Though... I am quite sure the account being offered is this one.

..

Aside from the perfect match of date of registration down to the minute,
1. We can see the ghost of a "G" under the censored username
2. He made 717 forum-counted posts since he made the screenshot on 16 April, 2023 [36 pages of 20 posts each, minus three posts made before the screenshot], which matched his current post count.
3. His merit count matched the profile [549 up to April, given his 550th merit happened on 09 June]

You are right, most likely this is the account that was offered to the OP. Some time ago I also researched a similar matter and came across the same evidence. There was a similar accusation here, after which I tried to contact the seller under a neutral nickname. He sent me this same screenshot, but he never managed to prove ownership of the account. Without sufficient evidence, I did not want to start the accusation process.
That was in March-April '23 if I remember correctly connected to @Alex2012 on Telegram. It is possible that I have screenshots of part of that discussion somewhere, I changed my computer in the meantime, so I would have to look for it.

What we have to clarify is that there is no evidence that the original owner of this account is selling that account. In fact, I am sure that the @Markdoy6 Telegram user is not the original owner, but a scammer who offers this account to naive people.
What if someone like him offered my account for sale, or yours holydarkness?

Here I want to invite nutildah and Little Mouse to withdraw their feedback because they have no obvious proof. Especially since the OP (@brace the mace) started a revenge hunt on this user asking Stake managers to remove them from their campaign.
