- To scam, using the bought account's reputation - To participate in multiple giveaways (although this is forbidden now) - To fake bids in auctions - To leave fake feedback in profiles
I can't think of any legit reason.

I agree with the said above. Very unlikely someone will buy it out of legit reasons. Quite the opposite i believe...

To promote a website, or to differenciate accounts, advertise, and so on People register new accounts to scam people or promote a site, but it is not going well. So, they buy established accounts to "improve" their credibility.

If you're referring to this guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=433869.0 then I think he wanted them to participate in sig deals.

Really? Might want to lower your price a bit ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . Seems the guy who was buying them wasn't paying much.

You would or you wouldn't? I guess it's a tricky process as you're likely to get scammed. Can't imagine there's many escrows who offer their services for this haha.
