c0ke's Steam Account Shop

The guy openly admitted he stole Steam accounts for a living — then got banned as a scammer while the orders kept rolling in.

A trading-subforum thread where user c0ke ran an unapologetic storefront selling stolen Steam accounts (CS 1.6, CSS, DOD, rare titles like TF2/Portal) with a price list and a 'guarantee', and even offered to teach buyers how to steal accounts themselves for extra cash. A steady stream of members lined up requesting cheap low-digit or unbanned accounts, one poster tried to undercut with his own stolen-account listing and got called out as untrustworthy, and another flagged rule violations. The thread ends anticlimactically with the shop's own customers realizing c0ke had already been banned site-wide as a confirmed scammer, and the thread was closed by staff for that reason.

Basically I steal steam accounts, I'm going to admit that. In fact I steal A LOT of steam accounts.— c0ke
I will also teach you how to steal accounts if you have the $$$.— c0ke
ummmm if you ain't noticed c0ke has been banned so i don't think his selling nemore i think it would be a good idea if an admin closed this thread— jacal

Selling 7 Digits 10$ Paypal

Some guy named energy tries to sell a Steam account for PayPal cash, gets accused of copying someone else's exact sales pitch mid-thread

A small-time classified ad in Fkn0wned's Steam Account Trades subforum: member 'energy' offers a Steam account (referred to by its digit-count handle) for $10 via PayPal, insisting on 'you first or a middle man' after claiming to have been scammed three times already. Another member, Rock Superstar, calls out the post as a near word-for-word copy of his own earlier sales thread, quoting the exact lines back at him. A haggling back-and-forth follows over the price, with jcomp6 lowballing to $3-7, before the thread goes quiet for months until a late 'do you still have this?' bump from twitceh.

I dont like to be scammed for a third time— energy
lol just copied my thread : P ?— Rock Superstar

HUUUGE Account for Sale — VAC Unbanned, 29 Games

Guy sells a suspiciously huge 29-game Steam account, gets accused of scamming it within hours

A member called DeathAdder posted a Steam account trade in the Trading section, advertising a VAC-unbanned account with 29 games for $59 via PayPal. He preemptively noted he'd gotten special permission from a mod ('Sonikk') to bypass the forum's post-count requirement for trading, citing his '1000th Club' member status. Replies quickly turned skeptical, with users asking for proof of the games and openly accusing him of having scammed the account rather than owned it legitimately — a classic bit of low-trust Steam-trading drama typical of the era's account market.

Selling Orange Box Steams

A brand new noob undercuts the market on Orange Box and CS:S Steam accounts — and immediately gets called a scammer.

A low-post-count member calling himself ThisIsSparta popped up in Steam Account Trades hawking a small stock of Orange Box and Counter-Strike: Source Steam accounts at suspiciously cheap prices. Veteran traders immediately flagged that he hadn't hit the required 100-post minimum and that his pricing screamed scam, prompting screenshots as 'proof.' One trade apparently went through with regular logik92, who vouched for him with a +rep, but corbalz swooped in later branding him a scammer outright with no evidence offered, and dshizzle pushed back demanding proof. A little community-policing back-and-forth about trust, post counts, and account legitimacy is really what the thread is about.

you need 100 posts to buy/sell/trade, read the rules.. plus you didnt post a screenie of anything and your making it way too obvious by the prices that your going to scam.— Maxwell123

Selling Steam Account (CS:S, DoD:S, HL2 DM) - Nov 2007

A VAC-unbanned Steam account with CS:S and Day of Defeat Source, up for grabs — 'bought ones and stolen ones' included, apparently.

