First of all if your regdate isn't old enough to have its own custom SAmote, then don't bother because it isn't worth a drat thing. So obviously only vintage accounts will have any kind of real value, the older the better. I would estimate a top-tier (literally perfect stats) forums account from 01 or earlier could fetch into the thousands, with value diminishing considerably based on time alone. Then we could assume some kind of point value for the rap sheet, here are my ideas:

+ $10 for each probation
+ $50 for each ban
(+ $15 additional if the probate/ban is from Lowtax himself)
+ $100 for a permaban recovery
- $25 if Aatrek probated you
- $50 if you ever posted in BYOB or GBS

Anyway there are probably more qualifiers we could come up with, for certain different people will have their own tastes affecting what they perceive as valuable in a forums account. Still it would interesting to know as I am currently calculating all of my assets for tax and insurance purposes what kind of price I could fetch if I ever decided to ebay my vintage '04 account with respectable posting credentials.

For myself, I think $870 would be a pretty reasonable price to set the reserve at. What do you think?

I'm motherfucking Jesus Christ and I registered in '99 I think (though it says '00) and unfortunately my ban history only goes back to '05 but I'm pretty sure I was also the first person banned on this forum.

I think like $30. I can't remember if I have no ads. That might make it 40.(E: No ads is only 5 I guess; I don't have it anyway.30 it is) Add in savings from coupons and it probably goes up dramatically.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this sovereign citizen stuff might be closer to the truth than we are willing to admit.
placeholder so i can tabulate my rap sheet.

edit:

original regisration = $10
27 bans = $270 dollars

so, i've spent at least $280. plus i've had plat and archives at various times over the years, plus have bought myself a custom title or six.

concervatively, lowtax has got about $350 from me on this account. you're welcome.

sucks to be right
I would say that my account (with plat) was worth exactly -$20 except that I have a super rare red pill plat symbol randomly awarded to me by Lowtax himself which bumps my account's worth up to at least -$16.35
