Selling Steam Accounts - Rock Superstar's Marketplace Listing

A veteran 500 Club member's Steam account clearance sale, complete with a receipt-book of happy customers vouching for him.

In the Market Place board, longtime member Rock Superstar listed a batch of old Steam accounts for sale (mostly early Counter-Strike/Half-Life titles plus a couple of oddities like Lost Planet and MW2), priced from a few dollars up to $25, with PayPal as the only accepted payment. The thread doubled as an informal reputation ledger, with a string of buyers chiming in afterward to vouch for smooth, trustworthy transactions. It's a small but telling snapshot of the era's steam-account resale scene and the trust-by-vouching system that held these marketplaces together, capped off by a few lazy bump posts to keep it alive.

Nice trade...reliable! just bought 6 digit frm this buyer! Recommended!— styless

100% Legit, brought a 6 didget off him, fast, easy, great buyer A++— Demote

EVERYTHIGN went perfect, great guy, kind, good deals, and got myself a new account, would recommend this trader to anyone.— kaossalami

CS:S Account Sale That Fizzled Out

A 7-digit Steam ID, a $5 price tag, and a deal that stalled out over trust and a broken MSN add

In this Market Place thread, VIP member ///xcF advertised a cheap Counter-Strike: Source account (tied to a low, 7-digit Steam ID) for $5 via PayPal, calling out its 'safety' because the original owner hadn't logged in for 200 days. Prospective buyer holybloody haggled over trust and payment logistics, the two tried to move to MSN to finish the deal faster, and the conversation fizzled out amid delivery errors and a skeptical aside from another member, Rock, about the classic 'buy it and change the password' account-hijack risk. A later member, Shiney, bumped the thread weeks afterward just asking if the account was still available — met with silence, as the topic ends there.

Its safee last login 200 days agoo.— ///xcF

how do i know that once i sent you the money ull just go away with it— holybloody

200 days offline.. kk but did you already change the password :)? otherwise ill buy the account, go change the password, old user gets notification and BAAAM retrieved.— Rock

6 Steam Acc's & Moar For Sell Or Trade

A guy tries to trade a pile of VAC-banned Steam accounts for a copy of MW2 — forgets the Market Place has rules

New-ish member xllent listed a batch of Steam accounts (several VAC-banned, one 'good standing') hoping to trade them plus extras for a copy of Modern Warfare 2, directing interested parties to add him off-site. The thread lasted all of four replies before other members pointed out he didn't have the required 100 posts to sell in the Market Place, and an admin locked it citing the rule verbatim. A quick, minor, almost comedic bit of forum bureaucracy in action.

YOU NEED 100 posts RETARD. YOU FAIL.— Sleeping Forest

Is there that many fucking retards that can't read these days?— hoOkz

To sell, you MUST have 100 posts! ... /closed— ap3x

Naive Member Offers Steam Account for Nonexistent 'PayPal Hack'

A member wanted a 'free PayPal hack' and offered up his Steam account and a co-leader spot in return — the forum shut him down in three replies.

A low-post-count member named paul985 posted in the Market Place asking for a supposed 'PayPal hack' that would generate free money, offering his Steam account and a co-leadership role in a clan he planned to build as payment. He almost immediately realized he hadn't met the 100-post minimum required to post in the Market Place and asked for the thread to be locked. Two more senior members, misterfopje and Kimmi, chimed in mainly to clarify that no such 'PayPal hack' exists, with Kimmi vaguely suggesting logging as an alternative. The thread is a quick, mildly amusing snapshot of naive newbie requests and the community's blunt reality-checks.

I am looking for some free paypal money. If anyone could give me a paypal hack with proof that it works, I will give them my steam acct.— paul985

I already can tell you, that a paypal hack doesn't exist..— misterfopje

A paypal hack doesn't exist, you can try logging them though.— Kimmi

Phished Steam Account Sale with a Repossession Countdown

A phished L4D2 account goes up for sale — and everyone in the thread just wants to know if it'll get yanked back first

VIP member DvS listed a Steam account (openly noted as phished) bundled with 26 other games, including Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Fallout 3, Street Fighter 4, and some Half-Life titles, asking for PayPal only. Several regulars, including Slickz and Rock Superstar, warned that L4D2 accounts obtained this way were getting instantly recovered by their original owners, sparking a back-and-forth about whether the thread should even be allowed to stand. DvS kept posting updates tracking whether the account had been reclaimed yet, while buyers like vermiLLion and EAGER lingered, waiting to see if it would survive long enough to purchase. It's a small, everyday snapshot of the Market Place grind: stolen goods, skepticism, and a slow-motion countdown to repossession.

the l4d2 accounts = instant retreive :D so dont sellem yet :D— Slickz

If you request, ill hold this account for 2 more days too see if it gets retrieved— DvS

still not retrieved yet, also added another l4d2 acc w/ left 4 dead 1, street fiter 4, tf2, fallout 3, and some half life games— DvS

Trading steam account for a modded Xbox 360 controller

One guy tried to swap his old 8-digit Steam account for a rapid-fire controller — the forum was not impressed.

