STEAM ACCOUNT GIVEAWAY(ALMOST) 1 per account aka $1.60

A guy sold off a stack of admittedly phished Steam accounts for a buck or two apiece, and nobody blinked.

In the Market Place section of Fkn0wned.com, member RossCopland listed a batch of Steam accounts (loaded with CS:S, Half-Life, Garry's Mod, Portal, etc.) for sale at rock-bottom prices, openly disclosing upfront that the accounts were phished. Staff/crew member Hatred! quickly stepped in to insist sellers must disclose phished status so buyers don't get scammed out of their money. Several members haggled over prices and claimed specific numbered accounts, with at least one sale confirmed and the thread trailing off into low-effort replies and account requests. It's a small, blunt snapshot of the era's account-trading marketplace, where stolen accounts were bought and sold semi-openly under a thin veneer of forum rules.

FYI THESE ACCOUNTS ARE PHISHED— RossCopland

You must say if these accounts are phished so people dont buy and end up getting there accounts and money taken from them— Hatred!

1$ ==> account 1 css , fear 2, garrys mod, hl2 ?? o*O— PMN

Steam Accounts For Sale (ap3x-shop, Aug 2009)

Two of the marketplace's biggest names team up to flip stolen Steam accounts — VAC clean, guaranteed no aftercare.

A Market Place listing from August 2009 where VIP members xcF and ap3x jointly advertised a batch of Steam accounts (loaded with titles like the Valve Complete Pack, TF2, Half-Life 2, and Garry's Mod) for sale via an external site, ap3x-shop.com. Ap3x openly admitted the accounts had been 'phished for at least 1 month' and disclaimed any responsibility once buyers took possession. The thread is a typical low-stakes marketplace grind: bumps, a rejected lowball offer from a user without enough forum posts to legally trade, an unrelated WoW account swap pitch, and a running joke about the site's 100-post minimum rule for buying/selling.

ALL ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN PHISHED FOR AT LEAST 1 MONTH. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO THE ACCOUNTS ONCE THEY LEAVE OUR HANDS.— ap3x

Yes, it's true, xcF and ap3x, two of the most prominent names in the FkN marketplace are teaming up to do stuff.— ap3x

Post count shouldn't matter if I'm going first. What difference will 70 posts make, they're just a bunch of words.— Jinx!

Selling Steams (Market Place, Aug 2009)

A VIP member openly hawking phished Steam accounts by digit-count pricing, vouched for by fellow traders — a snapshot of the forum's shady account trade in full swing.

A vintage Market Place thread from August 2009 where user hoOkz advertises a batch of phished Steam accounts (CS 1.6 and some CS:S) for sale, pricing them by how short/desirable the account's digit ID was. Other members jump in asking about CS:S-specific accounts, adding contacts on MSN, and vouching for hoOkz's trustworthiness in the 'trading scene.' It's a plain look at the casual, normalized account-trading economy that ran through this forum's Off Topic Market Place, complete with the required 100-post rule to prevent scam threads.

I am well trusted around the trading scene and shad0wz can vouche for this— hoOkz

This guy's a fucking legend... very trust worthy. Oh the KeyHunt days..— shad0wz

I have one with CSS on it but its banned from most Australian servers— hoOkz

Lookin for a Trusted ESL Account

One member wanted an ESL account with clean rep — the thread that had to explain what ESL even was

A short Market Place thread from August 2009 where a member asked around for a 'trusted' ESL (European gaming league) account free of penalty points. Other members chimed in confused about what ESL even was, with one pointing out you could just make a free account, before another clarified the real ask was for an account with built-up trust and reputation rather than a fresh one. A pretty mundane, small-scale exchange typical of the forum's Market Place section, gated behind a 100-post minimum to curb account trading spam.

looking for a trusted esl account with no penalty points— iownu

you want an ESL account? why? you can make one for free. lol— parkie

you gain trust and reputation on your account. so he wants one with good rep etc— jonneh28

Selling Low-Digit Steams :)

A VIP hawks a low-digit Steam account with the Valve Complete Pack — and the bidding war stalls out around $30

A VIP member named ap3x ran an auction-style listing for a low-digit, VAC-clean Steam account bundled with the Valve Complete Pack, plugging his own external site (ap3x-shop.com) as the 'real' storefront for a fuller list of accounts. A handful of members chimed in with lowball bids climbing from $20 to $30, with ap3x nudging them to bid in $5 increments and vouching for the account's legitimacy without offering hard proof. It's a small, quiet slice of the old Market Place subforum's Steam account trade scene, gated behind the classic 100-post requirement to keep out scammer alts.

