Cost of Bitcointalk Accounts.

[Cryptowatch.com]

Personally I don't see why accounts should be tradeable at all?

What legit purposes are there for buying old accounts?

[notlist3d]

I'd sell if I was a legendary member if offered a good price.
I wouldn't see the point in selling now.
It'd be for pittance

I would not sell even with a good price.  I still have month's before chance of Legendary.  But i just have put so much effort into my account.  In a weird way it almost becomes part of you, you use it so often.

Between my feelings, and chances of someone using an account that is linked to be for bad keeps this account from ever being sold.

Only legit reason would be people who are trying to jump up into a signature campaign that is closed to lower ranks, and open to higher ranks.

Other than that there is not a whole lot of "legit" reasons.   Most of the other reasons in my opinion involve some sort of scam.

That would in my book also be not legit, as you're buying an account to get improve your own "forum status".

Worth thinking about is also the reputation of the account for the seller. If someone sells a bitcoin account, you can never be sure what the buyer does with the account. He might post stupid things, or he might orchestrate a scam, that might lead the seller into being part of an investigation.

For example, if there was a new pirateat40, he might buy tens of account to prop up his ponzi, and once it all went up in flames and an investigation was launched, account ip's might be collected, and by using isp-registries home addresses extracted, and you might have your house searched and all your computer equipment confiscated as you could've been complicit in the crime. Unlikely? Not if the ponzi/scam runs in the millions of dollar range. All for making a few satoshi's. If the account can't be traced back to you, and you do not have any reputation that might be damaged, it's another matter, but still unethical.

Personally I think account trading should be denied, as I can't see what legit reasons there are for doing it, but I can see many reasons that are not legit.

I think that is main reason people use.  I can say you will never see me buying or selling accounts.  Just is a little less legit/honest then I care to go for lack of better term.   

I do think trafficking in account's would get you looked down upon by many members.  But as per current rules it's not something they stop.   I don't keep up with politics on it as I know it's not something I want to be part of.

But as far as reasons I've heard people say signature campaign is most "legit" reason.  I'm not saying it's good, as it is cheating a system.   But almost every other option is scamming most likely.

If we can buy accounts , is it possible for me to buy a legndry member?
It would be awesome to have good respect

It's possible but I've only ever seen a couple sold and for quite a lot (around 2btc). I'd recommend just putting in the effort to achieve that rank over time instead.

I would never invest 450$ to buy a account , that is totally crazy.
I think i will wait 1-2 years to get legendary and sell mine

I don't think merely being a Legendary gives you respect, especially if you buy the account. You need to earn respect over time.

it is possible, but the price will be high! And it's not worth if you want make ROI, because many signature campaign only give you same rate hero member (and sometime same with Sr.member).
And even if you make post with legendary account, you won't automatically get respect from another user.
Your post content will determine that, if you don't have a lot experience about bitcoin (which legendary member usually have it), your post will look like member

yeah not worth and totally crazy
but if the buyer don't care about money (maybe rich buyer), it will be another story
and I think for next 2 years, rate of legendary member will be different compare to now

Since the bitcoin price is on down trending , I think it will affect into account's prize

I think you need more effort to do it. For example : your account will worth much higher if you're in default trust or green trust

not many legendary account are for sale(so difficult to achieve the legendary status), if there will be any you'd have to pay 3+ bitcoins.

[koelen3]

If i'd status of legendary , i would never sell it!
It's just too good to sell ,the legendary is not about name but how much you have earned with your experience and knowledge and how much you've contributed to Bitcoin community . I don't think it should ever be sold ,i'll wait for the day when i'll be legendary . It'll happen in a year i think but it will be amazing for me

I don't think some legendary members will sell thier accounts it's took so much time to be legendary. If I be legendary I will keep it.

I would never do it.  I still have months till legendary or chance of turning it since it's random.

But I do so much on the forums I would miss it.  I could not just sell and walk away.  Not to mention my biggest fear would be someone buys it and does a scam or something, then everyone would look for me.

I will keep my account and sleep good at night .

True, but it's just a largely meaningless rank at the end of the day. I guess some people will take the money if they can get it.

[mrhelpful]

The rates actually go up and down based on the available campaigns.

And also based on if there are more sellers then buyers on the market on the subsections, so the prices you see should just be a some what of a guide not a concrete thing. There are times when the seller is desperate for btc willing to unload 4 accounts for good discount.

Not necessarily. It does count for a lot when it comes to transacting on here. No newbie will be taken seriously.
