FkN Trading Rules & Middle Men

The pinned sticky that kept fkn0wned's back-alley Steam account bazaar from turning into total scammer chaos.

A staff-posted sticky laying out the official rules for the Trading section, covering account trading etiquette, VAC-status proof requirements, and a designated 'middle man' system to prevent scams. Four trusted staff/members were named as official middlemen, each using one shared verification email address for handling trades safely. The thread also calls out a specific user as a known scammer, giving a glimpse into the community's ever-present trust issues around trading accounts and items.

We Moderate Your Fun!

Trading Steam Account For Habbo

A guy tries to trade away his TF2/Portal/HL2-loaded Steam account... for Habbo Hotel furni.

In this 2007 Other Trades thread, member Archies offers to swap a Steam account stacked with Team Fortress 2, Portal, Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2 and its episodes for Habbo Hotel goods, admitting Steam had gotten boring for him. The replies mostly mock the idea, with regulars questioning why anyone would 'downgrade' from Steam to Habbo, debating UK vs .com/.AU Habbo servers, and one poster half-jokingly suggesting shady account-grabbing methods. Archies eventually backs off the trade and decides to keep his Habbo account instead, ending the thread on an anticlimactic note.

Hmm ye i know its gay, But atm i have got back into habbo.— Archies

LOL. Why would you downgrade like that. It is so e...— Astrea

nvm i just like decided to keep it :/— djb

Custom Avatars for Sale by Shifty

A supervisor was hand-slinging custom avatars for $3 a pop — free if you were cool enough to be Staff or 1K Club.

A thread in the Other Trades subforum where longtime Supervisor 'Shifty.' advertised a custom avatar-making service, showing off a handful of example designs made for other members. Avatars cost $3 via PayPal, but were comped for Staff and members of the '1K Club' (a post-count status tier), highlighting the site's little internal economy and hierarchy of clout. A small, mundane but very of-its-era slice of forum commerce and community status culture.

They cost $3 unless you're in the 1K Club or Staff where they are free.— Shifty.

Contact me if you're interested. Peace out.— Shifty.

Selling a Level 70 Orc Hunter WoW Account, Full Tier 5

A guildless T5 Orc Hunter named 'ManChild' up for grabs — PayPal, RS2 gold, or a Steam trade accepted

A user called Purplecowz posted in the Other Trades subforum offering to sell a Level 70 Orc Hunter World of Warcraft account, boasting full Tier 5 gear, an epic flying mount, and strong PvP credentials. No fixed price was set — offers were invited via PayPal, RuneScape 2 gold, Steam trades, or other account swaps, with contact also open through MSN and email. It's a small snapshot of the old-school cross-game item/account trading culture that flourished on gaming forums like Fkn0wned before stricter TOS enforcement and platform lockdowns made this kind of trading rarer.

Level 70 Orc Hunter 'ManChild' - Full Tier 5 - 5000g+ - Epic Flying Mount - 100% Epic Gear - Great Pvp.— Purplecowz

Well.. Yeah, not so much to say... Don't really care for a price, would like an offer— Purplecowz

Level 59 RuneScape Account Auction (Dead Thread)

A guy tried to auction his RuneScape account for 'anything reasonable' — didn't even have 100 posts to legally trade it

A member with a brand-new account tried to sell his level 59 RuneScape character in the Other Trades subforum, posting screenshots as proof it wasn't stolen or a scam. He quickly got called out for not meeting the 100-post minimum required to trade, and points system was reportedly broken/down at the time anyway. He then pivoted to offering the account in exchange for an MSN domain trick instead of points. A moderator eventually stepped in, but by January 2008 the linked images had rotted and the thread was locked as dead.

points are down have been for quiet some time and by the looks of it they ain't coming back so yeah i doubt you will get points for em— jacal

Dont u need 100 posts to post here and be taken seriously? F— Famousss

Level 70 WoW Priest for Trade — Classic Account-Swap Thread

A maxed-out Undead Shadow Priest goes looking for a Horde Rogue in the Fkn0wned trade pit — with a CS:S account thrown in as a curveball.

In this short 'Other Trades' listing from December 2007, member daxsmoke offers up his level 70 Undead Shadow Priest 'Volaju' (flying mount, epic ground mount, gold, and gladiator-gear-ready honor) in search of a level 64+ Horde Rogue on a US server. He bumps the thread once with no bites, then pwn911 swings by offering a Steam account loaded with CS:S, CZ, 1.6, and HL in exchange for the priest. Classic era-appropriate cross-game account swapping, complete with the obligatory 'I AM THE ORIGINAL ACCOUNT OWNER' disclaimer and a promise to use a middleman.