In the Market Place section, longtime member 2QuiK offered up an old, non-VAC-banned Steam account (loaded with CS 1.6, CSS, Condition Zero, DoD:S, and Garry's Mod) in exchange for a modded Xbox 360 rapid-fire controller. Other members quickly pushed back on the valuation, pointing out that modded controllers were worth far more than an old 8-digit Steam account, with one member bluntly pricing the account at only $5-10. The thread fizzles out with a joking non-offer from another user who'd tossed his own controller in a pond, and no trade appears to have gone through.

Modded Controllers are like 100$— MrThirsty

Not to flame your thread or anything but if thats an 8 digit account your offering it's worth about 5-10 dollars— MrThirsty

fail lol ide do it but i threw my controller in a pond...FMW2— colorblu

prasadudwadia's Steam Shop Review Thread

The Market Place vouch thread where a Steam account dealer racked up an unbroken streak of 'legit, recommend him' reviews.

This is a User Review thread from the Market Place section, opened by member prasadudwadia inviting anyone who'd traded or bought from them to leave feedback on their Steam account trading business. Over a few months in late 2009, several members chimed in confirming smooth trades and purchases of Steam accounts (and one L4D account), all giving positive vouches. It's a classic forum-economy reputation thread, capturing the era when members bought and sold game accounts peer-to-peer and relied on public vouch threads instead of any formal escrow system.

Purchased a Steam Account from this lad. He's chill as fuck and everything went well.— nasKo

He traded me a steam account, he's a great guy. He's my friend now. Love him.— Smeckle

i bought an account from him. i went first and everything. i recommend him— Th3Knif3r

MW2 Steam Account Sales Thread

One member's whole storefront for Modern Warfare 2 Steam accounts, prices sliding from $25 down to $10 by the end.

A Market Place listing where member '1up' advertised Modern Warfare 2 Steam accounts for sale, mixing legit and phished accounts with claimed VAC-clean status. A couple of regulars (including a site admin) poked in to ask about trades and pricing, but interest was thin, and 1up kept bumping the thread over several days while dropping the price. Pretty typical low-key gray-market account trading of the era, gated by the forum's 100-post rule to sell.

I take no responsibility for what happens to your account after you purchase.— 1up

What's the cheapest one you've got?— ap3x

Selling MW2 accounts for 10 bucks now message me— 1up

[WTS] 6digit #38 games — wario123's Steam account listing

A guy tried to sell his loaded old-school Steam account for $50, and by December he'd already lost track of it

A Market Place listing where member wario123 tried to offload a low-numbered ('6 digit') Steam account bundled with 38 early Valve/indie titles, asking $50-55 with the classic PayPal-gift-and-don't-dispute routine of the era. A crew member immediately ribbed him for having to grind 20 posts just to hit the forum's 100-post trading minimum. The thread limped along with a couple of bumps, then went cold for three weeks until a VIP asked if the account was still available — by which point wario123 said no, offering two 8-digit accounts instead. A random low-post noob dropped their email in the last reply, a fittingly awkward close to a sale that never visibly closed.

20 posts today to get to 100 to be able to sell, make sure you know that guys.— vermiLLion (Confidence)

Hahaha, must be dedicated ey :)— wario123

No sorry. But i have 1x7dig 2x8 dig :)— wario123

Cixxa's 6-Digit Steam Account Shop

A guy hawking old-school 6-digit Steam accounts for pocket change, haggled down to $2 by the forum's resident lowballer

A Market Place listing from a member named cixxa selling low-numbered ('6 digit') Steam accounts bundled with CS 1.6, HL1, CSS, and an MW2 copy, priced at $15-25 via PayPal or trade. The thread devolves into classic marketplace banter — lowball offers, a tip to check out Sythe instead, and eventually a couple of vouches confirming cixxa as a legit trader after a deal went through. It closes out with other members offering to trade multi-million (RuneScape gold-adjacent slang aside, likely account-value) Half-Life 2 family accounts instead of cash.

2$.— Sleeping Forest

Dont deal with sleeping he always offers 2$ to everything, go to sythe— Niceboy233

Took some accounts off his hands.. he went first. Good trader. +rep— j00j07

zEpp's Trader Feedback Thread

Another satisfied customer becomes zEpp's 'butt buddy' — the receipts from Fkn0wned's account trading days

This is the second page of a User Review thread in the Market Place section, where forum members left feedback after buying game accounts from the trader known as zEpp. Most reviews are short and positive, praising fast delivery and trustworthiness, though one buyer noted an account was never 'retrieved' after a purchase. It's a small time capsule of the informal PayPal-based account trading economy that ran on the site, complete with the casual, joking rapport regulars had with trusted sellers.

