Steam Accounts For Sale!!!!! (2007)
A noob hawks a stack of "clean VAC2" Steam accounts — and the forum immediately clocks the screenshot's giveaway file name
A brand-new member with only two posts listed a batch of Steam accounts for sale, priced individually or as a bundle, complete with screenshots as proof. Regulars haggled over prices (including offers in forum points) before staff and longtime posters questioned whether a low-post-count member should even be allowed to trade in that section. The thread eventually turned into an accusation of account theft after someone spotted a suspicious 'steamaccounts.txt' file visible in one of the seller's screenshots, a small but telling piece of forum detective work typical of the era's trading boards.
Now look at the name of that notepad toolbar. What does it say. Steamaccounts.txt Need I say more?— -Darkness-
im pretty sure these accounts are scammed man no one needs heaps of accounts unless syblings etc..— mark660
He doesnt have 100 posts, these accounts cant be sold...— Legit_Hacks
1k Club Access - Points Shop Debate
TuxifieD puts '1k Club' access up for points... and the forum immediately does the math on why it's a scam
Site owner TuxifieD opens a thread offering '1k Club' access for 1,100 forum points, part of Fkn0wned's points/rewards economy in the Market Place trading section. The thread quickly turns into a running argument, led by TheLoneMan, over whether the price makes any sense at all, since earning enough points to buy it would already require enough posts to qualify for the 1k Club for free. Several members pile on with complaints about point totals disappearing or fluctuating (5 points per post one night, 1 the next), while others tell the complainers to stop whining since it's all free perks anyway. A minor side-scuffle breaks out when minitureman tries to clown TheLoneMan with a garbled economics analogy and gets thoroughly, dryly dismantled in return.
It is absolutely pointless because anybody who has enough points to buy this reward will already be in the 1k club, no matter what.— TheLoneMan
Am I dumb? K. 1-800-HOOKED-ON-PHONICS— TheLoneMan
stop yalls bitching. if you dont want to use your points toward 1k than use them toward other things.— rhion82
How The Market Place Worked - Points-Based Trading Rules
The post that laid down the law for Fkn0wned's internal points economy — before points were 'worth more than usd'
A rules-and-instructions post from site owner TuxifieD explaining how The Market Place subforum operated: members could sell items for forum points instead of real money, using [SHOP] or [REQUEST] prefixes to organize listings. It's a small but telling artifact of the forum's internal economy, where its own point currency briefly took on real trading value among members. Simple, administrative, but a nice window into how these early cheat-scene forums self-organized commerce.
Soon points are going to be worth more than usd on this forum— TuxifieD
you sell something, the buyer donates the points to you for the item and you're done— TuxifieD
[FkN] Trading Rules & Middle Men
The stickied law of the land for Fkn0wned's trading forum — rules, trusted middlemen, and one publicly named scammer.
A pinned staff post from Fkn0wned.Com's Market Place laying out the official rules for trading Steam/game accounts and other goods on the forum, including bans on selling stolen accounts or private hacks and requirements for proof screenshots. It names four trusted community members who volunteered as free middlemen to broker trades safely, with a designated shared account for handling exchanges. The post closes with a direct public warning against a named user accused of scamming, a small but telling snapshot of the trust economy that early cheat/trading forums had to build for themselves.
Don't trade with officerowange as he is a known scammer.— Shifty
No proof = no care.— Shifty
Ban a Member for a Day — 500 Points
TuxifieD auctioned off the power to ban someone for a day — for a price.
A Market Place thread started by site owner TuxifieD offering a novelty 'service': for 500 points, a member could have another user banned for a day. It's a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek listing typical of the trading section, more a joke/gimmick item than a serious offer. PaRaNoID, a known crew member, was among the first to respond.
If you are interested, PM me or post here.— TuxifieD
Trading Rules and Middlemen
The stickied rulebook that kept fkn0wned's Steam-account bazaar from turning into a total scam-fest.
