i've seen some on forums, just search for aged accounts for sale. But be careful, because those bots are usually bought by:

  • crypto scammers
  • election disinformation groups. and sold by some shady sellers residing in some sanctioned countries.

Aged reddit accounts don't worth much though, 2000 karma goes for like 20 bucks max, probably lot lower.

So, is it worth selling it for 20 - 30 bucks that might come around to scam your parents, sway your election, or maybe even getting yourself on some watchlist.

11 years, a username with no numbers, and over 120k Karma is worth a lot more, but I'd rather keep that handle in tact rather than change it everywhere unless it was a truly stupid amount of money, like erase all my debts money. I have been offered (very low) 5 figures more than once. No way of knowing how serious those offers were though, could easily have been scams.

10 years and 150K karma, I probably wouldn't sell it but would love to know how much its worth.

I don't have much moral quarrel with crypto scammers compared to election disinformation. They only affect people dumb enough to fall for it.

Election disinformation potentially affects a whole country.

EDIT: added compared to election disinformation.

Well you have a point. I was trying to say that crypto scams aren't nearly as harmful as election disinformation is.
