Low 5 Digit Have A LoOk

SnEaKyJoKER hawks a dusty low-5-digit Steam ID, bumps it for weeks, and torches a guy who dares question its security.

A Market Place listing where longtime member SnEaKyJoKER tries to sell an old low-5-digit Half-Life/Steam account, touting its 241+ days of inactivity as proof it's 'unretrievable' and safe to buy. The thread drags on for weeks with repeated self-bumps, a lowball $5 joke offer, some price haggling up to $40, and a side blowup where a skeptic (deX-) gets told off in classic forum fashion. A moderator drive-by also reveals that regular poster KreaT!vE got banned mid-thread for allegedly conspiring to leak VIP status.

zEpp's Steam Account Store!

8-digit accounts, $2 a pop, buy-one-get-one deals — and a customer waiting a month for his L4D2 key

A Market Place storefront thread where longtime member zEpp sold 'VAC clean' Steam accounts in bulk tiers by digit-length (8-digit, 7-digit, 6-digit), running sales and price drops as stock moved, and claiming over 500 accounts sold since 2006. Buyers chimed in with thanks and bumps, but at least one customer (Mystery121) publicly complained about a month-long wait for a promised L4D2 account, taking a jab at staffer Tux's handling of it. A moderator (PopTart) stepped in briefly to referee some deleted drama and greenlight the shop reopening.

Users Who Are Banned From the Market Place

The Market Place's official naughty list — starring a scammer who tried to sell Steam accounts on the shoutbox while banned, then got caught red-handed.

Founder TuxifieD opened a running thread listing members banned from the Market Place trading subforum, meant as a public reference for mods and traders. The main drama involved user zEpp, who protested his ban and then almost immediately got caught trying to sell Steam accounts via the shoutbox in defiance of the ban, prompting VIP member Sleeping Forest to post a timestamped call-out log and demand a permanent ban. Other members and staff piled on mockingly, and staff later added a second banned user, Shinobix, to the list.

Selling Steam/Keys/MMOaccs (Unfeared's Market Place listing)

One member's grab-bag garage sale of Steam accounts, CD keys, RuneScape gold, and a modded PSP — bumped for weeks straight

A Market Place classifieds thread from late 2009 where member Unfeared listed a pile of goods for sale: a clean 7-digit Steam account, Warcraft III keys, CoD4 keys, a RuneScape account with gold, an EVE Online account, a modded PSP, and even an Xbox Live gamerscore boosting service. The thread is a slow-burn sales log stretched over months, mostly Unfeared repeatedly 'bumping' the listing while a handful of members trickled in to ask prices or add him on MSN. It ends on a mundane, very-2009 note when Unfeared reveals his own Xbox got banned, killing off the gamerscore boost part of his business.

Afteryou's JTAG Xbox 360 Shop

The forum's resident 'GoD of Porn' was selling pre-jtagged 360s straight out of the Market Place — but could you even go online with one anymore?

A Market Place listing from longtime member Afteryou advertising modified (JTAG'd) Xbox 360 consoles for sale, complete with photos. The thread quickly turns into a back-and-forth about whether jtagged consoles could still get online safely after a Live update, with skeptics citing friends who got banned and vouchers insisting Afteryou was legit and that workarounds existed. Classic early-2010s console-modding marketplace energy, with community vets like vermiLLion and xXHeistXx stepping in to defend the seller's reputation.

Andr3zit0's Shop [Trusted] — Steam Account Marketplace Thread

The go-to Steam account dealer of Fkn0wned's Market Place, moving CS:S, TF2, and MW2-loaded accounts for as little as $6 a pop.

This was a long-running vendor thread in the Fkn0wned Market Place where member andr3zit0 listed bundles of Steam accounts (loaded with everything from Half-Life and Counter-Strike to Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2) plus the occasional CD key, updating stock every few days with prices, 'account value' estimates, and colorful BBCode formatting. Buyers negotiated deals over MSN rather than in-thread, and several regulars, including a site Smod, vouched for smooth trades, earning the shop its '[Trusted]' tag. It's a solid snapshot of the era's gray-market Steam account trading scene that thrived on gaming forums before Steam locked things down harder.

