Selling CafeCert! — Valve Cyber Café Reseller Thread Implodes
A guy tries to sell cracked Steam Cyber Café licenses as the ultimate VAC-dodge, and the thread eats itself.
User ENLIGHTEND advertised 'Valve Cyber Café' licenses for $40 each, pitching them as a way to access every Steam game and supposedly dodge VAC bans by cycling random Steam IDs. Other members quickly questioned its legitimacy, pointed out trading rules (100 posts required), and corrected claims about which games were included. The thread devolved into arguments with InzaneHacker furiously accusing the seller and others of 'leaking' a cracked tool that was getting detected in real time, while others defended it as just for sharing with friends.
Good fucking work fucking idiots, its allready detected... God I HATE fucking leakers!!! GO DIE IN HELL!!!— InzaneHacker
Hmm Please don't trade with him, it seems like its a crack!— banak
This is srsly stupid... More you "leake" it, the more it gets detected...— InzaneHacker
Low Digit Steam Accounts - Why Are They So Wanted?
The old forum FAQ that finally explained why a tiny Steam ID number was worth actual cash.
A short explainer thread posted by admin Shifty in The Market Place, made because newbies kept asking the same question in the trading sections. Shifty breaks down why low-digit Steam accounts (an early sign of account age/rarity) commanded higher prices and were even flipped on eBay for hundreds of dollars, comparing a short account ID to a long one as an example. It reads as a piece of forum housekeeping meant to cut down repeat questions rather than a discussion, giving a small window into the early Steam account trading economy of the era.
The reason low digit steam accounts are so precious or wanted by people for a bigger price is because the lower the digit the longer the steam account has been out.— Shifty.
I hope joo understandZ.— Shifty.
Rapidshare Accounts For Sale!!!
A guy with 3 posts tries to sell 20 Rapidshare accounts, gets called a scammer by page two
A low-post-count member named krux tries to sell bundles of Rapidshare premium accounts for cash and MSN contact, quickly running afoul of forum trading rules (100-post minimum for real-item trades). Another member, xrefused1007, accuses him of previously selling disabled/phished Steam accounts, sparking a back-and-forth accusation of lying and reselling. Established members and staff (Sonikk, pyeman) pile on to warn people off, noting the seller ignored the rules and gave no account details, while others jokingly defend krux. The thread has the classic Market Place vibe of a sketchy account-selling offer getting shut down by community skepticism.
Don't trust this guy. He sold me steam accounts that 1 day after were disabled.— xrefused1007
No-one buy from this guy.. He didnt even read the rules before he posted... AND they are jacked/hacked/phished..— Sonikk
The guy has 3 posts hes not aloud to be selling anything anyways. GG, thread's probably gonna be closed soon.— Legit_Hacks
VIP at Source Industries For One Month - 3,500 Points
A month of cheat-site VIP, up for grabs for the price of 3,500 forum points
TuxifieD, the site owner, posted an offer in The Market Place trading section: a one-month VIP membership to Source Industries (a CS:S cheat provider) available for 3,500 forum points, with interested members told to PM or reply. A handful of regulars chimed in — one recalling a past purchase gone wrong when the site went down before delivery, another eager to save up points, and a third asking for clarification on how the points-for-VIP exchange actually worked. It's a small, everyday snapshot of the forum's internal point economy and its ties to third-party cheat vendors.
im interested i bought it once but the next day the site went down or something and i never got my hacks but im still interested— raser uky
Oh shit what a bargain. I'll be saving up my points = ].— nerfmagez
So are you saying that every 3,500 posts we get one month of a hack?— TheLoneMan
Steam Account Offered in Trade for a Private HL2 Hack
One member offered up his whole Steam account just to get a custom aimbot/wallhack made to order.
In late 2007, member deathbird posted in The Market Place offering his Steam account as payment to anyone willing to build him a private cheat for the Half-Life 2 engine, specifically for CS 1.6. He wanted an aimbot and wallhack combo with a 'go legit' toggle key, referencing a known public hack ('ballin's hack') as his benchmark for style. A couple of other members, including banned regulars jacal and Killer-k, poked in to ask what features he actually wanted, but the thread trails off without a clear deal being struck.
I really enjoy ballin's hack right now, well the fact that I can press a key to go legit, so I can turn on the wall, watch, then turn it right bk off so i look more legit.— deathbird
what do you want in the hack aimbot?? wallhack?? spin what??— jacal
Trading a VAC-Banned CSS Account (and a 'Hack' Subscription) for a Clean One
Guy tries to trade his banned CS:S account plus a cheat sub for a clean 'legit' one — and people are still begging for it two months later.