I AM THE ORIGINAL ACCOUNT OWNER!— daxsmoke

BUMP IN THA NIGHT— daxsmoke

Are you interested in a Steam acc with CS:S, CZ, 1.6 and HL, I really want a priest.— pwn911

Selling or Trading a Sealed DOOM3 Expansion Pack

Guy flips a $9 thrift-store DOOM3 expansion, gets instantly accused of scamming

A short, small-time trading thread in Fkn0wned's 'Other Trades' subforum where member Industry offered up an unopened DOOM3 expansion pack he claimed to have picked up for $9 at a Salvation Army store. Fellow member jcomp6 immediately called BS, demanding proof it was still sealed, prompting Industry to post photos of the item to back up his claim. A tiny, mundane slice of the forum's trading culture — the kind of low-stakes haggling and reflexive skepticism that filled the trading boards between the bigger cheat and account trades.

any offers, i bought for 9 bucks at salvation army store— Industry

9 bucks as if more like you scammed it, show some pics of this un opened case— jcomp6

dumbshit...proof is here:— Industry

Selling Guild Wars Account

A member tries to sell his $90 Guild Wars account and gets mocked down to 12 cents.

Member monk3y posted a low-key classifieds thread in 2007 trying to offload his Guild Wars account, which included both the Nightfall and Prophecies expansions, having originally spent around $90-100 on it. Instead of real offers, the thread quickly turned into a joke as other members lowballed him with absurd counter-offers, starting at 12 cents and eventually rising to a whopping $8. A minor, good-natured bit of forum ribbing rather than any actual sale, typical of the era's laid-back trading subforums.

$0.12 That is 12 cents for those. Best offer.— Klud

ill pay $8.00 dollars— soldja3678

lol id rather trade it then get 1.50, if u guys wa...— monk3y

Selling BF2 account

A guy tries to sell his 'legendary' Battlefield 2 account for a whopping 15 euros.

In this short 2007 Other Trades thread, member Peski-Ruski put his Battlefield 2 account up for sale, hyping its reputation and skill stats on IO servers with a link to a stats-tracking site. Two replies followed — one asking the price, another joking about being close to that rank — before Peski-Ruski named a modest asking price with a cheeky condition attached. A tiny, low-stakes slice of the old BF2 trading scene, more banter than business.

The account is well known on all the IO servers, for outstanding skill— Peski-Ruski

15 Euros (22 USD), if I think you're sexy— Peski-Ruski

hahaha nicee im almost at that rank one day— retarded_elephant69

Trading a RuneScape Account for Guild Wars Platinum

A brand-new member tries to swap his RuneScape 'tank ranger' for Guild Wars gold — and gets promptly gatekept.

A short, minor trade listing from late 2007 where a newly registered member named Genocide offers his RuneScape account (a tank ranger build with decent combat stats) in exchange for Guild Wars platinum. Another user, Archies, quickly shuts it down by pointing out the forum's minimum post-count requirement for trading, and Genocide sheepishly admits he's new. The thread fizzles out after just three posts, a tiny but perfectly preserved snapshot of the era's account-trading culture and forum gatekeeping norms.

100 posts to trade tbh— Archies

o right soz im new to the forum— Genocide

Trading a Level 95 RuneScape Account for a Steam Account with CS 1.6/Source

A level 95 RuneScape account, up for trade for a modest Steam account with CS1.6 and Source.

A short, low-key trade thread from November 2007 where member Monoxide41 offered a level 95 RuneScape account (no items, just some stats built up) in exchange for a Steam account. NutterNZ asked what he wanted, and Monoxide41 clarified he just wanted a Steam account with CS 1.6 and Source on it. A tiny snapshot of the era when RuneScape accounts and Steam/CS accounts were routinely bartered like currency on gaming forums.

No items on it however... Some members items thats it... If made a member can be used to make quite a bit of bank...— Monoxide41

Steam account with CS1.6 and source... nothin much...— Monoxide41

Trading a Rapidshare Account for a WoW Druid

Norwegian teen wants to swap a Rapidshare account for a specific WoW Alliance druid, middleman included

A December 2007 trade post from user AveLoN offering a 6-month Rapidshare account in exchange for a fairly specific EU World of Warcraft account (Alliance, Druid, level 58-63, transferable PVP realm, preferably female). Staff member mr.N0Nam3 steps in to allow the trade despite AveLoN's low post count, warning that future trades require 100 posts, which AveLoN jokes about. A minor, mundane slice of the forum's trading culture and its informal post-count rules for the Trading subforum.