I CAN PROVIDE ANY TYPE OF PROOF FOR ANY ACCOUNT HERE, JUST ASK.— ap3x

Cool, a $20 offer. Bump it up!!— ap3x

From now on please make bids in $5 increments, that's just ridiculous.— ap3x

a-lusion's cheap steam store

A 'trusted staff member' openly hawking stolen Steam accounts for PayPal, right in the Market Place.

This was a Market Place listing from user a-lusion, a long-time member with 'trusted staff' status, advertising cheap Steam accounts (explicitly noted as stolen but held for over a week) priced from a few dollars, payable via PayPal with a vouch-after-payment system. The post included boilerplate disclaiming responsibility if accounts got disabled or VAC banned, and a scripted line buyers were told to paste into PayPal to avoid disputes. It's a good snapshot of the shadier corner of the site's economy, where account trading and cheat culture overlapped with casual scamming risk. Only one reply from SnEaKyJoKER appears in the captured page.

PAYPAL ONLY! You must vouch after payment.— a-lusion

accounts are stolen, but had for over a week— a-lusion

If the accounts gets disabled/vacced I hold no responsibility.— a-lusion

demonicxkid12's Steam Account Store (saving up for SAT books)

A user sells a stack of Steam accounts to fund his SAT prep books — 2010s internet in one thread.

A Market Place listing where user demonicxkid12 offered several Steam/CS accounts for sale via PayPal, openly noting they were 'stolen, but had for over a week,' with prices ranging from $2-$6. The thread is a small time-capsule of the forum's account-trading culture, complete with scam-avoidance rules, VAC-clean claims, and the classic disclaimer language buyers had to paste into PayPal notes. One reply from adriandvinsk shows a buyer following up over MSN/PM. The 'gotta pay for SAT books' aside gives it an oddly wholesome, very-2009 teenager vibe.

gotta pay for SAT books :O— demonicxkid12

accounts are stolen, but had for over a week— demonicxkid12

add me on msn, i sent in pm =]— adriandvinsk

Trade for a Working BF2 CD Key

Lost his Battlefield 2 key, offered up half his game shelf to get it back

A member named Soldier32 posted in the Market Place looking to trade for a working Battlefield 2 CD key after losing his own when he switched computers. He offered a growing list of other game keys in trade (Rise & Fall, Empire: Total War, C&C Tiberium Wars, Medieval 2, Halo, Call of Duty), but one reply asked about Steam accounts instead, and Soldier32 admitted he was broke after buying a new PC. The thread ends with a lonely 'bump' and a sad emoticon, with no successful trade on record.

I lost my BF2 CD Key and there is no way really to recover it since I used it on my old computer and now I'm on my new.— Soldier32

bump... desperately need— Soldier32

u got steam accounts? ill give u 2— hitmanre

Selling Steam Account (with a phishing slip-up)

A member casually flips 'phished' Steam accounts on the marketplace board — and even labels them that way himself.

A market-place listing from August 2009 where user AxeSting offers Steam accounts loaded with games like Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike Source for PayPal payment. The thread updates over a few posts as accounts sell and new ones get added to the list — notably, later listings are openly labeled 'Phished' accounts rather than owned ones. A staff/crew member steps in only to nudge him to edit his original post instead of double-posting new listings. A quiet, low-drama trading thread, but a small time-capsule of the era's casual attitude toward account theft on gaming forums.

Alright selling 2 Steam Accounts. Only accepting money through paypal, payer goes first, msg me with your offer.— AxeSting

Current Steam Accounts Still Up For Sale Phished— AxeSting

Please edit the posts when you add more accounts.— r0ss

Trading ... for CSS

A member wants to swap a Killing Floor or TF2 account for Counter-Strike: Source — cue the MSN addresses.

A short, unremarkable Market Place listing from August 2009 where user radonn offered to trade a Killing Floor or TF2 account for a CSS one. A couple of members (SnEaKyJoKER, caketin) chimed in with their MSN contact info to negotiate off-thread, which was the norm for account trading at the time. Nothing dramatic happened — just a small slice of the forum's everyday economy of game account swaps, gated behind the board's 100-post minimum rule to curb scam accounts.

Trading A killing floor account -or- A TF2 account. Please respond— radonn

add me at msn please thanx— SnEaKyJoKER

Selling 4 Digit

A guy tries to auction off his low-digit Steam account for more than $95, but the bids just aren't coming.