He's now my butt buddy :) Trusted guy, walked me through the whole thing (first time buying with paypal) Will buy again ;)— Skylin3

Buyed a 2$ Account a couple of weeks ago. Never got retrieved.— awshit

Good seller. Everything went fast. Gave account details immediately after payment.— freefallen

Zeksta's CoD4 Key Trading Thread

A guy with 7 spare CoD4 keys tries to flip them for a Steam account, ends up running a mini key-shop instead

zeksta posts in the Market Place looking to trade or sell a stash of Call of Duty 4 keys, initially hoping for a Steam account with L4D2 or a batch of BF2 keys. The thread quickly turns into an impromptu sales pitch, with an anonymous donor bumping his stock to 11 keys and a trickle of members adding him on MSN to buy in. After sales slow down, zeksta asks staff to close the thread, and it gets locked on request by the mod team, capping off a small, typical slice of the forum's old key-trading economy.

this here is not a troll. this here is a serious offer. $2.— Sleeping Forest

An Annomyus Donor Has Just Gave Me 5 Keys! Keys Now In Stock: 11— zeksta

do you also have Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2 Steamkeys?— Kimmi

iluvnic's Steam Account For Sale (CS 1.6, MW2, more)

A bundled Steam account with CS 1.6, MW2, and Dragon Age: Origins — starting at $18, haggled down to $12 by the end.

A classic Market Place listing from the fkn0wned 'Steam Account' thread, where VIP member iluvnic tries to offload a Steam account loaded with Counter-Strike 1.6, Condition Zero, Modern Warfare 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. Buyer Sleeping Forest grills the seller for specifics (VAC status, screenshots, CS version), which iluvnic provides, before the price steadily drops over the following weeks from $18 to $15 to $12 as bumps go unanswered. A trade offer from regular ///xcF is turned down since iluvnic specifically wants PayPal, and the thread ends with a buyer PM'ing in response to the final price.

Pretty safe account, traded with a person who is very legit. So that means chance of retrieval is low— iluvnic

isit CS ; S or CS 1.6? Vacced? Screenshots? Digits? More specifications please.— Sleeping Forest

$12 Paypal takes this account. pm me.— iluvnic

Selling Maxed RuneScape Account (Mystik's Market Place Listing)

A self-proclaimed ex-MM hawks a maxed-out RuneScape account, then bumps it into the void for a week straight

A Market Place listing from veteran member Mystik offering a high-level RuneScape account (121 quest points, loaded members-items bank) for sale, with strict 'I don't go first' terms and MSN-only negotiation. A couple of members expressed interest and haggled over price via PM, one got warned for a low-effort 'pmub' spam bump, and the thread mostly consists of Mystik repeatedly bumping their own post over several days trying to close a sale. Classic era-appropriate RS account flipping thread, capped off with a last-minute buyer dropping their MSN in the replies.

Wont get retrieved <3— Mystik

B ump U p M y P ost— Mystik

Thank's for the spam /Warned— Mystik

Alex's Market Place Vouch Thread Sparks Minor Mod Spat

One member's vouch thread turns into an accidental mini-turf war over who gets to police the reputation system

This is a standard Market Place 'user review' thread where forum member -Alex asked others to vouch for trades they'd done with him, ranging from Steam accounts to a megaupload account and unspecified 'services' and 'logs.' A member named ninjeeking tried to shut the thread down claiming it belonged elsewhere, prompting a testy back-and-forth with -Alex before staff (Kimmi, a Smod) stepped in to confirm the thread was in the correct section. Aside from that brief flare-up, the thread collects a handful of short, positive trade endorsements typical of the site's peer-vouching trust system.

Post here if you've traded with me. Cheers.— -Alex

This actually is the right section for it. Our User Review section is made for these threads.— Kimmi

Don't say "No offence" when you obviously meant to offend him, otherwise you wouldn't have said he failed all the time!— glish

fknj00 Review — Vouch Thread for a Market Place Trader

The receipts thread where fknj00's trade partners lined up to co-sign him, jokes and all.

This was a standard Market Place vouch/review thread, started by j00j07 to collect feedback on trades done with a user known as fknj00. A handful of members (Sleeping Forest, michaelkd, f0x0928, 1up) chimed in with quick 5-star style reviews confirming fast, smooth transactions, sprinkled with typical forum locker-room humor. It's a small snapshot of the site's informal reputation system for account/goods trading rather than any drama or notable event.

Uhm.. Epically fast.. buttseckz couldnt feel any better, 5* for response.— Sleeping Forest

Trusted guy and good for booty calls ;) Has my Vouch— 1up

Great buyer, sent money quick. I would have no problems taking money from him again.— j00j07

Selling Steam Accounts - i dont hack's storefront

A guy named 'i dont hack' spent weeks hawking cheap Steam accounts by digit count, PayPal 'gift' only, no dispute allowed.

A Market Place listing thread from late October to early November 2009 where user 'i dont hack' advertised a rotating stock of old Steam accounts (categorized by how many digits were in the account ID, with games like CS, CS:S, HL2, TF2, and Orange Box attached) for a few dollars each, plus one pricier 5-digit account. The thread is mostly repeated bumps, small updates as items sold or got held for buyers, and a couple of members like KreaT!vE, 123dome, Mystery121, and lightsora poking in to ask about specific accounts or joke around. It's a classic slice of the era's account-flipping market culture, complete with the forum's 100-post rule to even be allowed to trade.

