Selling accounts it's pretty useless, they accounts here aren't valued enough. An Hero Account can make you 1 BTC from a signature campaign (if you are on one of the few that don't pay next to peanuts) in maybe 2 months if you do a decent enough constructive posts and without necessarly spending much time on it. Hero Accounts should be sold by way more than what they are valued now. I think in the future once Bitcoin is mainstream Hero Accounts will be more valued as the price goes up too. Let alone Legendary. Legendary accounts are so undervalued that signature campaign hosts pay them the same as Hero's.

So overall, yes it's allowed, and it's not worth it.
To not get scammed simply don't do anything stupid, use common sense.
Exactly, most accounts that are being sold are being used for signature campaigns. If you own 5-10 Senior accounts you can make around 1 btc per week if you join a decent paying campaign. So there will always be a market for account selling.

having that many accounts is very hard to maintain and post with quality but YES it is possible to earn that much if you own a lot of high rank forum accounts here.

I really can't see how this should be allowed.  How can you trust any account when it could have been purchased to use in a scam?
there are other reasons why someone will buy a forum account, one of the most popular reason is to be used in sig campaigns. next is to avoid the 360 seconds delay in posting while still a newbie. buying a higher account to be used to scam people here I think is not that popular since it requires buyer/scammer to shell out coins

If you are Junior Member, you can buy Hero member account, for example. For some reasons, you can have some advantages in this - use signature for advertising etc.  Wink

It's hard to be caught if the person knows what he's doing. The other way around this is to just let everyone know that there is a high chance that there might be users controlling multiple accounts lurking here, and let the users act accordingly.

I understand that selling accounts is hard to stop of really prove.   But I don't think it should be allowed.  If that person is caught his IP should be banned.  I just don't see how people who buy could possibly use the accounts for anything good besides the sig campaigns.  Otherwise it shouldn't be allowed.   But that is just my 2 cents.  I know it almost impossible to stop but it just shouldn't happen.

Well it cannot be stopped, so I guess this is why it's allowed. I do agree that is unethical and can be used in many scams, etc. That's why people need to be extremely cautios, even if you see a positive trust rating when dealing with some member, this means nothing if he can't sign a message with the address that was connected to his bitcointalk profile since long time ago.

Every serious user account thinks about that and has this option ready. It's even that, or he has staked his account in the stake account thread.

I have done both for example.

NO, majoriy of the account trading is just to make some ROI's on SIG"s
and yes if the user is newbie and dosent reads all the STICKY's he can be scammed ..very rare though.

because it can not be blocked, so everyone let it go, but if a scammer who bought one of those is caught, he simply get a neg trust, which will destroy the account essentially

if he is intelligent enough he should use it for sig campaign and then sell it again with a better rank, or do some legit trading and selling to increase trust and sell it again
