I want to find out if there is any interest in having an established account for a newbie. There is a thread in meta over stopping the sale of accounts. I want to know if there is a reason to stop allowing it. Does it really happen?
There are plenty of reasons to not allow it, but it is allowed currently.

Is this actually a thing now? Really shouldn't be allowed. Scammers will be out buying profiles with good rep to scam again. Rinse and repeat. Eugh.
Yup, it's not disallowed currently, but I agree it shouldn't be tolerated.
hilariousandco, what happened dude? this used to be you...
