Selling Sbot Account - $5 USD

A five-dollar account sale, a Paypal gift-fee gripe, and a same-day happy ending.

A quick, unremarkable Market Place listing from December 2009 where member mcm offered an 'Sbot' account for $5 USD. Regular poster misterfopje snapped it up almost immediately, and the two closed out the deal with mutual vouches, though mcm griped a bit about getting stuck with payment fees on the 'gift' transfer. A tiny, mundane snapshot of the site's account-trading economy and its post-count-gated Market Place rules.

Selling Sbot Account, $5 USD. Kind Regards— mcm

good guy, everything went smooth. he went first, payment made, no problems :)— misterfopje

Selling 5-Digit Steam Account (Impossible to Retrieve)

A rare 5-digit Steam ID goes up for auction — bidding opens at $20.

A Market Place listing on Fkn0wned.com where member r0ss put up a 5-digit Steam account for sale, marketed as having no chance of being retrieved by its original owner. ap3x kicked off the bidding at $20 USD before the thread cuts off. It's a small snapshot of the site's old account-trading culture, gated behind the forum's 100-post rule to curb scam accounts.

No chance of getting retrieved!!!— r0ss

I'll start.. I bid $20Usd— ap3x

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

Trading CSS Account for a WoW Game Card

One member's dusty old Steam account, several bumps, and a whole lot of nothing — the eternal Market Place hustle.

A classic Fkn0wned Market Place post: member Agility tries to trade an old Steam account (with CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2, VAC clean, made back in 2006) for a US WoW game card. He posts a screenshot to prove playtime and legitimacy, then bumps the thread repeatedly over about a week with little traction. Fellow member marz offers to keep an eye out, but the thread just fizzles out with no confirmed trade. A small, mundane slice of the forum's barter economy days.

Bump still looking mah nigguhs— Agility

ill see what i can do might look around for one for you— marz

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

Boselect's Miscellaneous Store

One-stop shop for stubs, RAT setups, bot auths, and a hijacked eBay account with 497 feedback — all up for a PM negotiation.

A Market Place vendor thread from fkn0wned.com where user boselect ran a personal storefront hawking a grab-bag of cheat-scene goods: crypter stub packs sold by the batch, game-bot authorization codes, a compromised eBay account, and offers to configure RATs, port forwarding, and stealer tools for a fee. Prices were quoted in small dollar amounts, deals were vouched for via middlemen or Teamviewer proof, and boselect was upfront that stub detection rates and outcomes were pure gamble with no refunds. It's a fairly typical snapshot of the forum's black-market economy at the time, sitting right below official warnings about the 100-post minimum required to sell.

There is no guarantee on how detected the stubs are ... it is all luck of the draw there are no refunds— boselect

i will NOT go first to anybody unless they are staff or have a good rep around here— boselect

Selling 7Dig HL1|HL2|MW2 — Sp4wN's Market Place listing

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

Kimmi's Sticky: Rules & Tools for Buying/Selling Steam Accounts

The pinned Market Place guide every fkn0wned trader had to read before flipping a Steam account.

A locked, stickied post from senior mod Kimmi laying out the Market Place's expectations for anyone buying or selling Steam accounts on the forum. It points members to third-party SteamID/CommunityID lookup tools, tells sellers what info to disclose (games, VAC status, account age, screenshots) and what to hide from screenshots to avoid accounts getting disabled, and reiterates the hard rule that you needed 100 posts before starting a trade thread. It's less a discussion than an official reference thread — pure early-2010s cheat-scene marketplace bureaucracy, back when trading game accounts on forums was routine business.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 100 POSTS BEFORE MAKING A THREAD IN MARKET PLACE!— Kimmi

Make sure you have secured the account long enough so it will NOT get recovered/disabled.— Kimmi

Zeksta's COD 4 Keyshop

9 leftover CoD4 keys, bulk discounts, and a lonely bump nobody answered.

A small Market Place listing where member zeksta tried to sell off a stock of Call of Duty 4 CD keys, offering bulk pricing tiers and a per-customer limit (with wiggle room 'for exceptions'). The thread got one follow-up bump asking why no one was buying, and that's where it ended — a quiet, unremarkable little corner of the marketplace rather than a big event.

Bump, no one at all want a key?— zeksta

Though, exceptions can be made ;)— zeksta

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

FraggerMan's Steam Account Sale Listing

A guy named FraggerMan hawked eleven bundled Steam accounts for as little as five bucks apiece — Half-Life, TF2, and a small pile of forgotten Steam libraries, all up for grabs.

This was a Market Place listing from a member called FraggerMan (tag: /B/LACKUP), offering a numbered lineup of Steam accounts loaded with games like Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2 and its episodes, Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod, Left 4 Dead, and various other mid-2000s titles, priced individually between $5 and $17. The 'TRUSTED' tag in the title reflects the marketplace's informal reputation system, and the thread insists buyers post first rather than the seller — a common trust-building ritual on these kinds of forums. It got one lonely bump two days later and no visible replies, a pretty typical fate for marketplace threads once the initial buyer interest dried up.

I WILL NOT GO FIRST! Post here before adding me.— FraggerMan

SPECIAL SALE!!!!!— FraggerMan

WoW Timecard for Sale/Trade [EU] — marz

A simple EU WoW timecard listing turns into a public scam warning.

A Market Place classified from long-time member 'marz' offering a World of Warcraft EU timecard for sale or trade, plus a low-level EU account, drew little interest until fellow member SupremeTaco chimed in with a public warning that marz had allegedly scammed him before on a BF2 key sale. It's a small snapshot of the forum's Market Place economy and the community-policing that happened in the absence of any formal escrow or verification system.

be cautious this guy has tried scamming before. I bought one bf2 from him once. then i wanted to get one for my friend, but he gave me the same key again. so be catious— SupremeTaco

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

WoW Account Trade: Level 21 Burning Blade Wanted

One lonely 2009 post: a member offering his level 21 Arygos character for a trade, no noobs allowed.

A short, single-post Market Place listing from August 2009 where member xdan38x sought to trade his level 21 World of Warcraft character (Arygos server) for an equivalent level 21+ character on Burning Blade. He noted the character came with some gold and starter gear, linked an Armory profile, and insisted he wouldn't go first in the trade, wary of scammers. The thread got no replies, a small time capsule of the site's account-trading culture and the 100-post rule meant to keep low-effort traders out.

No noobs, I don't go first. So don't bother if you don't trust me.— xdan38x
