I can pull shit out of my ass too. Perfect shit I tell you. Perfect

Everyone that us pulling out those numbers are in for a surprise if/when they try to sell. Now a days accounts dont sell for that much unless they are decked out in achievements/rare titles/mounts etc and extra items that dont come with a normal account. Sorry.

Usually anyone who pays more than 200 for an account you are asking to get scammed. People dont understand the way it works and if they dont its very easy to get screwed. Its also very very easy to screw someone over. This isnt guess work.

Also a heads up to everyone that has their accounts merged, its sold as a single account. The fact that it has 5 accounts on it doesnt mean jack. The more 85s doesnt mean more money, usually people want to transfer them to their server and at 25 (or faction change 30) a pop it adds up on top of the price paid for the account. I have accounts on playerauctions, mmobay and markee atm, so yea I know what I am talking about.

I can truly say how shocking it is to be scammed or scam someone else when buying an account. You can easily be scammed months later, after taking what you thought were the good enough security checks.

IE: Buying a new set of gamesand expacs, transferring toon(s) off the old account. Changing the name of the toon. Changing the first name on the account and keeping the last name in order to be able to transfer. Changing servers, and toon name(s).

When the Original Owner wants to come back, all they will need to do is contact Blizzard. Report the account stolen/hacked/keylogged. Blizzard will see it's being accessed by a different IP address, or look at the transfer history. See that the toon(s) have been moved.

With a quick button press and a few hours, that original owner can get that account back. All that work and you have put into it, is wasted. And the asshole not only wins the account, your money, and your hard work... They win at screwing you over.

This thread is moving in predictable directions.

Out of the 6 or so transactions I conducted when buying/selling accounts, only 1 was stolen back.

I let it go, but months later I initiated a password reset out of sheer curiosity and it was sent to my address. Converted their accounts to my own bnet account.

I was also able to find the person's twitter account and read their posts, found out their car had been stolen recently. Ah, karma is a bitch.

Aye. Threads like these usually end in a lock.

WTS multiboxing accounts... who wants to buy? <- joke, dont ban me! :p Don't tase me bro, DONT TASE ME!!!

Regardless of what I had done back 4 years ago, a lot has changed for me personally. Age and maturity among them, I don't condone selling or buying accounts. It's simply just bad taste. Far too much goes wrong, especially with how easy it is to level now. With the boost with guild experience bonus, and RAF. It's simply stupid to not level your own toons.

Considering the time I put into my EQ1 toons if I sold them at $5,000 each I would lose money. Just better to keep them for the memories. One guy still has 6 million plat on him.

I got an email from Sony once.
Basically said any accounts still in good standing, would be active for two weeks.
Kind of a trial, to get you back into the game.

For some stupid reason, I had left my rogue camped out in Sleeper's Tomb.
And well, did not have any hotkeys or anything, which resulted in a death on logging in.. could not stealth or whatever.
You can have an npc summon your corpse and rez you; just costs a component which wasn't bad.

No huge desire to return to EQ1.
But the toons are there...
