Ignore

Check PM

I would suggest that you stop selling bitcointalk accounts.
Mostly scammers buy accounts to scam people with the registered date.
I don't see any benefit in buying accounts if your honest/trustworthy.
This only benefits the scammers.

This just doesn't seem right. Surely this can't be allowed

You would think o_O

This is my thought process as well.

Other than quickly and illegitimately buying trust, what purpose does buying an account have over creating your own?

Why would you want to sell forum accounts and why (just for information, curious) would anybody buy a forum account?

Can anyone explain that to me :)

~ Luc

Nice that is great.

Most people will buy an account so they can scam on it. It looks like it has some trust since it is old, so newer members will go first to them.

Are you still selling accounts?

Yes. I have 3 or so from 2010 and several from 2011 and 2012. About all of them have just 2 forum posts.

This weekend only:

2012's - .2BTC 
2011's - .5BTC

Who will buy these accounts? scammers?

Why is this still allowed?


OP should get scammer tag for this

BOB want's to buy all of your accounts I just want to make sure so we will use escrow and you send the accounts first slack I need more slack! (=

We can trade 1 account at a time for starters and I'll send first. After we build up a trust we can hop up the numbers. Its that or we can find someone for escrow.

This should not be allowed imo

this is like encouraging scammers ... is this allowed ?  >:(

$10 that's not his actual picture

Has the OP scammed anyone?

If not, he obviously is not a scammer. Bitcoin is sometimes used in scams. Should people selling Bitcoins be labeled scammers?

Maybe someone just wants to have an account with a little rep attached so they can sell their stuff without the usual flaming BS typically thrown at new members. Maybe not.

Allowing this type of activity on the forum allows newbies a powerful warning right in their face, instead of keeping these activities (which cannot reasonably be prevented) in the depths of IRC. This forum contains some of the most powerful arguments in favor of really THINKING about all the risks involved in transactions which is required in a world without chargebacks and other fraud protection.

Anyway - debating small-scale account sales between private individuals is a red herring.

This is proof mods don't give 2 shits about this forum.

Nah, the forum policy allows selling of accounts. We can't really stop it anyway, so better let everyone know that accounts are being sold and traded. Do not trust anyone just because 'their account seems old'/'have a lot of posts'.

Agreed. That an getting free XRP in a dishonest way.

Who actually buys accounts nowadays? I mean, you need 10 posts and 4 hours to get here, why not just continue with that?

this thread should be banned, your account and all accounts listed at the same IP.

This man is a con man and a thief

do not trust him.

he will steal from you

Listen here dickhead. I've been selling accounts for the past month and have not had any complaints, only happy customers. You've got your panties all up in a bunch.. why? I don't know, but I can do you a favor by replacing your 6 day old account for something a little nicer. I'll make you a deal, how about .09btc for a 2012 account?

Fixed

seriously... this is only for scammers to buy

Excuse me, sir? Now you've crossed the line. I suggest you take a brief moment and part yourself from the computer, step outside your home and shake the sand out of your vagina. After you gather yourself, hop back on the site and familiarize yourself with the forum rules. Until you do so, do us all a favor and piss off. You're causing a nuisance to this wonderful community.

dannyjr89 isn't BTCTalkAccounts if you're wondering.

Why would anyone want to buy an account when you can register one for free?

PM Me. Might be interested in an account depending on how many posts they have.

Because its easier to scam someone with an older account. Looks like they've been a member of the community for a while
IMHO the op should be banned for encouraging scammers.

The link in your sig doesn't work exactly right.  I see it would just lead here anyway.  Clicked because I was interested to see if you had started a webpage for this purpose.  Can I ask what kind of volume you see?

I think I'll ignore the OP and pretty much everyone posting "PMd you" and "Please PM me" and etc.

Thanks, I just fixed it. And to answer your question, there's not much business here. I've only sold to about 6 people since I've started this.

6 too many. how many of those have since scammed members?

This is disgusting.  Shame on you OP.

Wow. You're so defensive aren't you. In fact what this guy said says it all.

only scammers are intrested in this service

this is whack yo

How the fuck is this allowed? :(

Sell them all to JoeyJmr. You send first.

HAHA This totally made my day!

Yeah OP, shame on you, may god punish you...
That this is even allowed is totally retarded (sorry Mod's but it IS) and it just makes scams worse.

Kuusj98, pm me a price and maybe we can work something out.

+1. Everyone commenting this is bad.  Take a step back and think why in the world you are on a bitcoin forum if you want to be babysat by mods/gov/father figures etc...
Why should they?  It's a free forum?

What is the activity? It is useless now if the activity is low (inactive for years)

None of the accounts have any activity. As I said in the original post, all of the accounts have just a couple of posts.

Get them cheap while you can, prices will be going up next week.

Just dropped in to say I hate you OP.

Why are they useless then?
With activity system, it does not change anything if you are old or not, if you were inactive.

No one will look the date

It's probably not even their main account, he/she could be anyone.

