Willing to sell it to you for 0.75BTC the amount I bought it for.

So, I just want to make sure I understand. According to your logic here, if someone broke in to my house, and made off with my 60" Plasma TV, then sold it to someone, I would be expected to pay the person back who bought it from the thief? ...

No. It is more like he went to the OP's house, paid for it and didn't get a receipt. Then the seller is claiming that he did not actually sell the TV

The analogy would work a bit better if we substitute "passport" (or "ID") for "Plasma TV."

nope because there is no real reason to sell your passport however there are legit reasons to sell your bitcointalk account.

Passports are bought and sold, because valuable. By buying a passport, one could misrepresent oneself as the passport's previous owner.
Accounts are bought and sold, because valuable. By buying an account, one could misrepresent oneself as the account's previous owner.

A passport has little value outside of identifying the person who holds it & establishing a link with said person's past history.
An account has little value outside of identifying the person who holds it & establishing a link with said person's past history.

Only a person wishing to deceive--to obfuscate his real identity--would purchase a passport.
