Re: How do you know if the account is sold or not after it was advertised for sale?
I also checked the archived secolgs between the initial post and the sale retraction post. There is no evidence of the password being changed in that time period.(I would think someone who acquired an account would at least do that, even if they got the e-mail and staked address. Why would someone leave the password the same after purchasing it, unless they want to get the account stolen back from them?)
I do not subscribe to the underlying premise, however if one views selling your account as being sufficiently untrustworthy so that you are a scammer, then the attempt of selling your account would similarly make you an attempted scammer.
We can come up with theories all day to explain why an account offered for sale in October 2016 and retracted from sale in July of 2017 didn't change their password until February 2018. I'm going to apply Occam's razor and state the most likely explanation is nutildah offered the account for sale and no one would touch it with a 10 foot pole since the account would permanently be under scrutiny for being a possible sold account.
Furthermore, I happen to believe that acting as escrow for an alt account is rather shady behavior. However, I am not going to add a negative trust comment for you, either. Does this mean that I shouldn't ever give a negative comment to someone else attempting the same act in the future? If I do, would this mean I am applying a "double standard" since I haven't added a negative trust comment for you? Of course not.