A Market Place thread on Fkn0wned where member Speedo attempted to sell a '4 digit' account (likely a low Steam/account ID, a status symbol in this community), closing out the bidding after feeling lowballed at $95 with no bites for three days. Other members, including hoOkz, chime in asking for proof of purchase before anyone commits, while SnEaKyJoKER also drops into the thread. It's a small, everyday slice of the forum's account-trading economy, gated behind the site's 100-post minimum rule to curb scam accounts.

i can get more than just $95 off of this, and nobody has bidded in 3 days.— Speedo

Do you have any kind of proof of purchase for this account??— hoOkz

Selling 6 digs

A [FkN] Crew regular hawks a batch of old Steam accounts in the Market Place — $20 bids and all.

A short 2009 Market Place listing where longtime member Spaz offered six 'digs' (compromised/aged Steam accounts) with various CS 1.6, CS:S, HL2 and other game licenses attached, noting quirks like one account having no visible SteamID page and another dormant for 54 days. Member Jinx! quickly countered with a $20 offer for the second account. The thread is a small, ordinary snapshot of the site's account-trading economy, gated behind the board's 100-post minimum rule to curb scam accounts.

1st One has no steam_id page 2nd one, no one has logged on in 54 days Offer?— Spaz

$20 for second.— Jinx!

SneakyJoker's Steam Account Sale Thread (Marketplace)

A guy hawking a dozen Steam accounts by the digit-count, until a VIP shows up to slap him with the rulebook

A Market Place thread from August 2009 where user SnEaKyJoKER listed a batch of Steam accounts (labeled by 7 or 8-digit IDs) for sale, complete with game libraries and asking prices, offering bulk discounts and payment via PayPal. It reads as a fairly routine account-flipping post typical of the era's gaming forums. Almost immediately, VIP member shad0wz clapped back telling him to read the rules, linking to the board's actual regulations, suggesting the listing broke Market Place posting requirements.

READ THE FUCKING RULES— shad0wz

Sell in bulks cheaper.. might be 20 per acct or so.. let me know— SnEaKyJoKER

Selling REALLY GODDAMN CHEAP Electronics.

A member hawks a refurbished iPod Classic and a bundled first-gen PSP kit straight off eBay to fellow forumgoers.

In the Market Place subforum of Fkn0wned's Off-Topic section, member h4voCK posted a classic buy/sell listing offering a used 80GB iPod Classic and a first-generation Sony PSP bundled with games, a case, and a memory card, complete with links to matching eBay auctions and 'or best offer' pricing. The thread is a small time capsule of the forum's marketplace culture, which required 100 posts to trade, guarding against scam accounts. A staff moderator (NIX) replied but the visible content cuts off before revealing the response.

Selling REALLY GODDAMN CHEAP Electronics.— h4voCK

Asking for 100 bucks OR BEST OFFER.— h4voCK

Empire: Total War Account For Sale (Locked in 60 Seconds Flat)

Guy tries to sell a game account, forgets to read the rules literally posted above his own thread — instant lock.

A member named Matt200 posted in the Market Place trying to sell an Empire: Total War account for $30, claiming it was half the retail price. The Market Place rules required 100+ posts to buy/sell/trade accounts, a requirement Matt200 didn't meet. Staff member Hatred! (aka r0ss) shut the thread down within minutes, quoting the rule and issuing a warning. A classic quick, low-drama moderation snapshot of how tightly the Market Place subforum was policed.

I'm selling the account for $30 it just came out for $60 im selling it half price.— Matt200

Closed & Warned!— Hatred!

Leet WoW Account for Sale

A long-time member hangs up his World of Warcraft account to go play Aion — 400+ gold, epics, and vouches included

A Market Place listing where veteran forum member Dragon13 (member #930, joined 2006, part of the '1000 Club') offers his World of Warcraft account for sale, citing a maxed-level Death Knight and Shaman, epic gear, gold, and alts. He's moving on to play Aion and pitches his long tenure and post history as proof of trustworthiness for a PayPal deal. A brief bump follows with no other replies visible.

im very trustworthy Industry and others can vouch me also look at my join date/member number— Dragon13

This account could sell for 400+ on sites and etc, im open to all offers— Dragon13

MarketPlace Rules

The fine print behind fkn0wned's back-alley bazaar of Steam accounts, phished logins, and 'trusted' middlemen

A stickied rules post laying out how the Off Topic > Market Place subforum operated: a 100-post minimum to buy/sell/trade, mandatory proof screenshots (with account details redacted), a ban on selling private hacks, and an explicit allowance for selling phished accounts as long as it was disclosed. Staff (FkN Smods) offered themselves as free middlemen for shaky trades, with a warning that unlogged trades meant no recourse if scammed. It's a small but telling artifact of the era's account-trading economy that thrived alongside the cheat scene.