A member named r3skyline posted in The Market Place looking to swap his VAC-banned Counter-Strike: Source account for a clean, unbanned one, throwing in a cheat product subscription as part of the deal since he claimed to be 'going legit.' He got at least one eager reply, gave the deal away to the first responder, and then had to post again over a month later begging people to stop messaging him because it was long gone. Another member closed out the thread mocking the stragglers still pestering him for the deal months after it ended.
hi, i would like to get an unbanned counter strike source account, non stolen totally legit.— r3skyline
GONE SO PLZ STOP BUGGING ME!— r3skyline
wow 2 oct until now.. ppl still pming u? lol bunch of idiots ..— haha.1
[REQUEST] Portal or TF2, 400 points
A guy tries to buy Portal or TF2 for pocket change and gets laughed out of the Market Place — then someone actually takes the deal.
In this October 2007 Market Place thread, member jacal wanted to buy a Steam account with Portal or Team Fortress 2 for a lowball offer of 400 forum points. Regulars quickly pointed out the math didn't add up, since the games cost around $40 and points were valued at roughly $10 per 1000. After some back-and-forth ribbing about being 'screwed' and a tangent about someone finishing Portal in four hours, AcidViper stepped in at the end and agreed to the 400-point price, closing out the haggle.
u wont get 1 for that price portal and tf2 is like $40 and it costs $10 for 1k points so try 4k points lol— pyeman
looks like your screwed— bragamuffin
Ok 400 right here. Pm me.— AcidViper
Steam Account (w/ GMOD) for RuneScape Trade — Fizzles Out
A brand new member wanted to swap his whole Steam library for a high-level RuneScape account, and the regulars were not impressed.
A low-post-count member named soldja3678 posted in The Market Place offering a Steam account loaded with games including Garry's Mod, explicitly seeking high-level RuneScape or MapleStory accounts in trade and insisting an 'official middleman' be used. The thread drew a handful of tentative RuneScape offers (levels ranging from 70 to 87) but also skepticism from established members questioning the poster's post count and trustworthiness, plus a reminder that deals were supposed to go through the site's middleman system rather than off-forum. It fizzles out without any confirmed trade being recorded.
i M CURRENTLY SELLING A STEAM ACCOUNT WITH ALL STEAM GAMES ON IT INC gmod— soldja3678
5 posts, don't trust him yet people, he's new. You need 100 posts.— rnie
Don't make offers out of this website, use the middle man set up.— havok123
buying steam account
Fizzer offers 100+ points for a CS:S Steam account — and gets haggled, ghosted, and trolled for his trouble.
A straightforward Market Place haggling thread from October 2007: user fizzer wants to buy a Steam account with Counter-Strike: Source, offering forum 'points' as currency. Uncensor3d offers a VAC-banned account (rejected), jacal negotiates a clean account up to 200 points but backs out claiming it sold elsewhere, and Jack Daniels floats a cash trade. The thread devolves into a running joke about pointless one-word replies ('nah'), with poacher dropping in late to hawk a batch of Steam accounts for cash via PayPal. Pure everyday grey-market trading culture of the site, low stakes but a good snapshot of the points-economy and account-flipping scene.
dont do funny shit like 300+— fizzer
WOW that has to be the most usless post i have seen on this site LOL this has to be the second— jacal
if it was vac banned maby but it ain't so soz— jacal
Steam Account for 350 Fkn Points
A brand-new '1000 Club' member tries to flip a bare Steam account for site points — and gets immediately roasted for his post count.
In this Market Place listing, user xrefused1007 offers a Steam account (holding CS:S, Half-Life 2, and Half-Life: Lost Coast) for 350 forum points, proudly noting the buyer would be its first-ever user. Regulars quickly needle him for having a '1000 Club' title with barely any posts, sparking a light back-and-forth about the points system and forum status symbols. A short bidding war breaks out with offers of 250 and then 300 points before minitureman claims it and jokingly tells an admin to close the thread, while another user tries to route the deal through Xfire instead.
Oh, and by the way...Person who gets it will be the first ever to use it— xrefused1007
lol 1000k members thing and only 10 posts!! lol why would u buy it— fizzer
its mine now admin please close— minitureman
CS 1.6 Account Trade Turns Impromptu Bidding War
A used CS 1.6 account turns into a spontaneous bidding war until someone points out it should've been an auction thread all along.
In Fkn0wned's Market Place, user orangespwnz put up a used, unbanned CS 1.6 Steam account for trade, hoping for 200+ 'fkn points' or a Runescape premium account with time left on it. What started as a straightforward sale devolved into an informal bidding war between AcidViper, Famousss, and minitureman, with offers climbing from 100 up past 300 points before orangespwnz called it out as effectively an auction and redirected everyone to a proper auction thread. A small, mundane but very of-its-era slice of the site's Steam account trading culture.
CS 1.6 UNBANNED steam account. Hoping for 200+ fkn points.— orangespwnz
You're in the lead, the new thread is here because this was supposed to be an auction.— orangespwnz
Looking to buy a CS 1.6 account via PayPal
A newbie wants to buy a CS 1.6 account, but nobody on the thread has the reputation to sell him one.