A member called Rock Superstar posted a for-sale listing for a Steam account bundled with Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat Source, and HL2 Deathmatch, sparking the usual back-and-forth over proof of legitimacy. Other members asked for screenshots and Steam ID digits, a moderator (DCLXVI) stepped in with standard advice on blurring account details before posting proof, and one member (havok123) had to explain how to actually upload a screenshot. The thread takes a mildly eyebrow-raising turn when the seller casually admits to also having 'stolen' accounts, while a buyer (jacal) repeatedly angles for a TF2-loaded account instead. Ends without a confirmed sale, just typical trading-subforum haggling.

this is one I bought, i also got stolen ones— Rock Superstar
Please post screenshots of the account games and vac status, don't forget to blur out the account name and email so you don't get disabled.— DCLXVI

"3 exellent steams" - knobjockey's Steam account sale thread

A guy sells three Steam accounts for PayPal cash — then spends the whole thread arguing with mods about a 100-post rule that may or may not have even existed yet.

Member knobjockey listed three Steam accounts (six, seven, and eight-digit IDs loaded with various Half-Life/CS/TF2 titles) for sale via PayPal, priced $15-$25. The sales went through fine with buyers vouching for him as legit, but the thread turned into a running dispute over whether the Trading section's 100-post minimum rule actually applied, with staff (ballistic, HaSh) threatening bans while knobjockey and others insisted the rule wasn't posted anywhere. Another member, jacal, explained the rule was mid-implementation via a broken mod. knobjockey kept posting new account listings afterward, expanding into bundles with more games.

i bought account 1 from this guy he is very reliable and you can gaurantee a good account— ohsnap999
Stop ignoring the rules or youll get a fucking ban.— HaSh

css+ heaps for orange box

Steam trader offers a CS:S-stacked account for The Orange Box, gets grilled over a 'hacked' offer instead

A 2007 trading thread where user jacal tries to swap a Steam account loaded with games ('css+ heaps') for an Orange Box account. A brief back-and-forth follows about whether a possibly hacked/VAC-banned account would be accepted, some ribbing when a member misreads the game list, and the usual chorus telling him to just buy Orange Box for $50 instead. It fizzles out with randoms offering AIM/MSN contact and a banned member touting spare Orange Box accounts.

how long ago did you hack it? how did you hack it? and is it vaced?— jacal
Totally not worth it..... Just buy orange box... $50 USA— hunterbrute224

Need a CS 1.6 Account — Trade Gone Wrong

Guy with $10.81 and no credit card just wanted a cheap CS 1.6 account — got scammed instead.

A low-post member named petermin94 posted in the Steam Account Trades subforum looking to buy a low-numbered Steam CS 1.6 account for around $10, since he lacked a credit card to buy games directly. Another user pointed out he could've just used PayPal on Steam, which made the whole trade attempt look unnecessary. Shortly after, a different member (milkrulz04) claimed he got scammed during the exchange, with the thread eventually marked closed by staff for scamming. It's a small but classic snapshot of the account-trading risk culture on the site.

Buying 6-7 Digit [PAYPAL] - Steam Account Trade Thread

A guy shops for a low-digit Steam account, buys a few, then it all ends in accusations of getting scammed.

A January 2008 trading thread on Fkn0wned's Steam Account Trades board where user k0fighter posted a want-ad for low-digit (5-7 digit) Steam accounts with CS:S or 1.6, paying via PayPal. Several members responded with offers, and k0fighter completed at least two quick purchases (a 7-digit account for 40 AUD, then more), publicly thanking sellers. The thread sours near the end when Rock Superstar claims a promised payment never arrived and k0fighter went offline, while k0fighter denies any trade was finalized, capping off with a pointed jab from another member about getting 'scammed enough.'

5-Digit CAL-i / CEVO-P Steam Account Auction

A rare 5-digit CAL Steam ID with league proof went up for bid — and the thread ended in a spam meltdown.

In this 2008 Trading section auction, user u5Shadow put a 5-digit CAL-i and CEVO-P Steam account up for bidding, touting its old-school Counter-Strike league history (with named CAL teams) as proof of legitimacy and offering to demonstrate it in-game. A handful of regulars traded small bids upward from $1 to $60 over about seven weeks, with some joking commentary along the way. The thread eventually derailed when one member flooded it with repeated slurs and copy-pasted garbage text, a jarring but unfortunately typical example of the era's edgy/toxic forum culture.

Trading Orange Box, Preferably for Runescape

A three-post trade offer that got shut down for skipping the paperwork.

