I was surprised to see that buying and selling accounts is not prohibited in this forum. But looking into it I only saw offers that looked like scams (based on the red alert that flags on top of them).
I was surprised as well but it's arguable reasonable. Someone might be tired of his account and wants to dispose of it, and through marketing get to sell it. But it will be fair and also fine if the person who bought the account can maintain the quality, after all, it's the username we are talking about, not a big deal, anyone can still work it. The big deal here is to continue to add value to the forum through your quality posting. However, one could be scammed through it in my thinking, of course, every seller does not come with genuine intentions.
So I'm wondering if there truly are account sellers. Or even buyers! Is this a liquid market? How much would someone pay on average for a M/Full M/Sr. M/Hero M/L account?
Yes, they exist truly, and there are some that are even marketing it on the forum in the service section. Of course, if there is a seller, there should be a buyer, and this is what encourages them to do more in the forum. As for the amount the accounts are being sold for, I believe it depends on the sellers and the buyers. I witnessed one listing of about $45-57 for the top-level memberships, but I can't remember the package vividly anymore. Some could advertise multiple accounts at once too, which means they are farming the accounts for that purpose which I believe is very wrong.