You can trade this time, but next time you will need 100 posts =).— mr.N0Nam3

yeah.. like .. how much does 7 posts count ?— AveLoN

Trade: 3 RS Prem for CSS Unbanned

One guy, one bump, and a trade offer nobody answered — classic 2008 marketplace tumbleweed.

A short, barely-noticed trade listing from the 'Other Trades' section of the Fkn0wned marketplace, posted by member rnie offering RuneScape premium membership in exchange for an unbanned Counter-Strike: Source account (or account-for-account swaps). The thread consists only of the original post and a same-day bump with no replies. Notable mainly as a small time-capsule of the site's account/item trading culture — and for the irony that rnie's own account is later shown flipped to 'Banned' status in the archive snapshot.

yeah that's right pm for info + screenies and proof and omg I liek butsecks— rnie

Trading Steam for a MapleStory Account

One guy wanted to swap his clean Steam library for a high-level MapleStory hermit — did anyone bite?

A short, low-key trade listing from September 2007 where user GTX1 offered up a Steam account loaded with CS:S, 1.6, and CZ (claimed clean, no VAC bans, no hack history) in exchange for a decently-leveled MapleStory character on the Scania server. A couple months later another member popped in offering a higher-level hermit, and one more reply followed after that. Nothing dramatic — just a small glimpse of the casual game-account barter economy that ran through Fkn0wned's Trading section back in the day.

i got a 110 hermit. want?— ijusk03du

BATTLE FEILD 2 & 2142, FOR A STEAM ACCOUNT

One member's caps-lock crusade to swap two brand new BF2/2142 discs for a 6-digit Steam account with CS 1.6 and CZ

A short trade thread in the Other Trades subforum where member scuddzilla offers new, boxed copies of Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 in exchange for a 6-digit Steam account carrying Counter-Strike 1.6 and Condition Zero. The all-caps opening post draws a light ribbing from another member about the shouty formatting, which scuddzilla brushes off good-naturedly. A member going by .:XxX:. eventually offers up a 6-digit account with CS:S, DOD:S, HL Deathmatch and HL2, and the two move to PMs and email to sort out details via a middleman, a fairly typical low-stakes exchange for the era's Steam/game-key trading culture.

MEH I FIND IT SEXEH LOL cmon peeps wers ya offers— scuddzilla

is it really necessary to have caps on?— Cud

i got a 6 digit steam account in good standings and it has cs:s, dod:s,hl deathmatch and hl2— .:XxX:.

The WoW Account Sale That Never Had a Working Link

A guy tried to sell a 'full epic' level 70 mage without 100 posts, a working armory link, or much luck.

A low-post-count member named meanchad tried to sell a level 70 Mage World of Warcraft account, claiming it was fully epic-geared, and posted a broken/shortened armory link as proof. Longtime members quickly called out that he didn't meet the forum's 100-post trading requirement and that his link was cut off, leading to a short back-and-forth of failed link reposts and gentle mockery. The thread was eventually closed by moderator NoNamE! for going nowhere. A minor, forgettable trade attempt that fizzled out mostly due to forum rules and broken links rather than any real drama.

need 100 posts?— ballistic

Not Found The requested URL /character-sheet.x...n&n=Brocken was not found on this server Win?— NoNamE!

and its still shortened -.- you gotta copy the WHOLE link, otherwise nobody will be able to see what you're willing to post— strang0r

Noob Tries to Bypass 100-Post Trading Rule to Sell BF2 Key

A brand-new BF2 key, a suspicious 'I have permission' claim, and a low-post-count noob butting heads with forum rules

A user with only 11 posts, DeathAdder, tried to sell a 'brand new, 100% legit' Battlefield 2 CD key for $11 in the Other Trades subforum. Longtime 1000 Club member pyeman quickly pointed out the standard 100-post minimum required to trade on Fkn0wned. DeathAdder pushed back twice, claiming he'd gotten personal sign-off from a staffer named Sonikk to bypass the rule due to his '1000th club' status — a claim that reads as dubious given his post count. A small, mundane slice of the forum's trade-rule enforcement and the kind of rule-lawyering newbies attempted.