A brief 2007 trade listing where member ynaggo offered their Orange Box (the Half-Life 2/Portal/TF2 bundle), preferably in exchange for a Runescape account. Retired supervisor NutterNZ quickly stepped in to enforce the trading rules, telling ynaggo they needed to post proof screenshots showing the account's games and VAC status, and that the thread belonged in Steam Account Trades. ynaggo sheepishly apologized and said they'd get screenshots up. A small, mundane snapshot of the site's trading section and its moderation norms.

Yeah so— ynaggo
Read the trading rules you need to post screenshots of the account showing the games and vac status and this thread should go in steam account trades.— NutterNZ

2 Steam Accounts For Sale, 5-Digit and 10-Digit

A guy tries to sell a '10-digit' Steam account and immediately gets called out as an obvious scam

In the Steam Account Trades section, a member called onepop advertised two Steam accounts (one with CS:S/HL2DM, another with CS:S, DOD:S, HL2DM, and Garry's Mod) for trade, asking interested buyers to email him for screenshots instead of posting them directly. Other members quickly mocked the listing, ridiculing the claim of a '10-digit' account as an obvious sign of a scam. The thread is short and ends in skepticism rather than a completed trade, a pretty typical fate for sketchy account-trading posts on the board.

Selling a Steam Account! (9 bucks, final offer)

One desperate seller, a haggled-down price, and a classic 'plz i need the money' energy.

A short, scrappy thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where a member tries to sell an old-school Steam account bundled with early Half-Life/CS titles. The asking price drops from $10-15 down to $9 across the seller's own replies, with a slightly confused aside about whether PayPal needs a credit card. It's a tiny, low-stakes slice of the era's account-flipping hustle culture rather than any major event.

Plz i need the money!— Killer-k
Ok for 9$ we have a deal hehe!— Killer-k

Steam Account for a 2142 Account Trade

A user calling himself 'the source of all' offers up a Steam account to anyone with decent Battlefield 2142 rank

A short-lived trade thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where user thesource offered a Steam account to anyone holding a Battlefield 2142 account ranked above Major Gold. A couple of members replied with counter-offers, including one touting spare accounts and a fresh CD key, before another regular reminded low-post-count members not to post since a trade mediator/mod feature was down at the time. The thread is brief and unremarkable in outcome, but a small time capsule of the era's casual account-swapping culture on the forum.

Why Low Digit Steam Accounts Were So Valuable

The FAQ post that tried (and failed) to stop the same question from getting asked for the millionth time

A pinned-style explainer thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where longtime member/mod Shifty breaks down why low-digit Steam account IDs commanded high prices and eBay resale value back in 2007. It's a classic 'stop asking this' post born from repetitive newbie questions clogging the trading section. Short, dry, and purely explanatory, it captures the era when Steam account trading was a real cottage economy on cheat/gaming forums.

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 and hope nobody misses it and makes the mistake of asking again.— Shifty

Selling Steam Account with ~30 Games

A dead link to a dead account sale, on a dead site — the full circle of forum entropy.

A trade listing in Gametration.com's Steam Account Trades subforum, where a member advertised a Steam account bundled with roughly 30 games for sale. The original post content is gone now, marked '[DEAD]' by whoever archived the page, leaving only the listing title and forum navigation intact. Typical of the era's grey-market Steam account trading scene that thrived on small cheat/gaming forums before Steam cracked down harder on such trades.

[DEAD] Steam Accounts - 6 digit "cheap" - Gametration.com

A dead listing for cheap low-number Steam accounts, frozen in time on a defunct cheat-scene trading board.

This was a marketplace-style thread in Gametration.com's Steam Account Trades subforum, where a seller advertised a stock of Steam accounts with low six-digit IDs (prized for looking 'old' or original) at discount prices. The actual listing content and shoutbox chatter are gone, leaving only the dead thread title and forum navigation skeleton as a marker that this kind of account trading was a normal part of the site's Trading section. It's a small artifact of the early-2010s cheat-scene economy, where forums like this doubled as informal marketplaces alongside their cheat databases for CS 1.6, CS:Source, Battlefield, and other games.
