The Great Steam Account Auction of 2007
An 8-game Steam account with a broken points system spirals into a month-long bidding war (and a fake 4000-point troll bid).
A classic Gametration.com auction thread from October-November 2007 where user Legit_Hacks put up an old-school Steam account (CS 1.6, Half-Life, DoD, TFC, and a handful of other early Valve titles) for auction using the forum's point-based currency. What should've been a quick sale turned into a weeks-long back-and-forth bidding war between mystical1, Jack Daniels, and a few others, complicated by the site's points system going down mid-auction, leaving bidders arguing over whether bids of '150' or '280' even meant anything without a working economy. It's a small, mundane slice of the cheat-scene marketplace culture — account trading as its own micro-economy, forum drama over imaginary currency, and the site's infrastructure quietly falling apart in the background.
4000 jk 250— Cud
220 and no it wont it'll be mine hehe— mystical1
The points aren't coming back.— Rebelz
The Great CS 1.6 Account Auction of October 2007
A single CS 1.6 account auction dragged on for weeks, spiraled from 100 points to a wild '5000 points' bid, and ended in a mod-close plea.
In the Auctions section of Gametration.com, member orangespwnz kicked off a points-based auction for a CS 1.6 account, starting the bidding at 100 points with in-game screenshots as proof. What followed was a slow-motion bidding war stretching from early October into November 2007, with regulars like Famousss, mr.N0Nam3, milkrulz04, minitureman, and Arcade trading escalating bids (100 up to 550+), plenty of stalling, side commentary about points inflation, and good-natured grumbling about how long the auction dragged on. It ends anticlimactically with an outlandish 5000-point bid from blackxthink and another member asking a moderator to just close the thread.

CS:S Gift Card Up For Grabs!
A member auctioned off a Counter-Strike: Source gift card — and the bidding barely got past a dollar.
In the Auctions section, member 'Insatiable.' (aka 'ι αм тнє νιяus') put a Counter-Strike: Source gift card up for grabs, inviting members to bid for it. The auction fizzled quickly — staffer 'laptops' (Eros1607) opened with a token $1 bid, prompting some banter about whether the card was a full or trial version, with jacal explaining gift cards typically only unlocked the game for a few days. Fellow member jcomp6 jokingly called the auction in Eros's favor before it wrapped up with no real bidding war.
I have a CS:S gift card up for grabs to whoever bids the highest...START YOUR BIDDING!— Insatiable.
$1— laptops
Eros will win— jcomp6
AcCoUNt CS1.6 AND CZ - forum points auction
A bored member auctions off a bundled CS 1.6 + CZ account for forum points, and the bidding rules confuse everyone
In the Auctions section, a member calling himself 'haha.1' offered to create and hand over a Counter-Strike 1.6 + Condition Zero account bundle to whoever won a points-based bidding war, starting at 10 points with a somewhat confusingly explained 10-100 point raise system. Several regulars including Sonikk, minitureman, fizzer, and Uncensor3d jumped in with bids ranging from 10 up past 100, with the OP repeatedly clarifying (in caps) that people misunderstood the min/max bid mechanics. It's a small, casual slice of the site's internal points-economy trading culture rather than any major drama, but it captures the goofy, chaotic energy of the Auctions board.
haha now i have your soul— minitureman
100 points (buyout)— Sonikk
U GUYS NEED TO READ THE LAST PART NOT THE MAX BID PART LOL— haha.1
The RuneScape Hack Bundle Auction
One member liquidated his entire RuneScape cheat collection for forum points — bundle deal, no returns.
A 2007 auction thread on Gametration.com's Auctions board where member 'fizzer' put up a bundle of old RuneScape tools and guides (miners, clickers, macros, auto-talkers, a 'making millions' guide he'd once paid real money for) for sale in exchange for fkn/forum points. Other members chimed in with bidding etiquette and a warning against including certain riskier items in the lot, while fizzer haggled over pricing and later just bumped the thread trying to drum up bids. A small, mundane but charmingly of-its-era slice of the site's internal points-based economy.
the secret to making millions guide(this one actally cost money in real life, i hade it like 3 years... now selling for fkn points!)— fizzer
Dont sell things like Art Money and Scar scripts a...— Sonikk

Auction: 'average 8 Digit+' cheat (starting bid 100 fkn points)
A points auction that ended fine — then got grave-dug a month later just for the lulz.