A staff-posted sticky from mr.N0Nam3 laying out the official rules for the Market Place trading subforum, covering account sales (VAC-unbanned only, proof required), thread etiquette, and bans on stolen accounts or private hacks. It designates a short list of trusted staff members as free middlemen for cautious trades and warns of a specific known scammer to avoid. A classic piece of forum infrastructure from the era when Steam accounts and CS:S goods were casually bought and sold between members.

Low Digit CS:S Account Trading & the Points Economy
[FkN] Admin Shifty offers up to 1,000 points for a low-digit CS:S Steam account — cue a newbie asking what a 'digit' even is.
A trading thread in The Market Place where site admin Shifty. posts a buy offer for low-digit Counter-Strike: Source accounts, trading site 'points' for accounts with six digits or fewer. A newer member asks what a low digit actually means, and another member explains that a lower account number implied the game was owned longer, which carried status and was sought after for getting into pro teams and competitions.
If your selling a low digit CSS account I will offer you 800 points for it. I will go 6 digits or lower, if you have 1 let me know.— Shifty.
we should make a sticky or a welcome msg that tells every noob this you are about the 1000th person to ask this question.— Uncensor3d
Warez Requests - 25 Points Each
Sonikk ran a one-man black-market concierge service for pirated software, priced in forum points and backed by a money-back guarantee.
A service thread in the Market Place trading subforum where longtime [FkN] Crew member Sonikk offered to track down requested 'warez' (software, games, movies) for a flat fee of 25 forum points, with a refund promise if the goods didn't work. A couple of members, minitureman and Cud, chimed in with quick requests (notably for the 'llatest photoshop'), showing the casual, favor-economy vibe of the board's points system. Arcade also posted, though without a specific request visible. It's a small but characteristic snapshot of the site's internal barter culture, where reputation, points, and Xfire handles substituted for real currency.
This is a shop where you can request warez... If i find it, you will need to pay 25 points for it..— Sonikk
hey can you get me the llatest photoshop please— minitureman
yeah ^^ me too ty— Cud
VIP Anti-Aim Scripts Scam Accusation
A guy tries to sell mysterious 'VIP anti-aim scripts' and the whole thread just... doesn't believe him.
In this Market Place thread from December 2007, member abusayaff advertises unnamed 'VIP anti aim scripts' for CS 1.6, claiming they're for use alongside other hacks on hacker-vs-hacker deathmatch servers. Several members express confusion about what the scripts even do, and jacal flatly calls the concept impossible and accuses abusayaff of running a scam. Ballistic jumps in to defend the seller by attacking jacal's credibility, sparking a small flame exchange before a moderator closed the thread as pointless.
i call scamer unless you show me other wise— jacal
You have no clue what you are talking about... stop with all the bullshit that you are saying.— ballistic
another stupid ass topic.— mr.N0Nam3
32 Rapidshare.com Accounts! - The Market Place
A guy openly sold 32 phished Rapidshare premium accounts, PayPal only, no refunds if they got yanked.
A user calling himself 'Rapidshare Giveaway' posted a for-sale thread offering a batch of 32 Rapidshare premium accounts he'd obtained through phishing, with varying expiration dates and some carrying bonus points. He offered to sell in bulk or individually via PayPal, buyer pays first, and explicitly disclaimed responsibility if the compromised accounts got changed or reclaimed after purchase. A staff member chimed in with a one-line reply about grabbing the ones with points, showing the casual, unmoderated tone typical of the Market Place board at the time.
I phished 32 rapidshare premium accounts ranging expiring in a month or over a year.— Rebelz
I am not responsible if the account information is changed after purchase as all of these accounts are phished and I have no use for them.— Rebelz
Lol sell the ones with points.— Don Ruski
Steam Account Value Check Thread
A CS:S kid just wanted to know what his Steam account was worth — got a post-count lecture and a $35 quote instead
A low-post member with a Counter-Strike: Source account asks in The Market Place how much a Steam account might be worth, clarifying he's not actually trying to sell it there. He gets told he technically doesn't have enough posts to be in that section, then another member cracks a joke about grammar before tossing out a rough valuation of around $35. Small, mundane thread, but a nice little snapshot of the account-trading culture and forum access-gating that defined this corner of Fkn0wned.
