If the account has lots of trusted sources, it be used to launch their own website or future btc ventures.
Then theres the other evil route where someone would just buy it for scam purposes for a 1 time big hit. You`ll be suprised though that most people arent selling their accounts to reduce the scamming here on the forum.

Yes, there is a great increase of the value. For a sr.member account (which cost around 0.20) you can sold it at a double price ! But it isn't easy to sell an account, market account has low liquidity.
Yes, but at the end is almost the same, you can earn 0.10 more than a normal account, not more (if you're lucky because it is hard to sell an account, especially if this is a Legendary or Hero Member account).
I just cant imagine selling my account. The hero/legendary someone put a lot of time into. Even if I ever took a break from forum I would keep it.
I wish it told us how many hero and above have been sold. But I know it is not known. Also wish it would tell if more after that hack on forums a while back. I still wonder how many old accounts it brought back to forum through "bad" ways.
I think in perfect world no account would be sold. But we do not live in perfect world.

YES. You can clearly see in the digital goods section that it's now part of the title unlike before when someone Is selling an account title is just WTS Senior account, nowadays WTS Senior account with Green Trust

Considering people have been trading account for ages, it's not a big problem. Any experienced trader knows that escrow is almost always mandatory.
But yes, an account with positive trust is more valuable.

Is the trading and selling of accounts legal on this forum? I see postings for the sale of accounts all over the forums and it makes no sense that this would be allowed. It seemingly undermines the entire system of trust and reputation that has been built in
yes it is, otherwise people would not openly sell accounts here, but outside the forum and secretly
and of course positive trust accounts cost more, because is harder to make one and there are few of them around

Yes, if your account have many positive trust the selling price is higher than no have positive trust account. 
Because if your account have many positive trust selling goods more easy in here.

I don't care if you have a Dozen of Trust but do care If you have a single legitimate Trust from Default List.
You should always try to stop the tradings of accounts that involve green trust as if it goes in wrong hands can lead to some sort of scams.
else there is no point of trust all remedy lies in Escrow , use Escrow for all small to big stuffs and stay safe.
You might not value the account but it does add more value if you check the digital goods section. People will obviously pay a little bit more for trust, sometimes for good or bad reasons. As shorena said above you probably wont be able to scam for much if anything at all so it's probably not worth buying an account to scam but some feedback might make people trust you more for sure.
It has been much Time here for me and i do have seen Accounts with trust being sold at little higher than their counterparts with no Trust but I do have seen People From Default List Rolling Back their Feedback once they got to know that its not the same person whom we sent the Feedback.
positive trust can never hurt in my opinion. however, I prefer bitrated/more sources as trust indicators.
I dont think it matters if the above mentioned uses are preferred .

this is actually a problem, because there are many that are doing exactly this trick to increase value and sell a lower rank account for a better price, and it seems fairly easy doing so with some members, via escrow
basically here the strategy
1 user makes two account, then call an escrower and tell him that he want to escrow with his other account; obviously the escrower does not know anything, then the escrow leave the good feedback to both or to one only, and done, in any case the user is feeding himself with illegitimate trust
many of the people on DT are aware of this issue though, and the escrow services don't often leave feedback for low level accounts. but, it's true that trust farming is a thing, and hopefully it'll be addressed properly in the future. basically here the strategy

Your account value is definitely pushed up then if you will want to sell it as people will think that it will be much more trusted than the ones who are with default trust rating
I think it was yesterday when some one is selling an account with green trust
too bad the seller posted a screenshot of the profile
now its has a neutral trust feedback that its a sold account
too bad the seller posted a screenshot of the profile
now its has a neutral trust feedback that its a sold account
And who are those people who left the member a neutral rating? If they are DT members who themselves participate in account trading, it's just so mean. When the seller is being open about selling his account, why others should have an issue?
Well it makes sense, you can sell an account but you just cannot and you shouldn't sell the trust rating since it is yours, you have earned it, and not the buyer who is buying an account. This actually puts in a disadvantage all the other users that could possibly deal in the future with this buyer of this account with positive rating.
Of course, in the real world buyer and seller don't care about this, they are just trying to earn more money.

does the admins dont have any problem with this account trades ?
its fine with them as far as i know.
regulating account trades will be more of a problem as sellers will find other ways to sell it whenever they get caught
People have been openly trading accounts for a long time. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0
One of the main reasons is to attempt ROI on a signature campaign. People buy accounts, enroll in a signature campaign and post to get their money back.
