Those prices are too high. I doubt people are really paying as much as the account pricer is telling them to.
I think account recovery used to work, but that was like a year ago, when there was much less accounts being stolen. Now there's just not enough people with access to administrative tools to handle those requests. There must be a vulnerability that they are using to reset passwords. People are saying we are about to get a new forum, but if you search that phrase you'll find threads dating 3 years back where people were saying the same thing.
Even if the accounts are sold for free, there is still fraud involved.
And the fact that such fraud can persist for more than 3 years should raise a huge red flag.
When the world is so full of scam artists, fraudsters, cheaters, etc, it does not pay to give people the benefit of doubt.
If I were in charge of the whole forum, the problem would have been solved within a month.
And I am not even a tech guy.
