily.

member account 0.03 - 0.05 btc that is equal to 43 to 75 posts to break even @ 0.0007 per post
full member account .13 - .19 btc that is equal to 145 to 220 posts to break even @ 0.0009 per post
senior member .3 - .6 btc that is 230 to 465 posts to break even @ 0.0013 per post

Doesn't really matter about long term when you can get a return on investment within days. And it's not about using it as a job, but getting paid in bitcoins just to post in your spare time exactly like you and I are doing.

You don't understand why people would pay for them? Read through this thread. It's not like you can just create a Member/Full Member etc account instantly. You can get your money back within less than a week on signature campaigns, so that's why people buy them. It can be a great investment.

For mine, I'm not sure I would be willing to sell it. I've received tiny offers before that have been laughable - but really I'm not going to sell an ancient account with a name I've only managed to be fast enough to get once (that's here) except for possibly bonkers offers. But realistically I'd say it would simply be a function of how many accounts those account sellers manage to make each day and post on.

I paid 10 BTC for the Donator tag on my account. I will sell my account at a 10% discount for 9 BTC if BTC hits $10K.

In my opinion forum account buyin and selling should be banned and everybody who is trying to do that should be banned forever. Buying and selling accounts leads to sure scam. Scammer are the ones who are willing to buy your trusted account. for 200-300$ it is not worth the money.
I will never sell my account!
BR

Me neither,our accounts are priceless.It takes along time to build an account.

Maybe not for 200$ but what about for 2k $?