You are not supposed to be in this section, you must have 100+ posts— Legit_Hacks
your grammer isnt very open is it, and im not sure how much the account would be worth, maybe in and around 35$— Legit_Hacks
I'm just wondering how much it is worth, I'm not actually selling it on fkn0wned. haha.— DarkRedFlame
Need Points?? - Noob Begs, Gets Clowned, Mod Warns
A noob begs for forum points, gets clowned by the regulars, then a mod warns him for it
A low-post-count member, sniperlock901, posts in The Market Place asking anyone to just give him points outright. Established members minitureman and fizzer immediately mock him for having barely any posts, telling him to earn his way instead of begging. Admin/mod Shifty. steps in with an official warning against asking for points, and AcidViper chimes in claiming he'd already handed the guy 4 points anyway. A short, low-stakes thread that captures the everyday small-time bartering and gentle ribbing of the site's points-based economy.
Okay I need points very bad if any body can help me out will be very a preshiated or any loyal person out their plz give me points— sniperlock901
lmao look at your posts go get some posts then try not posting in this section— minitureman
Warned, don't ask for points please.— Shifty.
Wanted: A Clean C:SS Account for a CAL Match
Some kid needed an unbanned Source account fast — for a totally legit CAL match, promise.
A quick, small-time trading post in The Market Place where user 3dstz asked to buy a clean, unbanned Counter-Strike: Source account, offering site points or a trade, insisting it wasn't for cheating in a CAL match. Fellow member xrefused1007 replied within minutes offering a bundled Source/HL2 account package, and the deal was closed just as fast. A tiny, everyday snapshot of the site's account-trading economy circa 2007.
I want to buy Any C:SS Account that is not banned and not Doged and that works!— 3dstz
Got one with css hl2 hl2 deathmatch and hl2 lost coast interested?— xrefused1007
Closed Thx for the trade buddy ^^— 3dstz
Kid Tries to Sell Steam Account for Real Cash in Points-Only Marketplace
Kid tries to sell his Steam account for actual dollars in a forum that only trades in fkn0wned points — chaos ensues
In October 2007, member ynaggo posted in The Market Place trying to sell a Steam account (with Counter-Strike: Anthology and a Garry's Mod/CS:S bundle) for real-world cash, asking the community to help him price it 'in points.' Regulars quickly clarified that the subforum only supported trading in fkn0wned points, not actual money, and poked fun at him for tacking 'with tax' onto his asking price when the games were cheaper on Steam itself. The thread is a small, good-natured ribbing session rather than a real sale, with a couple of established members (Arcade, Legit_Hacks, Uncensor3d) stepping in to explain forum trading norms, and site admin/supervisor Shifty. making a brief cameo appearance at the end.
lol with tax funny HINT: css cost $20 on steam hes selling it for $24— fizzer
this is fknpoints trading only not trading for $$$$— Uncensor3d
Im worried if i set to low ill get ripped if i set it to high people might hustle me into thinking its low :S:S— ynaggo
Laptops' Rapidshare Account Trading Thread
A forum vet named 'Laptops' hawks month-long Rapidshare accounts for four bucks, and staff vouch for him on the spot.
A short trading post in The Market Place where longtime member Laptops advertises brand new one-month Rapidshare accounts for $4 USD, inviting buyers to PM him or reply. Staff member Don Ruski immediately chimes in with a strong vouch, calling Laptops 100% legit and suggesting the thread be pinned. It's a small but telling snapshot of the informal trust economy that ran these old trading subforums, where reputation and staff co-signs mattered more than any formal escrow system.
