Completely depends on the age of the account. The older the name, the more it will go for. Age of the account is the first criteria followed by the amount of feedback it is, *and* whether or not the feedback is from buyer or sellers. Buyer feedback is vastly superior to seller feedback simply because you can buy penny auctions and get over a thousand feedback in a day or two using various commercial scripts. Of course you could instead be the one *selling* the penny auctions and after a few months nobody will be able to see what you sold, just that you got feedback for selling it.

Again, the first criteria is age. The older the account the better; 4-5 year old ebay names with few or no name changes and no blemishes on the account increases the price greatly. Price depends on a few other conditions as well... but an old account with 'continual' feedback (with no huge gaps between feedback, say a year or more) and properly aged will go for over a thousand depending on who you sale the account to.

Most people who use ebay accounts for scamming purposes won't pay shit for them since they can hijack an account or create a new one with bogus info, buy a shitload of penny auctions, and have a few dozen to a few hundred feedback in a hour or two. Scammers suck
