I'm not bidding against newbis who can't publicly verify their funds.
FWIW, I'm not a newbie. I was around, and fucked by Mt.Gox. I disappeared for a long time after that, I hope you can understand why.
I can log into my old account, still have, and use the same email; but bitcointalk froze it after they went public with everyones passwords a few years back. I never came back to change my password(mainly still pissed about gox), and now although I can log into my old account it's frozen and the admins wanted me to create a new account instead. After losing MJ's guilt action due to restrictions I messaged them from my old account and asked for the restrictions to be released from this account and they were. The fact this account is label'd as brand new is a misleading and perhaps costing the sellers of this community money.
If any admins are reading this, or anyone close to one, it would be nice if my old account was unlocked, or at least this one inherited the join date (and can be switched to my REAL email).