Selling phished accounts is allowed, as long as it clearly says they are phished in the post.— Skippy

No proof = no care.— Skippy

[Rapidshare] January 2010 - Auction Thread

A locked Rapidshare premium account went up for bidding at $5 in the old Fkn0wned marketplace.

This was a Market Place thread in Fkn0wned.com's Off-Topic section where user Jamiee auctioned off a Rapidshare premium account (locked to their email) for a January 2010 subscription. Bidding opened at $5 with a closing deadline the next day. It's a small, ordinary snapshot of the forum's internal trading economy, gated by the marketplace's 100-post minimum rule to curb scam accounts.

Starting the bidding at $5 Closing at 23:05GMT tomorrow :3— Jamiee

Go Go Go!— Jamiee

[SELLING] 6 Digit Steam Account

A member named r0ss tried to flip an old low-digit Steam account bundled with a stack of Half-Life era games for $25.

A short Market Place listing from August 2009 where forum regular r0ss advertised a 'six digit' Steam account loaded with the classic Valve catalog (CS 1.6, Half-Life, DoD Classic, TF Classic, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, etc.) for $25, later editing the post to adjust the price. It's a small, mundane snapshot of the site's marketplace culture, gated behind a 100-post minimum to curb scams. Not much drama here, just a routine account-flipping listing typical of the era's Steam trading scene.

Price: $25— r0ss

Reason for edit: Changed Price— r0ss

Get Verified for Legit Selling - Marketplace Vetting Thread

The post that laid down the law for Fkn0wned's account-trading scene: get verified or get scammed.

A Market Place staff/senior-member thread from August 2009 where user Mystik set up an informal verification system for people selling accounts on the forum. Sellers had to PM screenshots and meet a post-count threshold, with stolen accounts explicitly barred and impersonators of 'verified' status threatened with warnings. It's a small but telling snapshot of how the community tried to self-police its shady marketplace for game account trading.

If the account is stolen dont even bother PM'ing me..I will ignore you.— Mystik

Everyone that is verified by me is sure to be a legit seller.— Mystik

Selling 5 Digit.

A member number under six figures was up for auction — because on Fkn0wned, your ID was basically your street cred.

A veteran member ('Jamiee', a longtime '2000 Club' regular with over 2,000 posts) put a coveted low 5-digit account up for sale in the Market Place, opening bids at $10 with no auto-win. The thread reflects the site's internal status economy, where old low-numbered accounts (signaling early membership, ~Member No. 165,135 range and lower) carried real trade value among the community. Only a couple of replies survive, including one from 'Spaz' of the '[FkN] Crew' group, before the page cuts off.

Starting the bidding at $10. no auto win, so dont PM me asking— Jamiee

WoW: Burning Crusade Key for CS:S Account Trade

One member's offering up an unused WoW: Burning Crusade key straight-up for a Counter-Strike: Source Steam account — old-school forum barter economy in action.

A short, single-post listing in the Market Place board where a long-time member (over 200 posts, joined mid-2006) offered an unused World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade key in exchange for a Steam account with Counter-Strike: Source, mentioning they also had a WoW/BC account as a backup offer. The post is a good snapshot of the era's informal account/key swapping culture, done on trust with no escrow, vouching for their own honesty by pointing to their post history. No replies were archived, so it's unclear if the trade ever happened.

i have no reason to rip anyone off as i love gettin wares and porn from here you can look on my profile but it is a honest trade— got_hax_but_dont_know_shit

Trading: Orange Box for CSS

A one-post trade offer that accidentally preserved the entire fkn0wned forum map in amber.

Little more than a single Market Place listing from November 2008: member myspacefreak66 offering to trade a Half-Life 2: Orange Box copy for Counter-Strike: Source, contact via a personal hotmail address. The real value here is the surrounding scaffolding — the full board index showing fkn0wned.com's sprawling structure of cheat databases (CS 1.6, CS:S, Battlefield 2/2142, America's Army, MapleStory, Steam), staff downloads, and the notorious Off Topic and Red Light District / Porn Paradise sections that gave the site its rougher edges. A minor, mundane trade thread that nonetheless captures the everyday texture of the forum's Market Place in its late-2000s heyday.
