You have funny feedbacks:

"This guy threatened to kill me for not giving my bank account details and password to online banking. What a con artist. He even sent me nude pictures of his mom and asked for 10 BTC "

"User scammed me for 1.5 BTC, however he then returned it. Be careful working with him! "

that + two feedbacks about your account being sold won't help you to get big offers

and Now your account is worthless as people will now it has been sold. Sold accounts are usually used for schills or scamming via trades or loans.

Not sure that's true. Some months ago...maybe a year ago...members of this forum used to go around trying to neg trust account sellers and sold accounts. I don't really see that anymore. I don't think anyone cares at this point.

I've seen negative trust just from a listing like this. I even got some once because I posted an ad that I wanted to BUY a localbitcoins account. I understand the concern for the safety of the forum members, but come on. A lot of people don't even research into it, or ask the intentions of the OP. They just leave the feedback. I got some negative trust yesterday for posting a loan request without collateral, when the title of the thread included the words, "No Collateral"

I think people should care, sure escrow is used more than it was previously but plenty of people will to buy these for shil and loan accounts. I just don't see it as a positive thing in any case (especially at the member level, not much to be made from sig on it)

I see where you're coming from.  The borrowing threads are a lawless place, but the community there is typically pretty engaged in identifying potential scam threats.

At the same time, I can't be entirely sure what the account would be used for after it's sold, so while it could be used as a shill account, a signature account could be just as likely--even if there's "not much to be made from sig on it".

And then some might want it just for the goofy avatar.

...or for increased earnings potential in advertising campaigns.
From a member account? Most campaigns have a cap at 100 post per week. So if that wasn't enough they would have to make 100 meaningful post on yours as well. That just leads to more spam on the boards then anything.

Well hopefully (for your sake) it won't be this board.  If it's useful to someone, the offer exists.  I don't work with bitcoin anymore so I can't justify using this account.

Selling this account.  PM with offers.  Will use mutually agreed-upon escrow.