This was an Auctions-board thread where a member sold access to an '8 Digit+' cheat/account using the site's internal 'fkn points' currency, starting the bidding at 100. Legit_Hacks ran the auction and closed it out with Milkrulz04 winning at 490 points. Weeks later the thread got resurrected by a late reply arguing over whether the item was for CS:S or CS 1.6, which drew immediate mockery for necroposting a thread that had been dead over a month.
BIDDING OVER Winner: Milkrulz04, with a bid of 490 fkn points— Legit_Hacks
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMFG y do you grave dig??????— jacal
Fkn0wned Trading Rules & Middle Men Sticky
The rulebook that kept the Steam-account black market from eating itself.
A staff-posted sticky in the Auctions section laying out ground rules for the site's trading scene, mostly Steam/CS accounts and gear. It covers thread etiquette, proof-of-ownership requirements, a ban on stolen accounts and private hacks, and an official middleman system run by four trusted members for buyers and sellers who didn't trust each other. It's a small but telling artifact of how an early cheat-scene forum tried to self-police an unregulated account/item trading economy, right down to naming a known scammer to avoid.
Don't trade with officerowange as he is a known scammer.— Shifty
no proof = no care— Shifty
Auctions Board Index — Fkn0wned.Com
Where fkn0wned members auctioned off Steam accounts, RuneScape characters, CD keys, and — once — someone's soul.
This is the board index for the 'Auctions' section of Fkn0wned.com, a late-2000s gaming/cheat-scene forum. Members listed items for bid using the site's internal point currency, mostly Steam and RuneScape accounts, CD keys for games like COD4, BF2142, and Diablo II, plus oddities like a Tokyo Marui airsoft AK-47 replica and Demonoid invites. Staff (Managers, Co-Managers, Supervisors) kept pinned threads on trading rules and middleman use, reflecting a scene wary enough of scams to formalize its own trade-safety norms. The vibe is classic mid-2000s forum commerce: point-based bidding wars, account flipping, and a tight little economy built around gaming credentials.
My soul— Rwils20
Low Digit Steam Accounts Why are they so wanted?— [Co-Manager] Shifty
SubZero's Free Signature Auction
Someone tried to 'auction' a free custom sig and the forum immediately called foul.
A short-lived thread in Gametration.com's Auctions section where user SubZero offered to make a custom signature graphic (with the recipient's name on it) as an 'auction' item. Other members quickly questioned the legitimacy of the offer, pointing out it wasn't really a trade or auction at all. The thread fizzles out after a few skeptical replies, capturing a small, mundane moment of the site's GFX/trading culture.
I will give you this signature, with your name on it.— SubZero
How is this a trade? Why would anybody want this either?— SpaceOddity09
COD4 CD-Key Auction
Some kid tried to auction off a COD4 key for 'anything worth more than $10' — someone bid a six-pack of Red Bull
A short-lived auction thread where user MicroUltra (posting under the tag '~Teh Hax~') tried to sell a Call of Duty 4 CD-key for whatever anyone would offer above $10. jcomp6 jokingly bid a six-pack of Red Bull, and jacal pointed out the seller likely didn't even meet the forum's 100-post minimum required to trade or sell items. Classic low-stakes Auctions board chatter — half joke, half hustle, nothing serious ever came of it.
a six pack of Red bulls— jcomp6
plus ya need 100 posts to sell/trade— jacal
CURIOUS.. — Thread Reopening Request
A member begs the mods to un-close his auction thread, and gets a mystery solved (sort of)
A short, low-drama post in the Auctions section where user 'haha.1' politely asks admins why his thread got closed and requests it be reopened. Longtime staffer Shifty responds a day later, reopens the thread, hands out a warning to someone flaming in the process, and admits he has no idea who closed it or why — a small glimpse of the everyday moderation shuffle behind the scenes.
excuse me admins why did u close my thread? if can open it again.. plz open and delete this post.. thanx..— haha.1
Sorry dude re-opended your thread although I don't know who closed it and why.— Shifty
RuneScape Level 54 Account Auction
A member auctioned off his RuneScape account for forum points — starting bid 300, deadline Thursday 5pm Melbourne time.