A brand-new member on The Market Place board posts a short want-ad looking to purchase a Counter-Strike 1.6 account, price included, but insists on dealing only with 'respected members.' A low-post-count member offers to sell for $5-8, and gets shot down for not meeting the reputation bar. A small, mundane slice of the forum's account-trading economy and its informal trust hierarchy.
i will only deal with people that are respected members— hideout
5-8 dollars and 34 posts doesnt qualify you as a respeted member— hideout
$10 Steam Accounts (Christmas Sale)
A Steam account clearance sale that got shut down for breaking the trade rules
A low-post-count member, AC KILLA, tried to offload a batch of Steam accounts loaded with Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, and other early Source-engine titles for $10 apiece via PayPal, framing it as a holiday sale. Several accounts were already marked SOLD before another member pointed out he didn't meet the forum's 100-post minimum to trade, ending the thread almost as soon as it began. A small, mundane snapshot of the Market Place's rules being enforced in real time.
There all on sale its Christmas— AC KILLA
You must have 100 posts to trade— typeusernamehere
oh k sry— AC KILLA
Rapidshare Account for Trade
A guy with a spare RapidShare account tries to trade it for a Steam CS account — and gets called out for skipping the post-count rules.
A low-key trade thread from late 2007 on Gametration/Fkn0wned's Market Place board, where a member offers a RapidShare account in exchange for a Steam account with CS 1.6 or Source. Another member points out he's breaking forum rules by posting in the trading section without enough posts, and a SuperMod (NoNamE!, the site's 'mascot') chimes in quoting the callout. A tiny, mundane slice of the marketplace's day-to-day moderation grind.
i gotta rapidshare account i wanna trade for a steam account that has cs 1.6 and/or source .. please lemme know .. n sorry if im doing this wrong :-s— azerone
i kno im also a noob but i kno u need at least 100 posts to start a tread in this section— 4Saken
BangBros & RealityKings Passes for Sale
A member hawks $4 adult-site logins to the trading forum — because 2008 forum economics were wild like that.
In the Market Place subforum, user 'laptops' advertised paid access passes to adult sites BangBros and RealityKings, claiming a friend could generate them and sell for $4 USD via PayPal. The pitch included customizable usernames and screenshots of the sites' content. A couple of members responded, with one simply asking how long the passes would last before the thread trails off.
I trust him completly and he will not rip you off.— laptops
How long do they last?— MONST3R
[Trade] RapidShare Account for a Steam/CS 1.6 Account
One guy tried to trade a RapidShare premium account for a Steam account — the forum wasn't buying it
A low-post-count member posted in The Market Place offering a RapidShare (file-hosting) account in exchange for a Steam account with Counter-Strike 1.6, leaving his AIM handle for interested parties. The thread got only a few replies, mostly skeptical: one member questioned how long was left on the RapidShare account, and another pointed out the poster likely didn't even meet the forum's minimum post count to trade. A classic small, unremarkable trade thread typical of the Market Place section.
Im looking for a steam account with at leasat counter strike 1.6 on the account ill trade a rapidshare account 4 it.— Ras3had
Don't you need 100 posts.— havok123
Genuine Gears of War & NFS: Pro Street CD Key Sale
A member hawks unused Gears of War and NFS Pro Street CD keys for pocket change back in '07.
A short trading post in Fkn0wned's Market Place from December 2007, where forum uploader Famousss listed one genuine, unused Gears of War CD key and one Need for Speed: Pro Street CD key for sale, starting around $2.50-$5. The thread is brief, just two posts, typical of the low-stakes buying and selling that happened in this corner of the forum back when retail PC game keys still had street value.
I HAVE one nfs PRO STREET AND one GEARS OF WAR cd KEY FOR SALE these are both GENUINE and unused starting at 2.50 ($5 ish)— Famousss
Decent 5 Digit - Sold
A market listing for a 'decent 5 digit' item, long since sold out and snipped into oblivion.
This was a brief marketplace listing posted by user FlareBunny in the Top Sellers District, a section of the Fkn0wned forum's Market Place where members advertised goods for sale. The item referenced (a '5 digit' good, likely a numbered account or similar digital commodity typical of the site's trading scene) was marked sold, with the original listing content redacted ('-Snip-'). The thread got minimal engagement, just the seller's own follow-up post confirming the goods were gone.
Good(s) are no longer available, they are sold.— FlareBunny
Completed Sales - The Market Place Archive
4,406 closed deals: Steam accounts, game keys, sketchy Amazon orders, and a CS:GO cheat or two — the receipts of fkn0wned's black market.
This is the index page for 'Completed Sales,' the archive section of fkn0wned's Market Place forum where finished trades and sales were logged. The listings span Steam accounts loaded with games, CS:GO knives and cheats, League and PSN accounts, game keys, gift cards, and various carded/fraud-adjacent goods like Amazon orders and fake ID offers. It's a mundane but telling snapshot of the site's economy — small-time traders, a free middleman service, and the everyday hustle culture that ran alongside the forum's cheat-scene identity.