For Sale: Left 4 Dead 2 Account Plus 26 Other Games

A phished L4D2 account goes up for sale — and everyone in the thread just wants to know if it'll get yanked back first

VIP member DvS listed a Steam account (openly noted as phished) bundled with 26 other games, including Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Fallout 3, Street Fighter 4, and some Half-Life titles, asking for PayPal only. Several regulars, including Slickz and Rock Superstar, warned that L4D2 accounts obtained this way were getting instantly recovered by their original owners, sparking a back-and-forth about whether the thread should even be allowed to stand. DvS kept posting updates tracking whether the account had been reclaimed yet, while buyers like vermiLLion and EAGER lingered, waiting to see if it would survive long enough to purchase. It's a small, everyday snapshot of the Market Place grind: stolen goods, skepticism, and a slow-motion countdown to repossession.

Steam Shop by Rock Superstar

The forum's resident Steam account dealer, taking PayPal only, no trades — and the receipts to prove he was legit.

A Market Place storefront thread run by longtime member Rock Superstar, reselling old Steam accounts bundled with games like Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Orange Box, and Left 4 Dead. He explicitly demanded PayPal only (no trades, no going first) and backed his reputation with a wall of customer testimonials. The thread ran from May to July 2009 with periodic bumps, sale confirmations, and casual back-and-forth with buyers over MSN, plus the occasional skeptic asking if the accounts were phished.

Selling WoW Account 135OBO

A VIP member auctioned off his epic-geared WoW account for $135 OBO — and got dragged into a T9 gear argument instead

A VIP member named iluvnic posted a Market Place listing selling a Battle.net World of Warcraft account (a Blood Elf Priest) decked out in epic healing/DPS gear, gold, mounts and titles, asking $135 OBO via PayPal. The thread devolved into lowball bids, suspicion from other members about whether the account was phished/keylogged, and a lengthy, increasingly heated off-topic argument between members Agility and NoNamE! about the fastest way to farm Tier 9 gear in-game. It's a good little time capsule of the era's account-trading culture and forum bickering, complete with 100-post trading rules and PayPal 'no chargebacks' disclaimers.

[SOURCE] FkNCrypter 0.21 Source Code — inSpired's for-sale thread

inSpired put the FkNCrypter source code up for $100 — and the comment section immediately started haggling over whether it was even worth it.

A December 2009 Market Place listing where [FkN] Security Crew member inSpired auctioned off the VB6 source code for FkNCrypter 0.21, explaining he was moving on to build a new online crypter from scratch. The thread drew a handful of regulars debating detection status, price, and whether paying for crypter source was worth it versus grabbing one free elsewhere. Founder TuxifieD chimed in approvingly, while others like conTagious and linkkrw pushed back on the value proposition — a classic slice of the era's cheat/crypter marketplace haggling.

That's right, the FkNCrypter 0.21 source-code is for sale!— inSpired

[Selling] Legitimate Microsoft Product Keys — ckgx's Market Place Thread

A member hawked cut-rate Windows 7 and Office keys for as little as a buck a pop — cue the immediate 'sounds like bullshit' pushback.

In the Market Place section, longtime member ckgx ran a storefront-style thread selling Microsoft product keys (Windows 7, Vista, XP, Office 2007, Visual Studio, Server editions, and volume license keys), claiming they were sourced legitimately via MSDN rather than keygens. Fellow member Mystik immediately challenged the legitimacy of the keys, prompting ckgx to offer proof and eventually a 'team view' to skeptics. Over the following weeks ckgx repeatedly dropped prices and bumped the thread for sales, and staff members PopTart and vermiLLion weighed in — with PopTart vouching for ckgx as a legit seller after buying a key himself, while also noting a separate free giveaway thread existed for higher-post-count members. The thread captures the casual, semi-shady grey-market energy typical of early forum marketplaces, complete with PayPal 'gift' payment requests and no-download-links caveats.

Why would I scam someone for 5 bucks?— ckgx

Bulk Crysis and Call of Duty 4 CD-Keys

Bulk-buy CoD4 and Crysis keys, tiered pricing, replacement guarantee — until the mods pulled the plug when stock ran dry.