In the Auctions section, member 'fizzer' listed a level 54 RuneScape account (username 'cryzza') for sale, priced starting at 300 [FkN] points, detailing the account's stats and inventory. Fellow member 'Scratch' placed the opening bid and asked about the auction's end time, with fizzer setting a deadline of Thursday at 5pm Australian time. A small, low-key trade thread typical of the site's in-house points economy and cross-game item trading culture.
hey guys im selling a runescape account its lvl 54— fizzer
ill start at 300 points. when does auction end?— Scratch
Demonoid Invite Auction
Back when a Demonoid invite was worth more than half the cheats in the database.
A short auction thread on Gametration.com's Auctions section where user 'banak' offered Demonoid (the legendary private torrent tracker) invites to the highest PM bidder, complete with a screenshot proof link. Only one reply landed from 'SubZero' before the trail goes cold in the archive. A tiny snapshot of the era when invite-only tracker access was serious currency on cheat/gaming forums.
Demonoid invites. Pm me with bid.— banak
Get your facts right!— SubZero
Why Low Digit Steam Accounts Were So Valuable
The eternal n00b question, answered once and for all by Shifty in the Auctions section.
A short explainer post in the Auctions section of Gametration.com addressing a question that apparently got asked constantly in the trading forums: why low-digit Steam account IDs commanded high prices. Shifty, a founding-era member (Member No. 6, later banned), breaks down that lower account numbers indicated older Steam accounts, making them desirable and resellable for real money, even citing eBay as a marketplace. The post has that classic old-forum tone of mild exasperation at repeat questions mixed with community helpfulness.
To many n00bs have asked this question around the forum but mainly in the trading sections so I am going to answer this question here— Shifty
I hope joo understandZ.— Shifty
RuneScape Account Auction (Level 61 'Mage Mackan')
A banned OG member auctions off a level 61 RuneScape account for forum points — peak 2007 internet economy.
A short-lived auction thread in Gametration.com's Auctions subforum, posted by long-time member 'Shifty' (member #6, tagged as Banned by the time of archiving) offering a RuneScape account for sale, priced in the site's internal 'FkN points' currency rather than real money. The post is casual and unsure of its own details, guessing the account's level from a screenshot rather than stating it with confidence. It's a small, quiet relic of the site's internal barter economy, sitting alongside its cheat database and forum categories for CS 1.6/Source, consoles, and trading.
It's level 61 I think. I'm not a Runescape guy, you tell me buy lookin at the screenshot.— Shifty
Cost: Starting at 500 FkN points, good luck.— Shifty
RuneScape Level 95 Account Auction
Someone auctioned off their RuneScape account for forum points back when that was a real currency.
A brief auction listing posted in Gametration.com's Auctions section by user pyeman, offering a level 95 RuneScape account with bidding starting at 400 forum points, set to close the following Monday unless a 3k point bid came in first. Typical of the site's internal points-based trading economy that ran alongside its cheat database and forums. Nothing dramatic here, just a small glimpse of the site's marketplace culture.
bidding starts at 400 points— pyeman
auction ends next monday at midnight gmt or unless some 1 bids 3k points— pyeman
Half-Life 2 Auction, Starting Bid 30 Points
A member auctions off a spare copy of Half-Life 2 for site points, starting bid: 30.
