It is indeed awkward, that trust can be purchased by such methods. The trust was initially given by a person or persons, because the one given this trust to, had earned it in such. Handing over such accounts to other persons, is like saying it's okay for a Charles Ponzi to be eligible to take on the mantle of the Pope and hence forth to be believed and/or trusted as such.
It should not be allowed to trade accounts with positive trust, or at least the trust should be nullified before trading such accounts is allowed.

I wouldn't trust a legendary I don't know.
I wouldn't trust someone with 100000 green trust I don't know.
so a dark green legendary should be worth around 0.05 or so to me.

If I'm understanding the "trust system" correctly, it would only take a DT1 member to add an account to it's trust list and give it a positive rating of some kind correct for that account to be considered dark green and DT2? If that's the case I'm sure it's possible for any DT1 member to have multiple DT2 accounts, but I think the majority of the time these account sale threads started by newbies are just conversation starters for sig spammers. I myself have inquired on a couple different threads and never even received a response back from the OP, or the OP will post or pm something like "the account was sold by way of pm" after bids or inquiries have been placed with no proof of the sale. So it's hard to tell in the end. I consider almost any thread started by a "newbie" to be a bogus thread really, until it's proven legitimate otherwise ...lol I also think a lot of the blatantly obvious scam threads are started by members here on purpose as well, so they can pretend to "kick some scammer ass" and build their post counts in the process ...lol I agree with you JOEL though, there are some crazy "CUNTS" here in this forum ...lol and Only GOD knows what's really going on in this place half the time!
Reluctantly allowing the sale of accounts seems to be the policy here, but it's hard to justify transferring positive trust to a new user whose motives for buying could well be dishonest. Straightforward buying of trust isn't condoned, so why should this back door way of getting it be?
In practice though, how could admin stop it even if they wanted to, or strip sold accounts of positive trust which is no longer applicable?
They only have certain information about an account, the email, password, isp and maybe a signed message. They may have other magic forensic stuff, but I'd have thought that would be pretty labor intensive.
All that sellers would do would transfer everything to the new user as part of the deal, and isp's change all the time.

How can its possible for one to own too many "Green Trusted" accounts anyway ? Either he is lying the account sales or maybe one of the trusted members is miss using powers.My point is,let the account sales be there but if Mods can delete such green trust account sales thread or DT tag the sellers rightfully ,it can avoid further scam.
I totally agree with you mate.Account sales for High trust account should not be encouraged in the forum as a scammer may get a chance to scam someone or someone may abust trust powers.Accounts starting up such kind of threads should be handed a perma ban.
So a lot of threads and concerns are being brought up recently with trading accounts on this forum,especially of higher ranks or green trust which are blatantly used for scamming.And we're still encouraging such account sales openly in self-moderated threads?