A member named inSpired ran a Market Place listing offering large batches of Call of Duty 4 and Crysis CD-keys at bulk discount pricing, with a FAQ covering banned-key replacements and resale policy. A couple of buyers left positive testimonials confirming working keys, while others asked (unsuccessfully) about Steam compatibility. The thread was eventually auto-closed by founder TuxifieD once all keys sold out, a routine but telling snapshot of the forum's grey-market key-reselling scene.

iPredict's list [5,6,7,8 Digit Steams]

The old Steam account bazaar: a guy called Botoxx hawking low-digit accounts to the highest (lowest-rep-first) bidder

A Market Place listing thread from October 2009 where user Botoxx advertised a running stock of old Steam accounts (identified by their low digit-count Steam IDs) for sale via PayPal and MSN deals. The thread follows the classic marketplace format: rules about trust order, disputes over selling-only vs trading, and a steady stream of bumps as buyers reported 'smooth' transactions and requested specific digit-count accounts. It's a small, mundane slice of the era's account-flipping economy, complete with a buyer joking about the accounts probably being phished.

SELLING Steams! — 1up's account bazaar

A VIP member hawks a stash of low-digit Steam accounts, and the forum just keeps bumping it for him.

In this Market Place thread from November 2009, VIP member '1up' listed a batch of Steam accounts (6, 7, and 8-digit IDs) for sale, posting screenshots and STEAM_ID prefixes on request and insisting on PayPal with an admin/Smod middleman option for trust. Several members vouched for him as a reliable trader over the following weeks, while others asked about trades, digit numbers, or just dropped bumps to keep the listing alive. The thread is a fairly ordinary slice of the site's account-trading economy — low digit Steam IDs were treated as status/collector items back then — livened up only by repeated 'bump' spam and one memorable enthusiastic bump from Slickz.

Shiney's Vouch Thread

The receipts thread for a VIP trader who dealt in keys, hacks, and MegaUpload accounts — nobody ever came back with a complaint.

This is a Market Place 'User Review' thread, essentially a vouch/feedback page for a VIP member named Shiney. Over about seven months (mid-2009 into early 2010), a string of other members chimed in confirming smooth deals — swaps involving game keys, a hack, Steam accounts, an MSDN invite, and a MegaUpload lifetime account. It reads like a trust ledger typical of the era's gaming/cheat scene market boards, where reputation was built one 'legit, would deal again' post at a time. No drama here — just a clean, glowing track record.

Selling Beast RuneScape Acc! (Mystik's Market Place listing)

A Market Place listing from veteran member Mystik offering a high-level RuneScape account (121 quest points, loaded members-items bank) for sale, with strict 'I don't go first' terms and MSN-only negotiation. A couple of members expressed interest and haggled over price via PM, one got warned for a low-effort 'pmub' spam bump, and the thread mostly consists of Mystik repeatedly bumping their own post over several days trying to close a sale. Classic era-appropriate RS account flipping thread, capped off with a last-minute buyer dropping their MSN in the replies.

Selling Steam Accounts - i dont hack's storefront

A guy named 'i dont hack' spent weeks hawking cheap Steam accounts by digit count, PayPal 'gift' only, no dispute allowed.

A Market Place listing thread from late October to early November 2009 where user 'i dont hack' advertised a rotating stock of old Steam accounts (categorized by how many digits were in the account ID, with games like CS, CS:S, HL2, TF2, and Orange Box attached) for a few dollars each, plus one pricier 5-digit account. The thread is mostly repeated bumps, small updates as items sold or got held for buyers, and a couple of members like KreaT!vE, 123dome, Mystery121, and lightsora poking in to ask about specific accounts or joke around. It's a classic slice of the era's account-flipping market culture, complete with the forum's 100-post rule to even be allowed to trade.

mcm Tries to Sell His Steam Account, Gets Shut Down in 5 Posts

Guy lists his Steam account (MW2! Orange Box! Portal!) for sale — mods lock it before the bidding even gets past $15

Member 'mcm' posted his personal Steam account for sale in the Market Place, listing its game library (Half-Life series, Orange Box, CS:S, MW2, TF2, Garry's Mod) and asking for bids. A couple of replies followed — one lowballing the expected value, one telling him to read the rules, and 'marz' opening the bidding at $15 — before staff smod Kimmi locked the thread for violating the Market Place's 100-post minimum requirement for trading threads. A quick, minor example of the forum's strict trade-rule enforcement in action.

