| Feb 16, 2012 at 14:25 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | @AdamRackis Be on the lookout for the feature request to transfer ♦ on meta. Once that's approved, I'll send you details on where you can wire the money/mail the books. | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 14:22 | comment | added | Adam Rackis | @casper - sold!! And as a gesture of goodwill I'll even throw in Uncle Bob's Clean Code | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 14:14 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | @AdamRackis Have a gang of four book? Include that and you have yourself a deal. | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 13:19 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard Mod | I thought people bought and sold accounts all the time. At least that's what the guy who sold me this account told me. | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 5:10 | comment | added | slugster | See if you can negotiate him up, see if you can get a dollar per rep point. And then if he pays by money order don't wire the balance back to him. This will undoubtably be a scam of some sort, so try to play the game of Scam the Scammer. | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 4:00 | comment | added | Someone | My only concern is why he didn't ask me. | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 3:48 | comment | added | Adam Rackis | @casper - I'll give you $500 US for your diamond, and I'll even throw in my old "Dragon" compiler book from college :-) | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 3:17 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | @YannisRizos If only that were my biggest problem. Again, make me an offer. =P | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 3:15 | comment | added | yannis | @casperOne I probably can't afford an SO ♦ right now, but if you consider renting it to me for a couple of days, I promise you'll never have to worry about list questions ever again... | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:50 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | We're talking about a shiny new ♦ on SO. (Fine-print: Price is a metric based on but not limited to the traffic of the site, number of flags previously handled, and just how much I'm (Seller) in the hole at the time. Past performance of ♦ is not an indicator of future gains in popularity in your quest for total domination. Purchase of the ♦ does not guarantee shielding of Buyer from or hold the Seller responsible for future meta posts, chats, comments or any other maleficence/unforeseen acts/acts of God directed towards the Buyer). | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:36 | comment | added | yannis | Wonder what's the current price for ♦ accounts... | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:17 | comment | added | Jeremy | @Stéphane I can't find an actual rule against it (related: sharing an account for an organization is okay), but I'm sure the team would object if they knew about it. I'd forward the email; it might be useful to them, and there's no harm if it's not. | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:09 | comment | added | Stéphane | Do I still forward the e-mail, or just ignore the whole thing? While it is unlikely to be legitimate business, there probably isn't a law or SO rule against people doing such things, right? | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:07 | comment | added | Pollyanna | Ah, I misunderstood. | |

@AdamDavis It sounds like someone wants to buy Stephane's account, not sell him a Pro account or something. Similar to how Joel wanted to buy the @trello Twitter account.

| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:03 | comment | added | Jeremy | @AdamDavis Forwarding it sounds goods, but I don't think he meant it was pretending to be from Stack Overflow. | |
| Feb 16, 2012 at 2:01 | comment | added | Pollyanna | Please send the full email, including email headers, to [email protected] so they can figure out the problem. Stack Overflow does not sell accounts, and if someone is sending emails on their behalf, it is important to notify them. It is possibly a scam or phishing attempt. | |
