Green trust above +1 below +12

Already in a signature campaign
Not in the default trust list.

What would that sell for?

Please note, I'm not selling it just yet, I'm just looking for a quote.

you could get around .5 btc.

I've seen them go for 0.4 BTC. With the price flux, anything is possible.

That's decent amount, I was hoping for around 0.65 though. I'll check with the account traders here.

i think 0.60 to 0.65 u can get maximum , but i dont recommend sale of a green trust account as the person who earns the trust is not using anymore that account

Really? That is quite insane. Is this even allowed?

Account selling is bad practice in my book! Usually ends up involved in some scam or another.

This is one way to look at it, but honestly it's also great for just having some more passive income. You can pick up a few accounts for cheap and use them solely for sig campaigns. Passive income all over the place, no scam involved.

Personally, I think that all accounts should be required to have a secret question. When the secret question is changed a 1 year notification displays on the profile (To make sure people know the account has been transferred).

Changing the password could be done for any number of reasons. Changing the question only happens when an account is hacked/bought.

Just my two cents here.

As mentioned above I believe that most account trades are done for signature deals.

I think forcing people to have a security question would be a horrible idea and would result in many more accounts getting hacked.

We already have the security log which notifies people when a password was changed in the last 30 days

Green trust accounts shouldn't go up for sale, they are prone to scam.

Perhaps so; but the vast majority of signature campaigns don't require you to have positive trust - in fact, I've only ever seen one so far that required it. Yet, the OP is promoting his account specifically on the base that it has positive trust, and seeking a higher price because of this. The way I see it, whomever is willing to pay for this extra will either resell it for profit, or use it to scam - a regular, cheaper Senior Member account would do well enough for a signature campaign.

OP, please reconsider selling this account.

The price for green trust accounts usually don't add too value to anyone but a scammer. You should just have the trust removed and sell the account for it's ranking on the forum so it'll be used for a good purpose.

Someone could potentially want a green trusted account to stroke their ego. I don't think green trust would cause very much additional value but it would add some marginal value.

The green trust may become red soon

Yes its allowed, but not right as these positive trust accounts can take part in scams.

Indeed, that is what I figured. Whilst I knew accounts were traded I didn't know this happened openly!

So please add close tag in title or lock this.

Great. A possible scammer is born.

Your idea really negative.... How about starting business with the trusted account ? That easier to have customer then the new one. Or just for sign campaign

I'd say that's worse to buy a positive account to start a business, it's basically fake credibility.  If it was to be used for a signature another account would be bought at a much cheaper rate.

Everyone could start business/trade even newbie while they willing to use escrow.
Sold account with green trust has bigger chance to do scam, maybe some member will agree to go first when dealing with him.