CHEAPP 7 DIG! — a $5 Counter-Strike account sale gone nowhere

A 7-digit Steam ID, a $5 price tag, and a deal that stalled out over trust and a broken MSN add

In this Market Place thread, VIP member ///xcF advertised a cheap Counter-Strike: Source account (tied to a low, 7-digit Steam ID) for $5 via PayPal, calling out its 'safety' because the original owner hadn't logged in for 200 days. Prospective buyer holybloody haggled over trust and payment logistics, the two tried to move to MSN to finish the deal faster, and the conversation fizzled out amid delivery errors and a skeptical aside from another member, Rock, about the classic 'buy it and change the password' account-hijack risk. A later member, Shiney, bumped the thread weeks afterward just asking if the account was still available — met with silence, as the topic ends there.

Buying custom email

Kid wants to pay someone to fake an @blizzard.com address — mods smell a WoW phishing scheme instantly

A member offered to pay someone to craft a custom email address ending in 'blizzard.com', which forum regulars quickly clued into as a likely attempt to phish World of Warcraft accounts. A [FkN] Crew member pointed out this could be done for free with an existing tutorial (used legitimately for fkn0wned.com email suffixes) rather than paying anyone, while another member correctly called out the real motive. The thread was closed by staff once the point was made that no payment was necessary and the intent was suspect.

User Review board (Market Place reputation threads)

Where every trade lived or died on rep — one bad SteamShop deal and your name was mud forever.

This was Fkn0wned's User Review subforum under Market Place, basically the community's vouch/feedback system — members opened personal threads asking anyone they'd traded with to post reviews, alongside scattered scam reports calling out shady traders. It's a dense index of individual reputation threads from mid-to-late 2009, spanning Steam account/key trades, general item trades, and at least one named scammer callout. The vibe is classic self-policing marketplace culture: no escrow, no mods babysitting deals, just public feedback threads and the occasional 'scammer' thread trying to warn people off.

[WTS] 6digit #38 games — wario123's Steam account listing

A guy tried to sell his loaded old-school Steam account for $50, and by December he'd already lost track of it

A Market Place listing where member wario123 tried to offload a low-numbered ('6 digit') Steam account bundled with 38 early Valve/indie titles, asking $50-55 with the classic PayPal-gift-and-don't-dispute routine of the era. A crew member immediately ribbed him for having to grind 20 posts just to hit the forum's 100-post trading minimum. The thread limped along with a couple of bumps, then went cold for three weeks until a VIP asked if the account was still available — by which point wario123 said no, offering two 8-digit accounts instead. A random low-post noob dropped their email in the last reply, a fittingly awkward close to a sale that never visibly closed.

Within minutes, another member and two staffers (a moderator and a super-mod) piled on to point out he didn't meet the forum's 100-post minimum to trade, and the thread was swiftly locked by staff.

A guy accidentally paypal'd himself $5 and the marketplace tried to auction off everything from crypters to... other services.

Silent82 posted a lighthearted Market Place thread asking for offers on how to spend a stray $5 sitting in an unverified PayPal account he couldn't transfer back. Responses ranged from joke offers to a genuine suggestion to buy a FUD crypter, with Silent82 asking about antivirus detection rates. The thread is a small, goofy snapshot of the forum's Market Place culture, mixing crude humor with cheat-scene shoptalk.

Runescape Store: Speedo's Stolen Account Sale

One VIP, four hijacked Runescape accounts, and a month of relentless bumping in the name of desperately needed cash.

VIP member Speedo posted a Market Place listing selling four Runescape accounts for a few bucks each via PayPal, openly stating they were stolen and that he didn't know the security info attached to them. The thread's real content is mostly the sale terms (no refunds, no trades, buyer beware) followed by nearly a month of Speedo repeatedly bumping his own thread with one-word posts, occasionally joined by other members poking fun at the bump spam. It's a small, blunt snapshot of the forum's black-market side and the shameless self-bump culture common in its Market Place section.

Selling salutations at any price !

A VIP member tried to sell "salutations" for $100, got roasted, and got the thread locked in under 24 hours.

