Does anyone actually buy Pokemon Go accounts?

[browneye]

If you look in the buy/sell/trade section for Pokemon Go, everyone is selling, no one is buying. Is there any market here at all?

There are some post with account label as sold out so i believe there's a market, but then again those account are high end account , as in dragonite 100% perfect etc.

With the ease of botting, I would say no. At first it was because the bots were kinda private for a few days, but since the source for a few were released, it just kind of took off from there and spiraled into the web of wickedness we are seeing

I would think that once people start getting banned, being able to validate botted accounts that survived would mean that person would have something worth while and could potentially have a good catalog of potential sales. But we won't know until confirmed ban waves start flying around.

How? With, Pokemon Sniping and 100% IV discord channel, you can easily get 100% IV pokemons.

How does sniping not get you banned? I've noticed some bots have it now too but I thought if you travel far its instasoftban? And have it happen a few times and permaban ;o

The servers checks where you are when you perform an action. Appearantly clicking on a wild pokemon doesn't count as an action, only catching it does.
So what the bot (or manual sniping too for that matter) does is to go to location, click on the wild pokemon and go back to original location before catching it.

This way it wont trigger a softban.

I was actually wondering the same. Thanks for the explanation.
