I wanna buy an account and i wanna knw the kind of things i should watch out for when im buying a membership account on this forum
Use an escrow when dealing with someone to minimize the risks you might face. Escrows do a good job on keeping a deal safe and secure. Also, when buying an account, ask the seller first whether the account has been banned in the past or not (though I am not sure on how to determine this one) so if the time comes that the bought account will be banned for some reasons, it will not receive a perma ban (a previously banned account is likely to receive a perma ban if the account commits an action against the forum rules or break the rules per se.) Also, buy accounts only with trusted sellers out there because there are still scammers willing to risk their name to just get some couple of BTC on their hands. There is no way to know if an account have been banned or not, so the seller can lie without consequences. You will only know if your bought account gets banned That's why I enclosed a sentence stressing that it is difficult to know if the user was banned in the past or not. To prevent this, buy from a trusted account seller in this forum.

think about that if no one can know if that account is banned or not, why it should matter?
no point in determining if it is banned or not if you can not be secure at 100% about it

Are people still farming accounts, well at lease there is still a market for it, you really need a lot of free time to farm accounts on Bitcointalk. Becoming a members is about a 2 month posting activity or so why not just wait.

As long as there are people who want to bypass the system there will be a market. Chances are as there will always be account's for sell. I still think people should raise their own account's. Buying account's is just not a good way to start. But I know there are those who will still do it.

I think it's very few legit account's that sale. Most that have been using for a long time really don't want to start over. Personally I cannot imagine starting over and putting in a few more years. The amount of money the account brings vs signature campaign does not compute for a sale of a good long term account. Most accounts sold I think are farmed. I could be wrong but I predict this. Or there was that hack it's hard to tell how many accounts came out of that.

Buying account's is just not a good way to start. But I know there are those who will still do it. The main purpose of buying account here is for the sign campaign, most sign campaign required member rank or above, of coz there is some can be joined in even Newbie rank. Also, you can think of like a investment, buying a low rank acc with cheap price, join a sign campaign, raise the activity, after few months / or even few weeks, rank up and sell the acc with a better price.

Things to consider are the ff: *Check the post quality - If you're buying an account, make sure to check the post quality. Low quality may go cheaper while accounts with high quality posts can be pricey. *Proof of ownership - Most people around this forum always asks for a signed message from an address that was posted long ago. The longer the better. This is the basic and a must. *Negative trust -- It's up to you if you'd like to buy an account with a negative trust. They come with a cheaper price but I'd say no to this. If you aim for a sig campaign, most managers wont accept people with negative trust or if they do accept, they'll cut your payment in half because of your trust. *Escrow - Ask any reputed guy here to escrow when buying an account. Some charges a fee while some just accepts tips but you can ask your escrow to check the account for you to see if there are past issues like sig campaign bans and such.

Ownership: You should ask the seller to prove the ownership by signing a message for you...
Quality of Posts: The boards where the account made posts must not be off-topic mostly, and all should be constructive in order for you to be able to get accepted in a signature campaign, if you are buying one for the same regards...
Escrow: Never do any trade without having an escrow, I got scammed once and so advising you to strictly follow this rule...

No necessary, some Sr member can be banned from automated signature campaigns which will reduce your profitability. The average increase of pay from full member to Sr member is around 0.0004 and the price of the account is nearly double. Post quality plays a huge part in pay per activity campaign as most only accept good posters.

I will be simple scared to do something like this...reason is simple. you don't know, how many posts were deleted before deal, you don't know, how and where is account involved and there may be lot of misunderstandings in the future because of this. another point is, that maybe you will have different opinions than original acc holder so you will not be able to express yourself and your ideas. it is like buying other identity for this board..is better to build your own with own acc.

Though when searching for the membername in bitcointalk it should become clear if something fishy happened with the account. I dont think its so very easy to scam with that when a buyer is investigating first. Mostly there are many interested persons and some of them will investigate and post their findings when they find bad things.

Most sellers would not expose the account that they are selling to a third party which they don't trust, this reduces the value of the account and potentially get negative trust.

Use escrow If possible have escrow assess the account to see if the trust is there and the owner is not lying about the activity. Check through the PM/post for suspicious activity Make sure you dont pay too much for an account, check the average prices on hte marketplace That should be it

Even with escrow you can still lose. You would really have to make escrow hold it for a extended period of time past when you get the account. With leaked databases that were flooded on here a day ago from Cloudminr.io , chances are some accounts for sale will come from this. It is possible you buy an account and original owner comes back and want's it and can prove that they did own it before hack. I really suggest people making and raising their own account. It takes time, but if you like bitcoin it should be fun.

I think it's very few legit account's that sale. Most that have been using for a long time really don't want to start over.

i see what you mean. i don't see myself selling my account either. but as i said not everyone on this forum is in a signature campaign. and i have seen people who want to sell their own account which was posting just for their own and not for any signature campaign. granted it is rare but they exist ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) i have seen somebody who was selling his account because he was not interested in bitcoin anymore and lost a lot of bitcoin gambling so left the forum. p.s. and i think someone who wants to but an account for signature campaign should not care if it was farmed or not since he will do the same!

Most sellers would not expose the account that they are selling to a third party which they don't trust, this reduces the value of the account and potentially get negative trust. I agree. Some sellers show the accounts to interested persons but this is something only noobs are doing. The risk is high the account gets a negative for that. I often escrowed account trades and before i secure an account i ask the buyer which things i should check with the account. So the only one knowing the account at this point is the seller and me.
