Only 45% of the original price? The majority of other users sell AWS codes at 20%, and there are also plenty who sell as low as 10%, occasionally even lower. You're not going to get much business because this is a horrible deal, sorry.

And how are the EDU codes risky? I haven't heard of anyone having problems with them, including me. I've used more than 10 of them without a hassle.

Fortunately, I've been pretty smart about who I buy from so I haven't been scammed yet. People with brand new accounts, zero/negative feedback, or have their topic set to self-moderated are blatant red flags. I'm going to look elsewhere but might come back if the price is reduced to a reasonable one (<20%).

There are several sellers on this forum in the marketplace with selly.gg and rocketr.net listings that have zero or negative feedback, negative trust on this forum for their profiles here, and they're self-moderating their postings to block genuine feedback from users who are getting scammed. As long as the moderators aren't doing anything, plenty of users, especially newbies who don't know how to identify red flags for scams, will continue to be scammed.

So here's my advice: do not buy from a seller if:

- the seller's topic is self-moderated (you can tell from the lock icon)
- they have zero or negative trust on their bitcointalk profile
- they have zero or negative feedback on their selly.gg/rocketr.net profile

And if you do get scammed, PLEASE REPORT THEM SO OTHERS DO NOT GET SCAMMED. Leave negative feedback on their selly.gg/rocketr.net, report them on that website,  leave negative trust on their bitcointalk profile, post a formal scam accusation, and report them to the moderators.

If scamming wasn't so unbelievably rampant in the marketplace section, I'd consider donating bitcoin to this forum, but I can't do that if the moderators are not doing their jobs.

Scammer! Everyone, please do not buy from TraderCrypto, you will not get a valid code!

"Use this code (Save20Off) to get a discount" because you're paying too much for these fake codes. 

Get a life dude.

I'd really like to buy from you, great price, but I only have Ethereum. Selly.gg accepts Ethereum, so if you enable that for your listing, I will buy from you.

"EDU_FY2017_Q3_10"... isn't that the $150 AWS promo code from the GitHub Student Developer Pack? Seems like an obvious scam to me, unless it can be proved otherwise. And there's no seller feedback, sheesh, but at least this post isn't set to self-moderate (those listings here on bitcointalk that have self-moderation enabled just screams scam!). Be careful with these sketchy selly.gg and rocketr.net sellers.

I'm interested, please send me further details.

Bump!

Can I have a vouch code? Your selly.gg profile is down again.

This is a good price that I would enjoy buying at but I need more confidence to buy from someone who doesn't have any feedback, any suggestions?

Bump, why are the moderators not doing anything??
