why would someone want to buy a account?Is it safe?How does it work?

- 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.

so probably not a good idea i'm guessing then to sell out?

No. I don't think so.

Yeah they are normally used to get false trust ratings and scam.

[Dux2K]

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

[marjaana771]

They would like to buy account because they want to scam people... Warning to everybody.

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.

He got banned for sending unsolicited PMs. I don't think scammers even get banned either.

Really? Might want to lower your price a bit  . Seems the guy who was buying them wasn't paying much.

[texaschainsaw54]

I would sell that. Every time I see something like that it seems like a scam.

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.