I will not go first, unless i trust you, or your on staff— i dont hack

still selling the 5 dig after 2 weeks— i dont hack

Dev1n's 5-Digit Steam Account For Sale

A 5-digit Steam account with HL1 and CS:S, $100 OBO — haggling, lowball trades, and a lonely bump into the void.

A Market Place listing where user Dev1n tries to sell an early low-digit Steam account bundled with Half-Life 1 and CS:S, asking around $100 USD (later 'lowered' to the same $100) and open to trades. A few members chime in on fair pricing, one offers a lowball cash-plus-item counter, and a couple of newer/low-post members try to jump in despite the forum's 100-post Market Place requirement, prompting a moderator warning about missing review-thread links. The thread fizzles out with Dev1n still bumping it, still looking for a buyer.

People pay that much for a 4 digit with those kind of games.— vermiLLion

40 CASH; a 6 digit HL2 Banned; and a handshake...?— owninandshit

I'm only trading with people who have 100+ posts or VIP/1k. Still looking as well— Dev1n

mcm Tries to Sell His Steam Account, Gets Shut Down in 5 Posts

Guy lists his Steam account (MW2! Orange Box! Portal!) for sale — mods lock it before the bidding even gets past $15

Member 'mcm' posted his personal Steam account for sale in the Market Place, listing its game library (Half-Life series, Orange Box, CS:S, MW2, TF2, Garry's Mod) and asking for bids. A couple of replies followed — one lowballing the expected value, one telling him to read the rules, and 'marz' opening the bidding at $15 — before staff smod Kimmi locked the thread for violating the Market Place's 100-post minimum requirement for trading threads. A quick, minor example of the forum's strict trade-rule enforcement in action.

You'll only get a few dollars mate, legit or not legit, doesn't make a difference here.— inSpired

ill start it off with $15— marz

Porn Accounts Sale — Brazzers/RealityKings/BangBros bulk seller thread

One member turned dead porn logins into a whole side hustle, complete with a two-week 'warranty' and vouches.

A Market Place listing from member 3voLuT1oN advertising bulk access accounts for Brazzers, RealityKings, WatchMyGF, BangBros, and other adult sites, priced via MSN contact rather than posted openly. The seller offered a limited replacement guarantee for accounts that got banned/expired but explicitly ruled out refunds. A couple of regulars (Th3Knif3r, Niceboy233) chimed in with quick vouches confirming smooth trades, and other members asked about trading Steam accounts or specific site access before the thread trailed off with a bump and a lighthearted 'i want pornzor' reply.

Awesome, trade went smooth and he gave me +1 account :D He has my Vouch— Th3Knif3r

Big vouch for this guy! No problems at all. Will do business again :)— Niceboy233

woohoo. added i want pornzor!— cixxa

Want to Buy Something for $5

A guy accidentally paypal'd himself $5 and the marketplace tried to auction off everything from crypters to... other services.

Silent82 posted a lighthearted Market Place thread asking for offers on how to spend a stray $5 sitting in an unverified PayPal account he couldn't transfer back. Responses ranged from joke offers to a genuine suggestion to buy a FUD crypter, with Silent82 asking about antivirus detection rates. The thread is a small, goofy snapshot of the forum's Market Place culture, mixing crude humor with cheat-scene shoptalk.

e-Blow Job $4.99— XpliciteR

vid of me having a wank, priceless— -Alex

this shit will make you as straight as a banana,— -Alex

Selling 5 Digit Steam Account

An old-school low-digit Steam ID goes up for sale — asking $50+, buyers lining up in the replies

Longtime member Rock Superstar listed a two-year-old, never-used 5-digit SteamID account (bundled with classic Half-Life/CS titles) for sale in the Market Place, asking $50+ via PayPal. VIP member hoOkz chimed in with a warning about accounts getting disabled after resale, which Rock Superstar brushed off citing his own experience. Several members dropped contact info to inquire, and the thread trickled on for over a month with periodic bumps before ending inconclusively.

It's 100% legit and wont get disabled or retrieved by another user.— Rock Superstar

Good chance this will get disabled soon as the buyer changes the password.— hoOkz

Ive been selling steam accounts for years and i know that this account WONT get disabled.— Rock Superstar

Please read. — Market Place shop shutdown, Feb 2010

Founder TuxifieD shuts down every shop in the Market Place in one swoop over rule-breaking

A brief but telling housekeeping thread from Fkn0wned's Market Place, where founder TuxifieD announces he's closed all member shops because too many people were ignoring the posting rules (notably the 100-post minimum to sell/trade). Members like Dev1n and tony979 chime in asking to have their shops reopened or expressing frustration at being locked out by the post-count requirement. It's a small, mundane slice of forum admin life, but it captures the everyday friction between a founder trying to keep the Market Place orderly and members eager to trade/sell.

Due to the fact that no one seems to be able to read the rules, I have closed all the shops.— TuxifieD

I read the rules and have a steam account i want to trade but i cant due to the 100 post rule.— tony979

Selling Level 102 Runescape Account

A dusty RS account listing where a smod demands proof before you even think about buying.

