There's a reason they put restrictions on new accounts.
It's been discussed before. Staff members have confirmed selling accounts and buying accounts is allowed. Even advertising it on the forum is allowed. I doubt this is going to change in the near future either.
We're told to ignore the number of posts and account age as measures of trustworthiness, how is user trust any better? Doesn't the accumulated trust get sold along with the account?
OP, got any accounts with high trust ratings?
The bottom line is not to trust anyone on here. Positive feedbacks can easily be left from sockpuppet accounts, but wont show up unless they're from people on the trusted list. Accounts with some positive trust from them would probably be worth something.