Yea, i got lots, lots of people will vouch for me, selling one month brand new ones.— laptops
Laptops has my full trust and respect, 100% legit, if I were you I wouldn't even bother using the middle man.— Don Ruski
Buying Steam Accounts with Fkn Points
One guy, some Fkn points, and a very specific request: no VAC bans please.
A short, low-key post in The Market Place where user Jack Daniels put out a want-ad to buy Steam accounts using the forum's internal point currency, with the sole stipulation that they be clean of VAC bans. One reply from xrefused1007 asked what games he was after, and the thread ended there — a quick snapshot of how casual account trading was on the site's internal economy back in 2007.
Hey guys im buying steam accounts with Fkn points. no VAC banned ones plz. k thx.— Jack Daniels
what kinda of games you want?— xrefused1007
[Request] Runescape Accounts
A CS 1.6 rager wants to buy your old Runescape account — points on the table, no scrubs under level 40
In The Market Place trading subforum, longtime member Arcade posts a short request looking to buy Runescape accounts using site points, claiming it's for a relative rather than himself. Member fizzer replies with a level 53 account pitch (decent stats, some rune gear, dragon slayer quest done) asking around 400-500 points. It's a small, quiet trade thread typical of the forum's Market Place section, where members bought, sold, and haggled over game accounts and points rather than cash.
I am looking to buy some Runescape accounts with some points.— Arcade
umm a lvl 53 with nearly all stats over 40 full rune 168k i think done the dragon slayer quest or some shit— fizzer
[REQUEST] Portal Account
A member wants a Portal account, insists on FKN PNTS only, no shady unlockers
A quick one-post ask in The Market Place from 'jacal', a Trained Noob member, looking to buy a Portal (the Valve game, newly out in 2007 via the Orange Box) account. He offers to pay in the site's internal currency, FKN PNTS, and specifically rules out 'unlockers' — a nod to the era's rampant Steam account trading and cracked-unlock scene. A snapshot of the site's economy of forum points and game account trading typical of late-2000s gaming forums.
hey im after a portal account will pay by FKN PNTS don't want any unlockers!!! just the account thanx— jacal
Rapidshare.com 1 Month Account - For Sale (2,000 points)
The forum owner himself hawking a month of Rapidshare for points — peak 2007 internet economy.
A short trading post in The Market Place where site owner TuxifieD offered a 1-month Rapidshare.com premium account for 2,000 forum points back in September 2007. Rapidshare was the go-to file host of the era, so premium access was a genuinely valuable commodity among members. [FkN] Crew regular Sonikk chimed in shortly after, likely showing interest, though the thread trails off with little further detail preserved.
Wanted: A Cheap CS:S Steam Account
One guy just wanted Source, and haggled a Half-Life bundle down to a fiver-and-up deal.
A one-post member, Chosen_Kaine, dropped a quick want-ad in The Market Place looking for a Counter-Strike: Source Steam account, offering $5-10 since he only cared about CS:S itself. A month later TeKn1qu3z answered with an account bundled with Half-Life 2, Deathmatch, and Lost Coast for $9, pointing to AIM for contact. Along the way another user, fizzer, questioned whether this kind of sale even belonged in this section rather than the points-trading area. A small, low-key snapshot of the era's casual Steam account trading scene.
Anybody have an account with just CS:S..If it has other stuff that's fine depending on price...i'm looking to pay $5-10 for one— Chosen_Kaine
isant this selling stuff for points section?— fizzer
I have one with the following games. -Half-Life 2 -Counter-Strike: Source -Half-Life 2: Deathmatch -Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Price: $9— TeKn1qu3z
Trade 600 Points for 1Mil FFXI
A guy tries to swap his forum points for Final Fantasy XI gold, and nobody bites.
