If the seller is dumb enough to show real data, the amount of Merit makes it easy to reduce the search space, as it can only be a few accounts. This of course doesn't prove that account is really for sale.
I've tried to identify accounts from a sales thread before, but so far I couldn't do it.

There aren't that many users who earned 17 Merit. Yesterday's data:

From these, only a few accounts have at least 1000 Activity and 2000 Posts
I used my scraped profile data, which started on May 4. This is inaccurate to use now. I don't want to check further now, Quickseller's statement makes it likely it's just fake data anyway.

It is not possible to have 1649 activity and have more posts than activity.

Doesn't really prove anything either though as the user could just be pulling numbers out of his arse, and trying to scam. I mean it's useful if we can find the account or closest matches, and watch whether the password/email changes.

Another thing Vod's project is good for!

Vod might help you, he's got the user list scraped.

I have some data too but I think it doesn't cover all of 2014. I'll check.

Edit: Looks fake. To achieve activity 1649 the user would have to be registered in 2013 or earlier.

Closest match that I could find: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/yussuf89-151256

Thanks for the info. Will keep monitoring.

Comes with Registered email address.

There is no user id or name, but these stats can be handy.
Is there a way to bust it ? I can't think of one since the "members" section is disabled. Undecided
