escrow?

i offer 1.2 btc

That's what the escrows are used . They are basically trusted members . So basically the Idendity of the account won't get releaved before you sell your account .
Btw could you tell us how much Activity / posts (Approximated numbers to keep your account annonymus)

Is it on default trust? If not then your asking price is probably a bit on the high side. I think there is also a very good chance you would need to wait an extended period to sell it as heros in general take a very long time to sell.

Also does the account happen to be a donator/VIP? If so then I might be interested but not at that price.

I do not think it is on default trust, and is not donator/VIP.

your asking for 3 btc? with green trust could be worth that or a little more.

:)

In my experience this is not the case but if you feel otherwise then you should buy it.

Nah not looking to buy anything ATM. but I think a Hero account with some green trust looks good on paper. :)

The guy seems like he is trolling or spamming or whatever .
In the best cases (Avatar , being on DefaultTrust List , Green positive , a lot of posts and a lot of Activity (soon legendary) ) , the best it can get is 2 BTC I guess. Tops nothing more then that

does it have trusted green trust or non trusted positive trust ? 2BTC is still so high anyways selling a green trust account lead to a scam

Yes, definitely has trusted green feedback

I don't like seeing these sales on the forums. Lower account levels I'm okay with, but a Hero member with trust is just begging for someone to buy it for x amount of Bitcoin and scam for >x amount.

Hopefully it takes a long time to sell, good luck.

Total posts and activity count?

I don't think it would be a very good idea to disclose such information because doing so would potentially reveal the identity of the account.

I would also say there is a good chance that the OP is not serious about selling based on his very high price and him not being very responsive on this thread.

Just activity would be fine then.

The OP says it is hero so 490 or greater. I would think people would be more concerned about the trust rating over the activity level as that is what people are going to pay for

you cant do this if the account buyer doing some deal with someone you dont know eaither he is going to scam unless he scames , you should remove freen trust before selling it otherwise it can be used for s scam

a lot of scams are done via private messages so it would be difficult to detect scams prior to them being pulled off.

Can you prove that you own the account? I'm asking for others who may be interested.

If not what proves that the account wasn't hacked?

Yes, of course I could prove this and no it is not hacked.  That is why I'm willing to go with a reputable escrow.

That doesn't change anything if you use an escrow. It could still be hacked.

It's a decent offer. but i'd sell it for around 1.8 - 2btc

Yeah and by scamming with their new Hero member account with positive trust. Is it a heavy positive trust?

that offer was for an account that I believe I can procure that has deep/dark green trust and is on default trust (and is a legendary account). You are selling an account with "a bit of green trust" which implies is only light green and is not on default trust.

The market for these accounts is very small so if you were to expect to sell it quickly you would be disappointed. I believe that person is now accepting offers for "light green" accounts as well.

Did not know you were talking about a legendary acct.

And mine has dark green trust (over 10), although I don't think it is on the "default trust" list.

you should send that guy a PM.

Are you willing to tell me the name of the account (via PM)? I think I may have asked this before but I am not sure if this was to you or someone else.

The only reason anyone would pay extra for green trust is to scam, so it is a good practice to insist on a signed message from an old address even when dealing with a member with good trust rating.

Maybe a legit purpose to buy an account is the signature campaigns, no one "sane" will buy an account only for scam the other forum users, because everyone should use an escrow (for prevent any scam attempt).

there is also the prestige of being able to post from an account with green trust. This is the primary reason why someone would buy a hero account over a senior account.

He may also want to buy/sell something but as he isn't trusted enough, most people will go away. So with accounts which have more value, he can buy/sell.

Selling accounts with green trust can be easily used to scam others if the accounts are sold. If possible, try to remove the green trust before selling the account as it is you who has earned the feedback and not the buyer. There has been a case before as well where the account sold was used to scam with the help of the feedback. Anyways, your wish.

In an ideal world, this would be true. You're right in saying that the trust was intended for the original owner of the account and reflects the trades that they did, and not the new owner. However, having green trust also significantly increases the value of the account being sold which means that it makes sense for the seller to retain the feedback in order to get maximum profit from the transaction.


Positive trust shouldn't matter for a sig campaign since someone with zero trust and someone with positive trust would get paid at the same rate per post.

From what I've seen, it's fairly common to not use escrow for trades if the other member has positive trust or has a high enough rank (i.e. senior member and above). Fortunately, most of these tend to be smaller trades and larger trades tend to always use escrow.

I doubt anyone would spend 2BTC just to get an account to TRY to scam with.  Most people would want escrow for any transaction that high regardless of trust levels.  I think this would be used more for sig campaigns (a lot pay slightly more for Hero), lending, more attention when posting in threads, etc.  If someone wanted to scam they could buy a senior rank for much cheaper and then work their way up.

Then why exactly will someone buy a Hero member for 2 BTC when they can buy it for 1.5 or less .
As you state , the trust doesn't matter right

Actually even this method isn't completely scam-proof. The old owner of the hero account could simply move/sell coins from an old address linked to his account so that it has a balance of 0 BTC. Then, the private key of this empty address could be sold alongside the account. The new owner would be able to send a signed message from the old address since he would have the private key.

You don't need to pay extra for a green trust account. The signature campaigns pay based on rank only.

I know indeed I told the unique legit purpose to buy another account is the signature campaigns, no one of them look if you have a green trust or neutral trust (maybe only the cloumining.website signature campaign).

The other non-legit purpose for buy a green trust Sr. /Hero member is to scam the other newbie users, but as I said the user of the escrow is always necessary.

Accounts with avatars sell for more because of the prestige associated with avatars. This is very similar to some of the reason why accounts with positive trust sell for more although the preimum for positive trust is generally more then that for avatars.

Why don't you go for an auction instead?
I don't think there stands a chance to get the offers below the previous one if you set up a price and wait for some good offers, but clearly mention that you won't accept below the mentioned rate, as doing this will only have your time wasted as everyone will quote lower only.

He needs atleast 2BTC. Auctioning won't get him that much. I think he got 2+ offers so far. I suggest him to go for it. "Better to get something than nothing!"

You are right!

Sure the green trust won't get him anything more using a sig campaign, but he can always use it to scam or create an IPO for a cryptocoin.

Hi I am new here I was just wondering if selling accounts is allowed on this site. From some of the posts it seems like is some like it is not.

Yes. You can sell accounts. In fact, Quickseller sells accounts. If you wanted to buy accounts, he has a whole range of them.

If you can sell accounts then why are people worried about anonymity of the account?

actually my inventory is running very low and will likely stop selling once I sell what I have

Is it not worth it/profitable anymore or something of the sort?

There are a lot of scam attempts and they tend to take a long time to sell them. Plus it is frustrating to see the level of spam on most of the accounts.

Ok makes sense that you would not want to support a group of people that hurt the community that you like.

I
I think he is legitimately offering a service that people can benefit from, but yes sadly there are a lot of scammers on here, which make it difficult for anyone trying to do legitimate business.

That is not surprising. You appear to value misrepresntation. even lying, before anything else. Word speads.

Care to elaborate? Besides the one case which attracted a lot of attention, I haven't seen any other accusation against Quickseller. Whatever was his reason for getting into this business, I feel he is not comfortable doing it anymore. The market slowing down may have contributed too.

Still for sale, will take 1.6BTC

Well i think these infos may totally reveal the account
And then removal of green trust to black or red very soon

A green trust member worths much more
Green trust can't be obtain Easily