In the Market Place board, member holybloody posted a tongue-in-cheek offer to sell "salutations" for $100 via a donate button in his signature, seemingly poking fun at Market Place rules while trying to skirt the 100-post trading requirement. The thread quickly drew mockery from other members over his VIP status and the absurdity of the offer. An admin closed the topic for violating the 100-post trading rule and stripped the donation links, capping off a short, comedic, rule-violating blip typical of the board's throwaway joke posts.

WTS/WTT Cafe Account — the 'stole it from my local cafe' thread

Guy tries to sell a cybercafe account he admits to stealing, gets immediately called out.

In the Market Place section, member hitmanre posted a for-sale listing for a 'legit' internet cafe gaming account, only to casually admit under questioning that he'd stolen it from his local cafe. VIP members XpliciteR and DvS ProSpammer quickly pointed out that stolen cafe accounts almost always get reclaimed by the owner, prompting hitmanre to sheepishly agree to hold off on selling for a couple weeks to see if it survives. A small, mundane slice of the forum's account-trading marketplace culture, with a bit of dry mod-scene cynicism thrown in.

Paypal

A member wanted a 'free PayPal hack' and offered up his Steam account and a co-leader spot in return — the forum shut him down in three replies.

A low-post-count member named paul985 posted in the Market Place asking for a supposed 'PayPal hack' that would generate free money, offering his Steam account and a co-leadership role in a clan he planned to build as payment. He almost immediately realized he hadn't met the 100-post minimum required to post in the Market Place and asked for the thread to be locked. Two more senior members, misterfopje and Kimmi, chimed in mainly to clarify that no such 'PayPal hack' exists, with Kimmi vaguely suggesting logging as an alternative. The thread is a quick, mildly amusing snapshot of naive newbie requests and the community's blunt reality-checks.

I am looking for some free paypal money. If anyone could give me a paypal hack with proof that it works, I will give them my steam acct.— paul985

Selling 4 Digit Steam Account

A low-digit Steam account sells in minutes flat on the Fkn0wned market — back when a '4 digit' account was serious bragging rights.

A quick Market Place listing from December 2009 where member Esk0 offered up a coveted low-numbered ('4 digit') Steam account, complete with CS and CS:S, for PayPal only. It sold within minutes, prompting a couple of members to ask about pricing on his remaining 6/7/8 digit accounts. A snapshot of the era's account-trading culture and the forum's 100-post minimum rule for market threads.

[Buy] Counter-Strike 1.6 steam-nonsteam attacker

New guy asks to buy a server-nuking tool, gets roasted and shut down in five replies flat.

A brand-new member with only two posts tried to buy a Counter-Strike 1.6 'flooder/attacker' tool to take down game servers, violating the Market Place's 100-post minimum requirement right out of the gate. Veteran member f0wh shot down the request as unrealistic and pointed him toward a botnet setup elsewhere instead, while the OP's own post (self-deprecating and rude in the same breath) didn't help his case. Admin ap3x locked the thread almost immediately, citing f0wh's reasoning as justification.

Trading LifeTime Megaupload Account (18k points)

One member's lifetime Megaupload account, up for trade for a CoD4 key — with a full reputation-based haggling ritual attached.

A Market Place classifieds thread from December 2009 where user mutantcookie offered to trade a lifetime Megaupload premium account (18k points) specifically for a legit CoD4: Modern Warfare key or Steam account. The post laid out a whole reputation-based trust system for who goes first in the trade, and directed interested parties to add him on MSN only after posting in-thread. A handful of members (mcm, hitmanre, Shiney) chimed in with simple 'added' replies, a mod (ap3x) had to clean up a spam post, and mutantcookie closed the thread out a week and a half later confirming the trade was done.

Trading steam account for a modded Xbox 360 controller

One guy tried to swap his old 8-digit Steam account for a rapid-fire controller — the forum was not impressed.

In the Market Place section, longtime member 2QuiK offered up an old, non-VAC-banned Steam account (loaded with CS 1.6, CSS, Condition Zero, DoD:S, and Garry's Mod) in exchange for a modded Xbox 360 rapid-fire controller. Other members quickly pushed back on the valuation, pointing out that modded controllers were worth far more than an old 8-digit Steam account, with one member bluntly pricing the account at only $5-10. The thread fizzles out with a joking non-offer from another user who'd tossed his own controller in a pond, and no trade appears to have gone through.