What a lot of garbage. My own account is very new and only a halfwit who doesn't know how to post or someone looking to scam people would want to buy these accounts. Credibility doesn't increase because the account is older, credibility is generated by what you say and the way you say it.

It may be legal, but it's certainly not warranted or wanted.

I don't see why you guys are making such a big deal about this.  It doesn't matter that these accounts are 1-3 years old.  They don't have any activity and as a result still look like brand new accounts.  The only difference between these accounts and an account that someone just created today is the registration date, and no one with any common sense pays attention to that anyway.

Haha! :D That's a bit strong don't you think? It seems quite out of character from the usually chirpy Milly Bitcoin happy-go-lucky 'advice'. I've copied this one from your website, it's good wholesome advice, more the kind of line you should be propagating rather than slandering the forum operators:

"Robbery Reported at Bitcoin Exchange Meetup

By Milly Bitcoin – June11, 2013

Many Bitcoin users have been promoting local meetups for Bitcoin exchanges.  The services work by connecting local Bitcoin buyers and sellers who can make exchanges face-to-face.  Of course anytime you meet strangers off the Internet to do cash transaction it is dangerous.  Bitcoin users are now starting to report issues with these meetups.

In this story (now mostly removed) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174918.0 a user in Ireland claims the buyer was an undercover Police who suspected the user of dealing drugs.

Now a story out of Germany https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231970.0 where a users claims he was beaten and robbed trying to do an in-person transaction.

Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn has also reported a relative was defrauded by someone who agreed to pick up a laptop in person only to have the person exploit the Paypal dispute policy and obtain a refund.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4L7xDNCmA

Meeting strangers from the Internet to do cash transactions is a dangerous activity no matter how many people tell you they have done it successfully."

 ;)

Lol, how could this be even allowed? Although if people are buying it why no... :D

You are making accounts showing up on the first page when sorting by registration date seem less cool :(


Edit: ehm where is satoshi, not showing up in that list?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

Yeah but if you just go to members and click "Date registered" to sort the list, satoshis account has always been showing up on the top before, now it doesn't.

still hate you

So the more important thing is the date account registered than the post account or activity of an account ?

No, you have it backwards.  With the new activity formula, having an account with a old register date doesn't matter if you've hardly used the account.  You'll show up with the same activity as someone that's new.

What I mean is the price for account are higher based on the date registered but not calculate based on their post or activity

Why you said he scammer ? Because have many accounts ?

Thats one colourfull signature you got dear, shame I don't like you selling accounts...

Selling accounts is seen as a scammer thing. It encourages scammers to buy reputation.

Multiple accounts and and account selling should never be allowed on forums where business is conducted. It's fine on entertainment forums and places like reddit, but it's just a horrible idea to allow this on forums where you are dealing with buying and selling of currency and goods . This opens the door for scammers, shill bidding, and fake service reviews.

It can't be stopped sadly. Even if the moderators tried to stop it. They would deal outside the forum. For example reddit and other sites which has Bitcoin discussion. Most accounts which are sold are used to scamming and the things you have listed. But, some are also sold to allow people to get out of newbie jail. Although, that isn't very hard at all. So, I just consider the person who is selling them as a untrustworthy person because he/she is actually encouraging scamming.

Clearly this is allowed, otherwise this thread wouldn't exist.  :P

I just want to agree with this and hope this is going to stop, it's just scammer support.

Im sure my account worth more than 10 BTC

Wow, 160 account

Someone cleaned me out but I'm accepting orders for new bundles!

...from idiot to scammers. very valuable thread and reason, why is bitcoin community full of shit.

Selling Bitcointalk accounts in Bitcointalk Marketplace? Good job my friend.  :P

it's an extraordinary idea :D

Accounts? acc/btc? sounds good, i am selling bananas for ltc, nnless you're a reputable user, I expect you to send me payment first, then i send you the bananas, gl
 PM.

who the fuck pays .5 btc for a 0 post account,

fuck i'll sell my account for .5 btc

I'd buy a account with a Scammer Tag on it. (This coming from a guy who gave random people on Reddit $70-$100.)

Wow you are cheap  :D

when will the admiins ban this?

This can only hurt the community. For christ sake, post #2 in this thread is a scammer trying to buy a legit account so he can go scam more people. Selling accounts should be disallowed.

Has anyone offered anything or you are making stuff up?

Honestly if i'm trying to check if someone's a scammer I just read through a few pages of their latest posts and check the dates. It's pretty easy to tell who's a legitimate trader and who is not.

1.5 BTC for a full member account? Jeeze. How much would that price a Hero account at?

Oh man now this is just going to flood the forum with scammers. Why would anyone else want to buy a old account? Is there any rule which mentions allowing scammers to participater in BCT?

"Can't be tracked", personally I disagree as there are ways to combat socks but BTCTalk command apparently does not see this.

Why? For signature deals it's very profitable. And scammers usually scam pretty well with just newb accounts anyway.