A member named h4voCK posted a Market Place listing to sell an old, long-untouched level 102 Runescape account, backing it up with a screenshot of the stats. Forum smod PopTart pushed back, asking for more detail (like bank offenses), and h4voCK clarified the account was clean with no offenses, just full of rare and members-only items. A newer member, cixxa, showed up a bit later expressing interest. It's a small, quintessential slice of the old game-account trading scene that used to run through these Market Place boards.

Post more then just that :) Bank Offenses— PopTart

No offences, and I have relatively no money whatsoever. Bank is full of rare instances and member items, will post in a bit.— h4voCK

yo. add [email protected] i am interested.— cixxa

The 65-Game Steam Account Nobody Wanted (For $20 or Best Offer)

One guy tried to flip a phished Steam library stacked with 65 games — and got laughed down to a $5 lowball.

A Market Place listing from user 1up offering a massive Steam account (65+ games spanning Half-Life, Portal, GTA IV, Mass Effect, and a ton of Valve/indie classics) for $20 or best offer. The account was openly disclosed as phished, VAC-clean, and held for two months, with the usual 'no responsibility after purchase' disclaimer typical of the site's account-trading culture. The thread fizzles out fast — a lowball $5 offer, a sarcastic retort from the seller, and a one-word laugh from a bystander before it dies with no sale.

Ridiculous Steam account for sale couldn't even take a picture cause games go off the screen.— 1up

$5— Th3Knif3r

65 games for 5 bucks thats way too much money you might need it.— 1up

[SOLD] Lifetime Platinum Megaupload Account Auction

A phished Megaupload Platinum account, auctioned off for $20 to the highest MSN bidder — thread closed by request.

A Market Place listing from February 2010 where user j00j07 auctioned off a 'Lifetime Platinum Megaupload' account, openly admitted to be phished, taking bids via PayPal 'gift' payments to dodge disputes. A short bidding war played out between JuMx and Th3Knif3r, with the buyout price dropping from $40 to $25 before Th3Knif3r's $20 bid apparently won. The seller requested the thread be closed once the deal was done, and staff member PopTart obliged — a small, matter-of-fact snapshot of the casual account-trading hustle that ran through the Market Place board.

Shiney's Vouch Thread

The receipts thread for a VIP trader who dealt in keys, hacks, and MegaUpload accounts — nobody ever came back with a complaint.

This is a Market Place 'User Review' thread, essentially a vouch/feedback page for a VIP member named Shiney. Over about seven months (mid-2009 into early 2010), a string of other members chimed in confirming smooth deals — swaps involving game keys, a hack, Steam accounts, an MSDN invite, and a MegaUpload lifetime account. It reads like a trust ledger typical of the era's gaming/cheat scene market boards, where reputation was built one 'legit, would deal again' post at a time. No drama here — just a clean, glowing track record.

Please leave your wonderful reviews~ <3— Shiney

Afteryou's SystemLink Shop

A guy called 'GoD of Porn' sold MW2/CoD4 account recovery services and swore he wasn't a scammer

Long-time member Afteryou (5000-post club) opened a paid service thread offering to do account 'recovery' work for MW2 and Call of Duty 4 players without a JTAG, insisting up front he wasn't a scammer and refusing to provide proof. The thread meandered through a mod correcting its board placement, a member (f0wh) fumbling a half-written vouch/small-talk post and immediately regretting it, and another user unable to PM the seller. It closes out with a satisfied customer, m1sterfopje, giving a casual recommendation and mentioning he paid $15 for the service.

I'm no scammer there is no reason to scam its pitiful and childish.— Afteryou

Wow I overwrote a post that could have been very simple, I hate myself now :(— f0wh

High recommend! 15 minutes and got all things as said above but the price was $15— m1sterfopje

Cafe Account for Sale (Market Place, Dec 2009)

One member tries to flip a mystery 'cafe account' — and shoots down a lowball $50 offer for having too few forum posts.

A short-lived Market Place listing from December 2009 where longtime member hitmanre tried to sell/trade a 'cafe account' he'd held for about five weeks, claiming it was unlikely to be reclaimed. VIP member Jonesyyf jokingly offered his life for it, while a lower-post-count member's $50 bid got publicly dismissed for not being 'trustworthy' enough. The thread is a small snapshot of the forum's account/item trading culture and its 100-post Market Place rule.

as the title says...cafe account, i had it for like 5 weeks, its very higly unlikely that it is gonna be taken back— hitmanre

Give you my life?— Jonesyyf

real offers please...ftwimchaldo ur only a 19 poster why would i trust u?— hitmanre

Selling 7Dig HL1|HL2|MW2 Account

A 2-year vet tries to offload a bundled Steam account (HL1/HL2/MW2 digital copies) in the Market Place.

A short Market Place listing from user Sp4wN, offering a game account/copies covering Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and Modern Warfare 2 ('7Dig' bundle). The post is bare-bones: just a screenshot, MSN contact, and a note about the account's age and VAC status, typical of the forum's account-trading threads. The surrounding page shows the site's Market Place rules requiring 100+ posts to sell, plus era-typical ad clutter (a bodybuilding supplement giveaway banner) and a stray 'Hide hack is working now' status note, capturing the low-effort classifieds vibe of the board.