Modded Controllers are like 100$— MrThirsty

15$ Level 56 Hunter Night Elf WoW Account for Sale

A dusty WoW account listing for fifteen bucks, complete with a nerd-jab and a bot confession.

A Market Place listing from longtime member ABACABB offering a level 56 Night Elf hunter account, claiming original ownership and a cheap $15 price tag. The thread quickly derails from the sale itself into a couple of one-liners about WoW being for nerds and running bots on the account. Typical low-stakes account trading thread from the forum's Market Place section, gated behind the 100-post rule to sell.

Selling my WOW account (Nossel the Undead Death Knight)

A level 80 Death Knight, some gold, and a lowball roast — classic 2009 Market Place energy.

killerkid2230 listed his World of Warcraft account for sale in the Fkn0wned Market Place, featuring a heavily-geared level 80 Undead Death Knight main plus a level 64 Shaman and level 21 Priest alt, complete with an Armory link, gold total, and epic mounts. A handful of members poked around with lowball questions and trade offers (including one asking to swap a Steam account), while the thread ends with a regular bluntly clowning the DK's gear as overrated. It's a small, mundane slice of the forum's account-trading culture rather than a dramatic event, but it captures the casual buy/sell/roast rhythm of the era.

I will accept anything for it, preferably money though. Please make an offer for my account. Note: I will NOT go first.— killerkid2230

Steams ~ 7/8 Digits ~ L4D/L4D2/CSS/1.6 (darkblood24's sale thread)

Steam accounts sold like penny candy — 'lower rep first, higher last,' PayPal gift only, replacements guaranteed if 'retrieved.'

A Market Place listing from darkblood24 offering old low-digit Steam accounts (7 and 8-digit) bundled with games like L4D, L4D2, CS/CSS, and Half-Life, priced $5-$10 with a 24-hour replacement guarantee. The thread quietly hints at the account-farming economy of the era — buyers negotiated over MSN/Xfire, and reputation order mattered more than trust. A couple of replies followed: one buyer couldn't reach the seller, and longtime member f0wh (Retired and Respected, one of the forum's old guard) flagged that one of the listed accounts looked freshly phished, right after L4D2's launch — a small but telling moment of community skepticism amid the account trading.

S> Steam Account (h4voCK's Market Place Listing)

A member sells off his personal VAC-clean Steam account for $20 — a tiny time capsule of the pre-Steam-Guard era.

A short Market Place listing where longtime member h4voCK offers his personal Steam account for sale, no trades accepted, and states he won't go first unless dealing with a trusted FkN member. Smod PopTart chimes in to ask basic vetting questions (digit count, VAC status), which h4voCK answers plainly. Four days later a low-post member, juzzy, drops a lowball $20 offer with a personal email — a good snapshot of how casual and low-stakes account trading was on the board back then.

COD MW2 Steams - Market Place

One member wanted a cheap Steam account for MW2, another sold one for $15 via MSN — that's the whole 2010 economy right there.

A short, low-key Market Place thread from April 2010 where user [C]hrome asked for a 'safe and reliable' MW2 Steam account. j00j07 offered one for sale for $15 (with a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 account also mentioned), directing the deal to MSN messenger. A couple of days later Etern1ty chimed in with a 'WTB' (want to buy) reply. It's a tiny, mundane slice of the site's account/key trading scene, notable mostly as a snapshot of how casually accounts were bought and sold on fkn0wned back in the day.

Selling Google Wave Invitations

A dude tried to sell $2 invites to a free Google product — the forum immediately called it out

A brief Market Place listing from November 2009 where member adamdafoo tried flipping Google Wave invitations (a then-hot, invite-only Google product) for $2 apiece via PayPal. Fellow members quickly clapped back, pointing out he was charging for something Google gave out for free, turning the thread into a small running joke rather than an actual sale. A snapshot of the invite-scarcity hustle culture around Google Wave's launch, filtered through classic forum ribbing.

Cafe Account for Sale (Market Place, Dec 2009)

One member tries to flip a mystery 'cafe account' — and shoots down a lowball $50 offer for having too few forum posts.

