if my account has positive trust is it value pushed up?

[favdesu]

positive trust can never hurt in my opinion. however, I prefer bitrated/more sources as trust indicators.

If you ask me then its NO.
I don't care if you have a Dozen of Trust but do care If you have a single legitimate Trust from Default List.
You should always try to stop the tradings of accounts that involve green trust as if it goes in wrong hands can lead to some sort of scams.
else there is no point of trust all remedy lies in Escrow , use Escrow for all small to big stuffs and stay safe.

You might not value the account but it does add more value if you check the digital goods section. People will obviously pay a little bit more for trust, sometimes for good or bad reasons. As shorena said above you probably wont be able to scam for much if anything at all so it's probably not worth buying an account to scam but some feedback might make people trust you more for sure.

It has been much Time here for me and i do have seen Accounts with trust being sold at little higher than their counterparts with no Trust but I do have seen People From Default List Rolling Back their Feedback once they got to know that its not the same person whom we sent the Feedback.

Yes, if your account have many positive trust the selling price is higher than no have positive trust account. 
Because if your account have many positive trust selling goods more easy in here.

It's a common misconception that positive trust equates to selling goods easily. The trust system in Bitcointalk is not great and does not provide a fair reference for people to judge their trust. I would like to highlight that an escrow could easily solve the trust problem and most escrow services are free of charge. If you do buy an account, sudden abnormal changes, ie. Address change or posting style change may earn you a negative trust instead.

Considering people have been trading account for ages, it's not a big problem. Any experienced trader knows that escrow is almost always mandatory.
But yes, an account with positive trust is more valuable.

Is the trading and selling of accounts legal on this forum? I see postings for the sale of accounts all over the forums and it makes no sense that this would be allowed. It seemingly undermines the entire system of trust and reputation that has been built in

yes it is, otherwise people would not openly sell accounts here, but outside the forum and secretly

and of course positive trust accounts cost more, because is harder to make one and there are few of them around

YES. You can clearly see in the digital goods section that it's now part of the title unlike before when someone Is selling an account title is just WTS Senior account, nowadays WTS Senior account with Green Trust

Yes, but at the end is almost the same, you can earn 0.10 more than a normal account, not more (if you're lucky because it is hard to sell an account, especially if this is a Legendary or Hero Member account).

I just cant imagine selling my account.  The hero/legendary someone put a lot of time into.   Even if I ever took a break from forum I would keep it.

I wish it told us how many hero and above have been sold. But I know it is not known.  Also wish it would tell if more after that hack on forums a while back.   I still wonder how many old accounts it brought back to forum through "bad" ways.

I think in perfect world no account would be sold.   But we do not live in perfect world.

[faince222]

Yes, there is a great increase of the value. For a sr.member account (which cost around 0.20) you can sold it at a double price ! But it isn't easy to sell an account, market account has low liquidity.

If the account has lots of trusted sources, it be used to launch their own website or future btc ventures.

Then theres the other evil route where someone would just buy it for scam purposes for a 1 time big hit. You`ll be suprised though that most people arent selling their accounts to reduce the scamming here on the forum.

it is not a good idea to sell the account with positive trust because it might get abused

I think most people in the right mind wouldnt sell the account only because it took so long to increase their rep, even if they sold that account for a premium. only cause it would make the community like crap or bite them back later down the road.

if you follow the digital market section, you'd see a lot of people literally don't care about anything. there are so many account sales, even hero accs with trust...

The positive trust has to be valid. Eg. the other party must have risked something. People would not care if you have deal with little amounts. Still, sudden change of password, posting style and address could expose the entire scheme. Most people aren't interested in building account with positive trust is due to the fact that many would buy and account to participate in signature campaigns, not to scam.

yeah. this is actually a pretty bad thing . because an scammer can easily buy an account with positive trust and scam people with it.
I think he would get caught fast and the trust turns negative fast but still he might take some victims this way.

[DaddyMonsi]

Value of account with positive trust will surely increase but selling an account with positive trust has a small market since one of reason why there's a need for a higher rank account is for signature campaigns. We all know that positive trust is not a requirement to join those camps. Your market here are mostly those who will engage in selling items here or trading currencies.

[wadili89]

1st thing came into my mind why do you even want to sale your green trust account ?

you earned the trust you are a trusted person and you earned the trust then there is no point selling it to someone else how did not earned tha trust ? i will not sale my account does not matter if it have green trust or not

[cryptworld]

Of course
but when people notice account has been sold, it will be negative trusted

[tommorisonwebdesign]

It is true that accounts with positive trust are more valuable and it it true that scammers will buy these accounts in attempt to scam people. I think that the people who got their accounts to their high level of trust are unlikely to sell their accounts since they are indeed trustworthy people and are aware of the scammers who will but their accounts. There is nothing that can really be done to prevent the selling of accounts which is why as far as I know is why it is tolerated.

[subSTRATA]

Of course

only if people believe there is reason to not trust the new owner of the account; a majority of the time purchased accounts are used for sig campaigns anyways.