Had account for 2 years.— Sp4wN

Vac: In good standing— Sp4wN

Selling RapidShare & Steam Accounts (Market Place)

Steam and RapidShare accounts, cheap, no questions asked — classic Fkn0wned Market Place hustle.

A VIP member named 1up posted a Market Place listing hawking RapidShare and Steam accounts (Modern Warfare, CSS, L4D, low-digit accounts), plugging his separate 'selling steams' thread alongside it. A quick exchange followed where fellow member bl1ss questioned whether the accounts were phished, with albator vouching that they were legit since the seller had access to the account's email. The thread is short, only four posts, ending with 1up bumping his own listing days later. It's a small but representative snapshot of the informal account-trading economy that ran through the forum's Market Place section.

are these phished or what?— bl1ss

Don't care about that. He got the mail so he unlock the account and he changes settings ;) It's safe.— albator

Newbie Ignores 100-Post Rule, Gets Called Out in Market Place

New guy tries to trade before hitting 100 posts, gets clowned in two replies flat

A brand-new member with only 10 posts posted in the Market Place looking to trade or acquire a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare key for a 7digital account, apparently without reading the board's 100-post minimum requirement for trading threads. A veteran [FkN] Crew member immediately called out the rule violation, and the thread's own auto-generated warn note mockingly flagged the poster as needing to 'learn how to read the rules.' A tiny, forgettable exchange, but a perfect little snapshot of Market Place gatekeeping culture circa 2009.

I need to learn how to read the rules— rawrre (auto warn note)

Trade a Demonoid Invite for a Jordan Flight Club Code

tracyfan_1 wanted to swap a golden-ticket Demonoid invite for... sneaker forum access

A brief 2010 Market Place listing where longtime member tracyfan_1 offered to trade a coveted Demonoid invitation code for an invite to the Jordan Flight Club forum. The thread got exactly one reply, from newer member cixxa, who simply asked what a 'Jordan Flight Club' invitation even was — and the trade appears to have died right there. A small, quiet snapshot of the era when invite-only tracker codes and hyped-up sneaker forums were both hot underground currency.

what is a "jordan flight club" invatation?— cixxa

MegaUpload Lifetime Platinum Account for Sale

A member hawks a phished MegaUpload Platinum account for cash — bidding starts at $25.

A quick Market Place listing where user '1up' tried to sell a MegaUpload Lifetime Platinum account, openly noting it had been phished a few months prior. Two members tossed out lowball offers of $25 and $30 (one jokingly citing shared Persian heritage), the seller bumped it once, and a moderator eventually closed the thread on request. A small, forgettable transaction snapshot typical of the forum's Market Place section.

This account was phished about 3 months ago. A lifetime platinum goes for around $200.00 on megaupload.com so make me a decent offer....— 1up

One member's lifetime Megaupload account, up for trade for a CoD4 key — with a full reputation-based haggling ritual attached.

A Market Place classifieds thread from December 2009 where user mutantcookie offered to trade a lifetime Megaupload premium account (18k points) specifically for a legit CoD4: Modern Warfare key or Steam account. The post laid out a whole reputation-based trust system for who goes first in the trade, and directed interested parties to add him on MSN only after posting in-thread. A handful of members (mcm, hitmanre, Shiney) chimed in with simple 'added' replies, a mod (ap3x) had to clean up a spam post, and mutantcookie closed the thread out a week and a half later confirming the trade was done.

Lower rep goes first, higher rep goes last— mutantcookie

mod please close trade done— mutantcookie

Selling my WOW account (Nossel the Undead Death Knight)

A level 80 Death Knight, some gold, and a lowball roast — classic 2009 Market Place energy.

killerkid2230 listed his World of Warcraft account for sale in the Fkn0wned Market Place, featuring a heavily-geared level 80 Undead Death Knight main plus a level 64 Shaman and level 21 Priest alt, complete with an Armory link, gold total, and epic mounts. A handful of members poked around with lowball questions and trade offers (including one asking to swap a Steam account), while the thread ends with a regular bluntly clowning the DK's gear as overrated. It's a small, mundane slice of the forum's account-trading culture rather than a dramatic event, but it captures the casual buy/sell/roast rhythm of the era.

I will accept anything for it, preferably money though. Please make an offer for my account. Note: I will NOT go first.— killerkid2230

Your spec is shitty, no offense. One 245 piece is not well-geared, I'd be surprised if you could get into a ony10.— NoNamE!

Buying 5 or 4 Digit Steam Accounts

A guy wants a rare low-digit Steam account, VAC clean, league clean, CS 1.6 only — cash in hand.

A short Market Place listing from cixxa looking to buy old-school low-digit Steam accounts (a coveted status symbol back then) for cash, specifying they had to be VAC clean, league clean, and running Counter-Strike 1.6. One reply offers a 5-digit account but admits it's VAC banned on Source games, killing the deal. A regular, Rock Superstar, chimes in linking a related steam account thread and mentioning trying to reach cixxa on MSN. Classic tiny transactional thread typical of the forum's Market Place section, gated behind a 100-post minimum to sell.