How can this guy keep coming up with more and more account to sell? open invitation to scammers. I have tried trading on the forum and honestly a member's reputation does give it some credit. I was scammed by a Full Member guy. Perhaps that was a bought account like this.
Not cool at all!

How can someone have a legit trade, when the email can be changed after giving their btc.

What are you talking about? How can someone change the email back after its been handed over and email/pass changed?

Keep in mind I've been doing this for a year. If there were an issue of me somehow stealing accounts back I'm pretty certain you could find at least 1 buyer complaint posted here in this thread.

User with ritzcasino in signature asks who would buy old account ? :D Well ... intelligence of some users here is very..lets say "out of range"

Scammer can came even with a new accouint, its more difficult but possible ;)

Btw:to  topic starter: youre welcome for free bumping ;)

I would think you would get more from the accounts if you were to actually make posts from the accounts and rank them up a little bit.

Account have avatar or not ?

I have 3 accounts with avatars.

The fact that this person is wanting to only sell the accounts as one package tells me that the accounts either do not exist or are hacked. Additionally the fact that the accounts have zero posts means that it would be impossible for him to prove ownership of the accounts.

I would avoid this like the plague

What price for one account who have an avatar?
Do you account are hacked?

how much you are looking for all the 3 accounts with avatar

Hey, I've been on here for 2 years and have traded a few hundred accounts during that time. Wouldn't you think I'd have some negative ratings showing if I were scamming people?

I'm selling all at once to make it easy on myself. I do not want to spend more time than I have to on here.

These accounts haven't been used in years or never at all, they don't belong to anyone but myself.

Yes What you said is true , he really must stop sell account to avoid scam/spam in the forum

He won't, it is a business venture after all and if someone scams or spams with an account they buy from him it doesn't negatively affect him at all. Just stating the truth.

You can make easy money participating in a signature thread payout. With enough posts you can make your money back and generate extra $$$ on the side

You should decrease the price IMHO. This is high for 'Bran New'.

What is the value of brand new accounts?

I know people who want newbie accounts, but I don't think brand new accounts without an avatar, just because it's registered a bit back is worth anything.

I dont know, I used to be able to sell them pretty well a year or so ago.

Hi Julian big fan of your work.

Uhh 0.75 btc is WAAYYY too much for this. Newbie accounts go for maybe 0.0001 each and its easier to make your own instead of paying almost 200$ for these accounts. Price should be more like 0.1 btc in that price range.

Hey man thanks. Its a wonder I can get anything done I'm always taking care of Ricky.

wait why would anyone get newbie accounts? i dont get it.. is there something I`m missing here? ???

Well having a list of user accounts and their passwords already made is easier to sell to people if you are into account selling, and these accounts were made in 2010 and older accounts are worth more than regular.

hey, is this still available?
 i just want to bid 0.05 for all of brand new account , also using escrow would be great.

still available?

It is a lie, Quickseller already said that rarely bought accounts are used to scam, and when they do, they manage do scam less than what the account is worth, making it worthless.

BTW, how much for each newbie from 2011?

I think  worse than selling accounts are these &*(^&*&@*@(!  "ad campaigns."  If they were eliminated probably 70% of all the messages on the entire forum would go away.  Most are so blatantly posted just to keep up post counts it's absurd. 

I would assume the forum itself (other than just the poster) benefits from them so obvious they obviously they won't.  I'd rather see a "forum donation" campaign or even a fee to allow posting in the most popular forums rather than all the BS posts just to keep up the count.

If it is "legal" here the OP should be allowed to sell accounts. There are already so many scammers that it makes no difference but what would you expect from ANY anonymous forum selling primarily with untraceable funds? That's the nature of the beast. Everyone has to put on their big boy pants and just watch who they deal with and take responsibility for their own purchases.  I mean if you are buying $100 Starbucks card for $15 (that's my weakness) or $400 Amazon card for $200 something is obviously up.

the guy is not scamming anyone, the buyer "may" scam someone but the word "may" is just a possibility and that is not in the hands of the seller.

  I do see where people have a valid concern with scammers buying these accounts, but they are good for signature campaigns too!

What is the potential activity of the newbie accounts?

(that is, how many activity period they have at least one post)

how much just for 1 account?

I'm not familiar with how post count is calculated.

Buying Jr.Member accounts,please pm me or check my thread

I also have 20 accounts from 2011 with a few posts each on them, willing to trade those for your jr member accounts. Or sell those for .008 a piece.

I have money today to buy these.

how much the price for that account ?

I'm trying to get a feel of what it's worth. I'm taking offers. If the price is right I'll sell.

Soldd legendary. New account added.

Bump rules

There should def be a permanent tag on the account saying something like "SECONDARY OWNER" or something to let everyone know it is a sold account. Either that, or such accounts are not allowed to post at all in the FS/WTS sections.

And to the poster who said "guaranteed the picture is not him", you are correct lol. its a character from a TV show (neflix original) called Trailer Park Boys. Hilarious show.

i think its illegal to buy accounts please stop to sell any accounts.
