Re: Selling Jr. Member Account @ $2 per account

It would take 4 hours to create literally a hundred of these accounts. Why would anyone pay for it? :S

Spam, giveaways, auction shilling etc..

But why pay $2 per account when you can create hundreds of them for free?..

How valuable is your time to you?

I get paid more than $0.50 an hour so this is a bargain....lol

How is that even relevant?

If people are actually buying useless accounts for $2 each I'd be rich by tomorrow.

captcha solver: $2 per 1000 solves
proxy list: free
c#/python/vb.net(lol) program: make it yourself, or pay some Indian $50
time: free
cost per account: 5.2 cents (marginal cost 0.2 cents)

If you were selling verified youtube accounts, $2/acct would be reasonable.

This guy understands...

Facebook accounts with 5k friends used to be worth $5-7 each, when they were actually profitable. I fail to see how an account here could be worth $2. Especially when it's clearly a fake account.

It's useless, you can make a bot to randomly visit topics for 4 hours while you do nothing, basicly no money or time lose... this is just so stupid..

You don't even have to make the bot. You just google any "blackhat" forum and there are literally hundreds of prewritten bots and scripts that do this for you at the click of a button.

If OP had half a brain and actually wanted to make some money he would bot-create 1000 accounts and then pay some developing nation Mechanical Turk workers to add profile pics, post, and make internal mini trades. Then wait until his 1k accounts have reached Full or Senior Member status and sell them at that point. Then again, most scammy douchebags are not particularly smart people.

Unfortunately, many regular folks aren't particularly smart either, which makes it possible for OP to actually make money off of this.
Let's just hope most here aren't dumb enough to pay for free stuff.