Hi, I have got a BattleField 2 key, brand new and the manual rite infront of me... Price: $11— DeathAdder

you need 100 posts to trade on fkn0wned— pyeman

I have got sole-permission from Sonikk that i can post here in the trade section— DeathAdder

Selling WiC CD Key (Shut Down by Post-Count Rule)

A World in Conflict CD key for sale — but the real story is getting shut down by a post-count wall

Member TNJ tried to sell a World in Conflict CD key in the Other Trades section, hoping to swap it for around 10 million RuneScape gold, noting he'd paid nearly $100 for it originally. Forum regular Legit_Hacks quickly pointed out TNJ didn't meet the 100+ post requirement to trade in that section (with the usual excuse that the enforcement mod was temporarily down). TNJ sheepishly conceded with a one-line 'Oh, my bad...' and the thread fizzled out after just three posts.

Tbh, I want RS Gold. Around 10m, which is an absolute bargain considfering I bought it for just under $100.— TNJ

You must have 100+ posts to be in this section of the forum, the mod is down right now but should be up shortly.— Legit_Hacks

Oh, my bad...— TNJ

MapleStory Trade: Level 86 Dragon Knight for Bellocan Mesos

A MapleStory character trade thread that fizzled out with someone admitting they didn't even know their own mesos count.

A member calling themselves '◢:MS Hacking God:◣' posted a small trade offer in the Other Trades subforum, looking to swap a level 86 Dragon Knight (Bellocan server) for Bellocan mesos or a PayPal offer. A couple of members asked about included gear and promised photos, but the thread trails off with a late, unrelated reply from a brand-new lowbie who clearly wandered in without much to trade. Low-stakes, everyday MapleStory trading chatter typical of the board's Other Trades section.

level 86 dragon knight for bellocan mesos -or- paypal offer— -Still Life-

yes it comes with items i'll post pics after to lazy >_>— Dameno

lol just started yesterday I'm lvl 4 and I dont know how many mesos I even have.— frenchhorn07

Selling a Netflix Movie Account (6-Month Unlimited Plan)

A member tries to flip a Netflix account for PayPal cash — and immediately gets checked on the 100-post trading rule

In this Other Trades thread from December 2007, user lragnarok11 offered to sell a 6-month unlimited Netflix account for $50 via PayPal, pitching the free shipping and no-late-fees angle. Fellow members quickly pointed out the board's rule requiring 100 posts to trade, sparking a brief back-and-forth about eligibility. lragnarok11 returned days later to confirm he'd cleared the post-count requirement, closing out the thread. A small, mundane slice of old-school forum trading culture and its self-policing post-count gatekeeping.

lol that seems pointless and dont you need 100 posts?— MicroUltra

yes that is correct micro, you Require 100 Posts to Trade !— jcomp6

I have more than 100 post now— lragnarok11

RuneScape Account Sale Thread Derailed by Post-Count Rule

A guy tried to flog his low-level RuneScape account and got shut down by the forum's own post-count rule

In this brief 2007 Other Trades listing, member Guru_Danny attempted to sell a low-level combat RuneScape account with some decent non-combat stats, posting screenshots as proof and inviting offers. The thread quickly derailed when fellow member pyeman pointed out he didn't have the 100+ posts required to post in that section, revealing the enforcement mod was temporarily down. It's a tiny, mundane slice of old-forum bureaucracy rather than any real drama or sale.

you need 100+ posts to post in this section— pyeman

the mod for it is down atm— pyeman

Runescape Level 70 Account for Trade

An Aussie kid wanted to swap his maxed-out Runescape grind for a clean Steam account — and the thread got locked before anyone could seal the deal.

A low-post-count member from Australia tried to trade his Runescape level 70 account, decked out with dragon gear and a house, for a never-hacked Steam account with CS 1.6 and Source. He offered no screenshots (citing fear of Jagex account bans) and floated the idea of a mod acting as trade middleman for trust. A couple of members poked around with light interest, but a moderator closed the thread outright because the original poster didn't meet the forum's 100-post minimum for trading privileges.

No bank pin or recovery questions (so i can't get it back).— bobbafett07

Maybe we could get a fkn0wned mod/admin to be the middleman?— bobbafett07

Topic starter doesn't have 100 posts— NutterNZ

Buying a CS 1.6 Account: Peter's $10.81 Budget Hunt

Kid with $10.81 and no credit card just wants a low-8-digit Steam account, middlemen already on Xfire.