A short-lived Market Place listing from December 2009 where longtime member hitmanre tried to sell/trade a 'cafe account' he'd held for about five weeks, claiming it was unlikely to be reclaimed. VIP member Jonesyyf jokingly offered his life for it, while a lower-post-count member's $50 bid got publicly dismissed for not being 'trustworthy' enough. The thread is a small snapshot of the forum's account/item trading culture and its 100-post Market Place rule.

Trading / Looking for 7 Digit Account

Two Steam accounts, one low-digit dream — classic Market Place bait that fizzled fast.

A Market Place listing where user sunshinehorror offered up two Steam accounts (an 11-million and a 31-million numbered account, stacked with games like CSS, L4D2, 1.6, DOD, and HL2 titles) in hopes of trading both for a single coveted 7-digit account. An [FkN] admin, ap3x, swooped in mainly to relocate the thread to the correct subforum and point to the market rules. The OP thanked the mod and tried a lone bump, but the thread shows no further bites — a quiet, unremarkable trade attempt typical of the Market Place grind.

EAGER's cashing out his PayPal for a whopping $4.30 to buy a Counter-Strike: Source account

A quick Market Place post from EAGER, offering the last $4.30 in his PayPal (which he was closing) to buy a low-digit, non-VAC'd CSS account before it disappeared for good. A couple of members chimed in pointing him toward another user's account thread and offering an 8-digit account with CSS and DOD:S bundled in. Classic tiny-budget forum trading thread, low-effort but of its time.

Wanted: Steam Account with Left 4 Dead 2

One member's hunting for an L4D2 account and offering a stack of other Steam games in trade — but the crew warns him it's probably a lost cause.

A short Market Place thread from December 2009 where user Daimarus put out a request for a Steam account containing Left 4 Dead 2, offering to trade several other Steam accounts (with CSS, TF2, CS 1.6, and more) in return. Another member, darkblood24, claimed to have one and reached out off-forum. A staff member, ap3x, chimed in to note that L4D2 accounts were notoriously easy for original owners to reclaim, making this kind of trade risky. The thread fizzled out after a bump with no confirmed deal shown.

Just to let you know, this is going to be hard to come by. L4D2 accounts will almost always get retrieved.— ap3x

Selling RapidShare Accounts! (Market Place, Dec 2009)

Steam and RapidShare accounts, cheap, no questions asked — classic Fkn0wned Market Place hustle.

A VIP member named 1up posted a Market Place listing hawking RapidShare and Steam accounts (Modern Warfare, CSS, L4D, low-digit accounts), plugging his separate 'selling steams' thread alongside it. A quick exchange followed where fellow member bl1ss questioned whether the accounts were phished, with albator vouching that they were legit since the seller had access to the account's email. The thread is short, only four posts, ending with 1up bumping his own listing days later. It's a small but representative snapshot of the informal account-trading economy that ran through the forum's Market Place section.

One-post wonder tries to sell a Steam account, gets insta-slapped and locked in under a minute.

A brand-new member with a single post attempted to sell a Steam account bundled with Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and 1.6, asking for PayPal or premium days in return. Market Place moderator PopTart shut it down almost immediately, pointing out the seller hadn't met the required 100-post minimum to post in the trading section. The thread was locked within a minute of being posted, a classic case of a newcomer not reading the rules.

Need COD:MW key / Trade for 7dig

New guy tries to trade before hitting 100 posts, gets clowned in two replies flat

A brand-new member with only 10 posts posted in the Market Place looking to trade or acquire a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare key for a 7digital account, apparently without reading the board's 100-post minimum requirement for trading threads. A veteran [FkN] Crew member immediately called out the rule violation, and the thread's own auto-generated warn note mockingly flagged the poster as needing to 'learn how to read the rules.' A tiny, forgettable exchange, but a perfect little snapshot of Market Place gatekeeping culture circa 2009.

Trade a Demonoid Invite for a Jordan Flight Club Code

A brief 2010 Market Place listing where longtime member tracyfan_1 offered to trade a coveted Demonoid invitation code for an invite to the Jordan Flight Club forum. The thread got exactly one reply, from newer member cixxa, who simply asked what a 'Jordan Flight Club' invitation even was — and the trade appears to have died right there.

Admin ap3x closed the thread within an hour, citing the Market Place's 100-post minimum requirement for selling and adding a sarcastic remark about not being interested in the deal.
