it's insane thinking about all the things that can be monetized. i signed up last week and i was wondering if anyone was selling their accounts, especially since you can make money by posting ads in your signature.

i'd rather let my account go inactive than sell it for $20 anyways.

Well yes, but if it was high they could be used for scamming.

it could also be used for sig ads.. but yeah, that kind of stuff compromises the community here. and it seems like bitcointalks can't do anything, short of buying the account and disabling it.

well i guess that would be speculative at this point since there are no services that offer payment for existing posts..... only for new posts.

I own the account so I should be allowed to sell it, though that doesn't make it right.

Yeah pretty much. I think theymos should prevent this from happening. For example an account (+IP) ban for the seller and the buyer.
That's ridiculous.
I'd use a proxy or VPN.

You can never stop people from using a proxy, but atleast they don't have the account they wanted to sell. You can't just allow it if people are using it for scams right?
People can always register new ones and use those.

Just wait 2 weeks your account will become a member status you only need to wait 75 seconds I guess.

It think such advertisements only attract people who are going to scam people here. Who else wants to buy and old account with a few posts? If it had many posts, the owner could earn some $ with it by advertising third parties in their signature. But that's not the case now.

Unfortunately the account's owners where so smart to not tell their accountnames. Bitcointalk should otherwise ban their accounts in my opinion.

Incorrect. The person who buys them and uses them for the wrong reasons should be banned.