A brand-new member, petermin94, posts in the Other Trades subforum looking to buy a Steam CS 1.6 account, specifying he wants an older 'high 7-digit or low 8-digit' account and can only pay the exact $10.81 balance sitting on his account since he lacked a credit card. He mentions having vetted some community 'middlemen' on Xfire to broker the deal safely, and notes he'd previously had another account with ~150 posts but lost the password. A pretty ordinary, small-stakes trading post typical of the era's account marketplace culture, though notably the poster's account is tagged as Banned.

im interested in buying a steam cs1.6 account for 10$ at least high 7dig or low 8dig because i dont have a credit card— petermin94

i had another account with about 150 posts but forgot the pass =X— petermin94

Buying a Garry's Mod Account

A guy hunts for a GMod account and, within two weeks, ends up sorted — VAC-banned freebies and orange box trades included

A member named Cud posted looking to buy any Steam account that had Garry's Mod on it, open to trading goods instead of cash. Co-manager Shifty chimed in insisting he'd only deal in real money, while other members offered up VAC-banned accounts and multi-game bundles for trade. The thread wraps up quickly and quietly with Cud confirming he'd already sourced a GMod account and asking for the thread to be closed — a small, ordinary slice of the forum's account-trading economy.

I will only accept money. I will probably have or get hold of anything you can offer me.— Shifty

close plz i have gmod— Cud

Selling BF2 + BF2142 Account for CS:S Trade

A dusty account-for-sale listing where the seller wanted CS:S more than cash

A short trading post in the Other Trades subforum where a member listed a Battlefield 2 + BF2142 account for sale/trade. Staff GFX member MuusiK^ chimed in looking to trade for a clean, unbanned CS:S Steam account instead of buying outright. Only one other reply came through, from a since-banned member, before the thread went quiet — a small, unremarkable snapshot of the site's account-trading culture and its 100-post trading requirement.

What i want in a steam account with cs:s other games dont matter really, Just make sure its unbanned and no cheats have been used on it. Anyone? (post screenie as well please)— MuusiK^

Buying a Silkroad Online Account

One dude, one lonely post, wanting to trade a Steam account and PayPal cash for his bro's Silkroad Online dreams.

A short, single-post trade thread in Fkn0wned.Com's Other Trades subforum where user milkrulz04 sought to buy a Silkroad Online (SRO) account for a friend, offering a Steam account plus PayPal cash depending on the level of the account. The thread never got any replies, a small, quiet snapshot of the casual account/goods bartering economy that ran through the site's Trading section. No drama, no notable back-and-forth, just a fleeting want-ad from the forum's twilight days.

im looking for a silkroadonline account at a decent lvl for my bro im willing to trade a steam account + paypal cash depending on the lvl of the account— milkrulz04

Selling Legit Rapidshare Account

Back when a paid Rapidshare account was actually worth flogging on the forums.

A short, quiet listing in the Other Trades subforum where user Captin_55 offered up a Rapidshare premium account he'd bought via PayPal, taking offers from other members. It barely got any traction — just one reply asking about the account's duration before the trail goes cold. A tiny, unremarkable snapshot of the era when premium file-host accounts were a minor currency in trading forums like this one.

How long is it?— TeKn1qu3z

Guild Wars account for trade (Prophecies + Nightfall)

One lone offer: swap a stacked Guild Wars account for a Steam account, no takers in sight.

A member named monk3y posted in the Other Trades subforum in November 2007 offering to trade his Guild Wars account (with the Prophecies and Nightfall campaigns) for a Steam account or other offers. The post is a single, unanswered listing typical of the forum's barter economy, where users swapped game accounts and licenses instead of buying/selling for cash. No replies or negotiation followed in the archived thread.

im willing to trade my guildwars acc with profs and nightfall for a steam account with some good games or maybe whatever u have really, just make some offers!!— monk3y

Other Trades — the barter bin of Fkn0wned

CD-keys for accounts, WoW hunters for CoD4, and a Rapidshare fire sale — the classifieds of a dead cheat forum.

This is an archived listing page from the 'Other Trades' subforum under Trading, capturing an early-2008 snapshot of the community's barter economy. Members hawked and swapped game CD-keys (COD4, GTA:SA, BF2, Gears of War), Runescape and WoW accounts, Rapidshare premium accounts, and even hardware like a PS3 and an iPod, all through simple 'WTS/WTT/WTB' style posts. It's less about hacking here and more about the everyday hustle of teenage internet commerce — cheap accounts, quick trades, and the occasional urgent 'pay me in 30 minutes' plea. Staff like Shifty, tKeR, and mr.N0Nam3 kept trading rules and FAQs pinned up top to keep the chaos semi-orderly.