TUXIFIED ALLOWED ME TO POST THIS!!!— cixxa

I have 5 digit cs 1.6 non banned with 17 games but VAC banned for source games and i dont know about league history ?— nigkeh

Buying high-dig CSS

EAGER's cashing out his PayPal for a whopping $4.30 to buy a Counter-Strike: Source account

A quick Market Place post from EAGER, offering the last $4.30 in his PayPal (which he was closing) to buy a low-digit, non-VAC'd CSS account before it disappeared for good. A couple of members chimed in pointing him toward another user's account thread and offering an 8-digit account with CSS and DOD:S bundled in. Classic tiny-budget forum trading thread, low-effort but of its time.

I'm going to close my PayPal account, so i'm going to use the USD$4.30 I have in there to buy an account with CSS.— EAGER

i have a 8dig with css & dod:s i believe pm me.— marz

Steam Account for Sale (Locked in Under an Hour)

One post, one price, one facedesk — a Market Place listing that died almost as fast as it was born.

A brand-new member named sonicboom, with just a single post to their name, tried to sell a Steam account for $69-79 in the Fkn0wned Market Place. The listing ignored the board's well-known 100-post minimum requirement for sellers, and within about an hour admin ap3x locked the thread with a sarcastic 'facedesk' image macro. A quick, minor snapshot of how tightly the Market Place rules were enforced.

Password will be given after purchase. I will not be holding responsibility after you have bought my account.— sonicboom

This topic has been closed by a moderator(me). Reason: [facedesk image]— ap3x

Boselect's Trade Feedback Thread

One member's homemade reputation ledger from the fkn0wned Market Place trading days.

A user review thread started by member 'boselect' in the Market Place section, inviting anyone who had traded with them to leave feedback on how it went. Boselect kicks it off by referencing a past trade (selling a Steam account) with a member called 'sinista', which he says went well. It's a small, low-key thread typical of the era's trust-building trade feedback system, sitting alongside the ever-present Anabolic Innovations ad banner and giveaway spam that cluttered the site.

anybody whos traded with me. post how it went in here.— boselect

last people i remember trading with sinista (sold him a steam), went well.— boselect

2 5-Digit Steam Accounts On Auction

Two low-numbered Steam IDs hit the auction block for as little as $5 minimum bid.

A Market Place thread where longtime member SnEaKyJoKER auctioned off two old low-digit Steam accounts bundled with HL1 and L4D games, starting bids at 50 with a $5 minimum. Fellow member ap3x asked for clarification on the bidding terms before the thread trails off. A routine but characteristic slice of the site's account-trading economy, gated behind the forum's 100-post minimum rule to curb scam accounts.

Here we go again..— SnEaKyJoKER

What's minimum bids?— ap3x

JAB's Steam Shop [Legit 5/6/8 Digits]

Old Steam accounts with low-digit IDs, HL1 game bundles, and PayPal 'gift' payments — a snapshot of the early Steam resale hustle.

A Market Place listing from user jab2000 advertising a batch of secondhand Steam accounts, priced $2-$35 depending on the age/digit-length of the account ID and which old-school Half-Life-era games came bundled. The thread lays out fkn0wned's 100-post rule for sellers, jab2000's account-securing instructions for buyers, and payment-via-PayPal-as-gift terms typical of the era's under-the-radar digital goods trade. A handful of low-post-count members chime in over the following weeks to say they've added the seller on IM or ask about specific accounts, giving it a quiet, transactional vibe rather than dramatic back-and-forth.

ALL ACCOUNTS ARE SOLD AS SEEN - IF THE ACCOUNT GETS BANNED/RECOVERED IT IS SOLELY YOUR FAULT AND I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANOTHER FOR FREE.— jab2000

got any low digit accounts with cal history?— colorblu

Selling a VAC2-banned 27-game Steam account

A VAC-banned Steam account from 2004, stacked with 27 games, up for grabs for basically pocket change

Member zanderdanmark posted a Market Place listing offering an old (2004-era) Steam account that had been VAC2 banned, still bundled with 27 games including the original Half-Life catalog, CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, and Garry's Mod. He wasn't asking for much — around $10 or a trade for a clean CS:S account — noting he didn't really need it anymore. A pretty mundane, low-stakes classifieds post typical of the forum's Market Place section, capturing that early-2010s era when banned/loaded Steam accounts were casually flipped for a few bucks.

Good if ur a cs 1.6 player :)— zanderdanmark

I know its not worth that much but i dont need it.— zanderdanmark

4 Digit Steam Account — For Sale by XpliciteR

A low-numbered Steam ID with just Half-Life 1 on it, listed for $140 back in 2009 — the good old days of buying internet clout by the digit.