A short auction thread on Gametration's Auctions board where user pyeman offers a spare copy of Half-Life 2 (leftover from buying The Orange Box) for the community's internal point currency, opening the bidding at 30 points. Another regular, mystical1, chimes in early, though the exchange itself is brief and unremarkable. It's a small snapshot of the site's points-based trading culture, common on cheat-scene forums of the era, where physical games and codes got flipped for forum currency instead of real money.
im auctioning a copy of hl2 because i got a spare copy when i got the orange box. bidding starts at 30 points— pyeman
D2 LOD CD Key Auction
A guy named Olie22 tried to auction off an unused Diablo II CD key for site points, because 2007 economics.
A short auction listing from Gametration.com's Auctions subforum, where a member offered an unused Diablo II: Lord of Destruction CD key, starting the bidding at 80 points with a 'buy it now' option for a good enough offer. It's a tiny snapshot of the old cheat-scene forum economy, where members traded and bartered game keys and items using site reputation points instead of cash. The poster, Olie22, was later marked as a banned member, adding a bit of unresolved mystery to the thread.
This D2 LOD cd key is un-used and starts at 80 points post here or PM me if yuor intrested. if sumone bids a kik ass price theirs straight away.— Olie22
BF 2142 CD-Key Auction Listing
One member's old copy of BF 2142 goes up for grabs — starting bid: 10 points
A minor Auctions-board listing from Gametration.com, a cheat-scene forum, where a long-time member with '1000 Club' status ('PaRaNoID') put up a legitimate Battlefield 2142 CD-key for auction, starting the bidding at 10 forum points. The poster clarifies he isn't quitting under any cloud — he just doesn't enjoy the game anymore. A small, everyday glimpse into the site's internal points-based trading economy alongside its cheat database.
Not banned or anything i just hate the game the starting price is 10 points bid away— PaRaNoID
Auction: Server Admin & Control Panel access up for bid
One member auctioned off their own ServerAdmin powers to the highest bidder — bidding started at 1.
A thread in the Auctions section where longtime member 'minitureman' offered to sell ServerAdmin and control panel access to a game server to whoever bid highest, with the option to step down as admin himself. It's a small snapshot of the site's trading culture, where in-game privileges and access were treated like tradeable goods among members.
I am willing to give ServerAdmin and Control panel to the highest bidder i will also remove my server admin or let you bidding starts a 1 gogogo— minitureman
CS:S Gift Pass Auction
An Aussie 'Pro Spammer' auctions off a Counter-Strike: Source guest pass for forum points.
A short auction listing posted in Gametration.com's Auctions section, where member jacal offers a Counter-Strike: Source gift/guest pass, opening bidding at 10 points with the auction closing Sunday midnight EST (Australia time). It's a small slice of the site's internal points economy, where members traded game passes and items for forum currency rather than real money. Nothing dramatic happened here—just a routine trade listing typical of the marketplace culture on these old cheat-scene forums.
hello every one i have a guest pass for CS:S up for grabs ill start at 10 pnts ill end the acct at midnight sunday EST (Australia Time)— jacal
BF 2142 CD-Key Auction Thread
A forgotten Battlefield 2142 key up for auction — bidding starts at 100.
A short, no-frills auction listing in Gametration.com's Auctions section, where a member calling themselves qwerty54 offered a 'legit and unbanned' Battlefield 2142 CD-Key to the community. It's a snapshot of the old cheat-scene marketplace culture, where forum currency and reputation stood in for real trust between strangers. The post is bare-bones: starting bid, a promise the key was clean, and an invite for others to jump in.
Legit and Unbanned. Bidding will start at 100. I'll close once it reaches a fair amount. START YOUR BIDDING— qwerty54
Titan Quest CD-Key Auction
A banned member tries to auction off a Titan Quest CD-key for forum points.
A brief auction listing posted in Gametration.com's Auctions subforum by user qwerty54, offering an original Titan Quest CD-key for bids starting at 100 points. The post is short and transactional, typical of the site's internal points-based trading economy. Notably, the poster's account is tagged 'Banned' at the time of the post, a small irony that hints at the site's churn of members.
Selling an Orignal Titan Quest CD-Key. Bidding will start at 100 Points.— qwerty54