A short, low-key trade listing in The Market Place where user 3dstz offers 600 forum points for 1,000,000 gil on the Ifrit server of Final Fantasy XI, proposing a middleman to secure the deal. Fellow member fizzer didn't even know what FFXI was, asked if it was an MMORPG, and after being told, politely declined. No trade ever happened — just a quiet, mildly funny dead-end thread typical of the forum's off-hours Market Place traffic.
This is a fairly generous deal ^^— 3dstz
whats FFXI ? mmorpg game?— fizzer
not thx i dont play it— fizzer
[REQUEST] 2moons Character Giveaway
A CS:S kid asks the forum to hand over a 2moons character because leveling was too much effort — gets roasted for it
A short, low-stakes request thread in The Market Place where a member named Uncensor3d asks if anyone has a 2moons (MMO) character or account to give away or trade, since his friends played and he didn't want to grind levels himself. The thread got one bump ten days later with no takers, then fizzer dropped by just to say the game looked bad. A quiet, forgettable corner of the trading board that captures the everyday, low-effort barter culture of the forum.
I'm after a 2 moons character. I don't no much about the game its just some mates play and i won't to join in but cbf spending the hours leveling.— Uncensor3d
2moons looks shit— fizzer
Buying a CS:S Account
A guy named Cud wants to buy a Counter-Strike: Source account — and someone's got one on Xfire.
A short, low-key trading thread in Fkn0wned's Market Place where member 'Cud' posts looking to buy a CS:S (and possibly TF2/HL2) account, coordinating over Xfire. Another member, xrefused1007, quickly responds with an account to sell and the two arrange to talk off-forum. It's a mundane but classic snapshot of the era's Steam account trading scene, wrapped up in five short posts over about a day.
need tf2 and css, hl2 maybe more add me on xfire - cud0— Cud
got one add me on xfire— xrefused1007
RapidShare 1 Month for 500 Points
Someone was selling a month of RapidShare for forum points, and one guy almost bit.
A short trade listing in The Market Place where member xrefused1007 offered a 1-month RapidShare account in exchange for 500 site points, the forum's internal currency. Fellow member HaSh expressed interest but said his points were tied up in another trade, promising to follow up. A very small, mundane slice of the site's points-based trading economy circa late 2007.
Shit i would so buy it but I need the points for my other trade, if I get more points ill PM you.— HaSh
I'll be waiting— xrefused1007
[REQUEST] steam acc with 1.6
A guy begs for a clean CS 1.6 Steam account, then gets called a douche for not closing the deal fast enough.
A short, low-stakes trading thread from October 2007 where member fizzer asks for a VAC-unbanned Steam account with Counter-Strike 1.6, offering points and a screenshot as proof of good faith. After a couple of bumps, xrefused1007 offers one and asks fizzer to add him on xFire to work out details, while poacher shows up later annoyed that fizzer overlooked his own offer of an account for 230 (presumably points). It's a tiny slice of the classic Steam-account barter economy that ran through Fkn0wned's Market Place board.
VAC- UNBANNED will not take banned accounts need 1 asap thx— fizzer
fizzer ur a douche, i just told u that ill send u mine for 230— poacher
The Market Place — Fkn0wned.Com Trading Board (late 2007)
Steam accounts, Rapidshare logins, and a signature shop — the classic 2007 forum bazaar where everyone was buying, selling, or getting scammed.
This is the archived listing page for 'The Market Place,' the trading subforum of Fkn0wned.Com, snapshotted around December 2007. It's a grab-bag of member-posted classifieds: people hawking Steam accounts (especially prized low-digit ones), Rapidshare accounts, game CD keys, a signature/GFX shop, and even a request thread for game source code. Staff had pinned threads laying out trading rules, the role of middlemen, and an explainer on why low-digit Steam accounts were so coveted, showing the board took its trade economy seriously despite the free-for-all vibe. It's a good time-capsule of the mid-2000s gray-market trading culture that thrived on gaming forums before Steam locked things down harder.
Low Digit Steam Accounts Why are they so wanted?— [Co-Manager] Shifty
