GONE GONE GONE GONE GONE.

It wont always allow it to be wiped clean... it's entirely up to Tomatocage and he may decide not to do it.

If you need escrow, here is my thread:

I dont know if tomato would be up for it. He could easily say to the buyer that he is still you and refuse to remove it. This is the most likely scenario.

That was a really stupid idea to post with the account your selling. Even if your not a scammer and the new owner is not a scammer, there will be the negative trust because there is a new user and the new user didn't make the old posts and didn't earn the old trust.
You should've made a throwaway account to sell the new account, its too late.
People who left the negative trust should consider leaving neutral trust to warn that the account was transferred, but also to not completely ruin it.

Some users have tried to fake the sale of their account in an effort to get negative trust removed from their account. It generally doesn't work and only attracts attention to the scam they (tried to) pull(Ed) off.

Plus buying a scammer account has questionable ethics as it results in scammers receiving money for their scam.

how much do you want for it?

i am going to make you start by offering me a price.

that is much too high. Especially to a scammer. It will take a while to find a buyer selling for 1.3 btc.

I would offer .25 for it on the condition that tomatocage agrees to remove the negative trust upon my confirmation that I have purchased the account, a signed message proving ownership as well as a 14 day waiting period until funds are released to you to ensure your account is not involved in any scams that have not been reported yet

I think a 0.5 btc deal would be a good amount provided the negative trust is removed, and maybe they add a neutral trust saying account was sold to new hands. Or else 0.2 would be good with the negative trust on it. Anyone could easily resell it for over 1 btc if this is met

And what about the negative trust feedback from your account?  ;D
I think that no-one is going to buy it.

Should I take it that you are not able to accept my offer?

Both the account and the funds can stay with escrow if you want, but I don't want to pay for an account only a little while later a scam accusation opens up against it.

The red mark should remain thats the risk of the buyer. How would we know that you're not just attempting to remove the feedback by pretending the account was brought?

That is the reason why a well established user would have an advantage over some random newbie user buying the account. A more established account has a better chance of being able to get the negative feedback removed.
As mentioned above this has been attempted several times in the past. As mentioned above this did not end up very well for the people attempting this scam

i stumbled across this. you can legally buy and sell forum accounts here?

It dosen't look like he is trying this but he could probably also buy his own account back just to have the neg feedback removed.

Are you still selling this account? I will buy this account for 0.01 btc.

Buying and selling accounts is legal here.

I think it is just publicity stunt to be honest. He can pretend to buy his own account and then ask to remove his red trust. I doubt that he will be able to clean his account to begin with. People are buying account mainly for signature campaigns. You can not participate in signature campaign with red trust. And if by any chance some campaign allows that they will cut your payment in half or something like that. So buying that compromised account is a very bad investment.

exactly.

i strongly believe every account proven to be once owned by segvec will not lose the scammer tag.

accounts known so far: segvec, Jcw188, stanozlolz