A VIP member named XpliciteR posted in the Market Place forum offering to sell an old, low-numbered ('4 digit') Steam account carrying only the HL1 package, asking $140 USD via PayPal and providing MSN contact for buyers. It's a snapshot of the era when early Steam account numbers were prized as status symbols and forum marketplaces doubled as informal trading posts, complete with strict 100-post rules to curb scams. A simple, single-post listing with no visible replies or bidding drama captured in this archive.

Not going first, Paypal only. I'm thinking $140 USD.— XpliciteR

Trade TF2 For CSS

One guy wanted to swap his TF2 account for CSS, and the whole negotiation lasted three posts.

A quick, low-key Market Place listing from May 2010 where user Unbeliveable offered his Team Fortress 2 account in trade for a Counter-Strike: Source account. hitmanre countered with an Orange Box plus Audiosurf offer, and Unbeliveable agreed on condition the account be VAC clean and unverified. A tiny, mundane slice of the site's game-account trading economy, preserved as-is in the archive.

Trading TF2 acc with CSS.Nao.— Unbeliveable

ill trade u orangebox+audiosurf?— hitmanre

Well ok.Has to be vac clean and unverified.— Unbeliveable

Selling LockerZ Accounts~ PayPal |Z-Listers| |Cheap| |Prizes|

A guy tried to sell LockerZ points accounts without enough posts, and the mods slammed the gavel in under three minutes.

A member named kfirrulz posted a Market Place listing offering to sell LockerZ reward-site accounts (ranging from 500 to 2000+ points) for PayPal, pre-emptively admitting he didn't meet the forum's 100-post minimum to sell but arguing his long membership should count. Another member questioned whether the point totals shown could be faked with browser tools. Within minutes, staff member vermiLLion locked the thread for violating the Market Place's posting requirement, delivering a boilerplate rule-enforcement notice. It's a quick, small snapshot of the forum's strict market rules and fast moderation on rule-breaking sales threads.

I might not have 100 posts but im your member for a VERY long time so I suppose I am allowed to sell here.— kfirrulz

U could fake this with javascripts or firebug ?— zanderdanmark

Read the rules next time please. You need 100 or more posts to sell in the marketplace. Get active!— vermiLLion

Selling Microsoft Windows Keys

bl1ss is hawking Windows and Office keys straight off an MSDN account, $3 a pop

A short Market Place listing from December 2009 where VIP member bl1ss offered Windows 7/Vista/XP and Office 2007 keys for $3 each, cheaper in bulk, with a download link thrown in after purchase. A couple members asked if it was legit, and it came out that the keys were sourced from an MSDN subscription. The thread fizzled out after five replies with no confirmed sales visible.

Im selling everything.. Office 2007, Windows 7, windows vista, XP (all versions of the OS's).— bl1ss

He gets it from a MSDN account.— linkkrw

Yes they are taken from an MDSN account.— bl1ss

Trading Two Steam Accounts for a 7-Digit Account

Two Steam accounts, one low-digit dream — classic Market Place bait that fizzled fast.

A Market Place listing where user sunshinehorror offered up two Steam accounts (an 11-million and a 31-million numbered account, stacked with games like CSS, L4D2, 1.6, DOD, and HL2 titles) in hopes of trading both for a single coveted 7-digit account. An [FkN] admin, ap3x, swooped in mainly to relocate the thread to the correct subforum and point to the market rules. The OP thanked the mod and tried a lone bump, but the thread shows no further bites — a quiet, unremarkable trade attempt typical of the Market Place grind.

Please read this. Moved to correct forum.— ap3x

hey thanks for moving it for me. BUMPS!— sunshinehorror

[Buy] Counter-Strike 1.6 steam-nonsteam attacker

New guy asks to buy a server-nuking tool, gets roasted and shut down in five replies flat.

A brand-new member with only two posts tried to buy a Counter-Strike 1.6 'flooder/attacker' tool to take down game servers, violating the Market Place's 100-post minimum requirement right out of the gate. Veteran member f0wh shot down the request as unrealistic and pointed him toward a botnet setup elsewhere instead, while the OP's own post (self-deprecating and rude in the same breath) didn't help his case. Admin ap3x locked the thread almost immediately, citing f0wh's reasoning as justification.

I can pay for this programm [counter-strike 1.6 flooder/attacker, in order to rip any server]— Hotman

I don't think an effective flooder that you're looking for even exist, unless you mean a direct ddos with bots.— f0wh

If you're looking for a botnet + irc server setup, go to hackforums.net and make this thread.— f0wh

15$ Level 56 Hunter Night Elf WoW Account for Sale

A dusty WoW account listing for fifteen bucks, complete with a nerd-jab and a bot confession.

A Market Place listing from longtime member ABACABB offering a level 56 Night Elf hunter account, claiming original ownership and a cheap $15 price tag. The thread quickly derails from the sale itself into a couple of one-liners about WoW being for nerds and running bots on the account. Typical low-stakes account trading thread from the forum's Market Place section, gated behind the 100-post rule to sell.

i have a 56 hunter thats collecting (used to raf a toon on main account) 15$ super cheap!— ABACABB

World of Warcraft is a game for nerds!— cixxa

ikr^^ I just like to run bots with it :p— smexy123
