Do newbies buy BitcoinTalk member accounts?

[FowardtoVictory]

Just wondering. I'm trying to sell four member accounts for just 0.0120 = $5. I need them sold ASAP. Maybe somebody with patience to mold them into hero can have them but I can't afford to keep them.

[Holdaaja]

You can put them for sale here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0
I think if you just don't ask too much for them someone will buy them.

[Spoetnik]

You can't afford to keep them ? $5 ? mmm kay then

I tried to give mine away before and no one would take it  

[Jstalk]

Maybe they just want to build their accounts for free instead of buying...
Maybe you whould lower the price.

[DomMic]

I dont think so, scammers buy them

[Iseecookies]

Its rare that people do not buy a account to for nefarious reasons and the ones with legit reasons usually make sure everyone understands why they are buying a account in public. Once you start to recognize accounts or follow default loans you start to sniff out people that will even come in here and say how bad account selling/buying is when the account they are posting with was a gain through defaulted loans or other
more criminal aspects.
New accounts can hit signature requirements soon enough that they really do not need to buy accounts.

People buy them with different reasons most will use it for signature campaigns or scamming people. Personally should I never buy a account. I don't need more then one account on this forum.

Nobody really buys those lately... mostly higher rated accounts. Maybe build them up more, and sell them for more!

[resources]

you have any potention on that account ? can you share your token ? http://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/

Some do but theres multiple reasons for someone to go buy it.

I personally think that if you are buying accounts youre only hurting the community.

[aardvark15]

Just post them for sale and see if anyone wants them.  My guess is that there isn't a big market out there to buy accounts.  It's not that hard to get an account to member level anyway.

[Fortify]

There is no real reason to trade member accounts, you should only need one. I can understand wanting to get the jump on some signature campaigns, but it is too vulnerable to scammers who can run off with lots of bitcoin based on that small reputation for sale. If you do want to sell them though, the Market Place will draw the most interest

[coin_gambler]

you should sell them in goods section or auction section, there will surely be people who want to grab it

[Zeke2345]

We can touch on the obvious negative aspects but I can see someone starting a bitcoin related company wanting a account that is established, for advertising or promoting.
What you notice in some forums are multiple new accounts being used say investor based forum. In meta you will see more alt accounts that are established to drive home a point or issue. So different places in this forum for multiple reasons have reasons for say buying a account or just using a new alt account.

I guess they do. That is the way for them to get better rank over night.

4 Member account! :O

They have some potential?
Pending Loan? Ban history? Signed message?

Sometimes you need to describe completely an account... like post quality?
Local board?

This is bad practice of buying accounts that may be hacked or stolen. You can get red trust from older members
 if they find out which are those accounts.
This is best if your doing through escrow but good escrow will never be involved in such deals..

If you buy the account and are open about it you will not receive negative ratings. Its more attempting to do it behind the scenes that makes the optics of scammer more a issue. Say I buy a account for promoting a site I created and let people know it should not be a issue as long as there is no trust to go along with the account and its noted the account was bought.

[leowonderful]

Buying accounts is dangerous stuff as the seller could lie and give you a account with -999 trust and 1 letter posts. I don't see a point in selling accounts unless you truly quit this forum, and even then I wouldn't as it'd take a few months to get to certain ranks. Profit is nearly guaranteed on most accounts because campaigns pay big moolah for member accounts and up for posting. Great for investing, but of course if the posting style of an account changes noticeably or resembles another account the sold account could be given negative trust for being sold. Shady stuff, avoid if possible.

I want to buy bitcointalk accounts which are higher ranks in able to join signature campaigns but it has a high risk and I can't afford it.
