More Ebay game account fun - Socom 2 (1 Viewer)

Looks like the #1 ranked player in North America is selling his account. Search for Item #3080811953 on Ebay.

Funny thing is once the winner gets his account he/she automatically becomes leader of his clan.

That is unbelievable. What's even more insane is that the bids are up to over US$2K. A new business, I guess: creating high ranking online accounts and selling them.

...that you never earned.

Something tells me that this guy will never see his money-2000 is just way too much to be a serious auction. I could MAYBE see someone spending 100 bucks on an ID if they're desperate for a quick fix, but even that's stretching it.

I believe it's legit. When EverQuest selling first started, the highest-end accounts regularly went for over $2k.

I'm confused. This post would tell people that this person is no longer the 'same' person right? I'm sure word would get out. Not only that, if the person does not keep the stats up or the next person is not a quality player, wouldn't the stats begin to drop? I don't get it.
At least wih Everquest, there was more to the character than just win/loss stats.

Yea but I thought this was *just* SOCOM, why would anyone need to be ranked #1? In Everquest buying a well built up character was beneficial because you could use their skills and weapons. Is this just for bragging rights?

I'd be ashamed if being good at a videogame were my claim to fame, even more so if it's because I shelled out $2k for it.

 

[Jeff Holton]

This can't be real... it's up to $12,000 now...

 

[BrianB]

Of course it's not real at this point - you honestly think those bids from 0,1 & 2 feedback users are valid??

 

[Dean Martin]

Maybe it's someone who looked at the stats and decided to spoof this individual?
