Buying WoW accounts - Securely?

[Jianyu]

Hey Buddyforum.

I was thinking about expanding a little bit and buying an account with Cataclysm (with or withour a lvl 85) and leveling/gearing it up for botting as a 5th account.

Is it actually possible to buy an account (providede you get SQ and SA, as well as a copy of identification) without the chance of the original owner actually being able to retrieve the account?

125k gold, all keys till cata, from what I heard, will be your own account.

Dont really get the 125k gold part lol.

So it would require all the keys ? I dont even have those for my own main account lol.

Its impossible to keep an account from being recalled but there are some things you can do to make sure you can get it back (or try to at least). Get the keys as mentioned above, the secret question & answer, and the original owners ID. Then put a authenticator on it.

And when it gets recalled => just send blizzard all the history that relates from selling to buying and b?m the hammer will fall.

Would throwing on an authenticator prevent him from retrieving it?

@weischbier: Well banning it will just as well end me up with throwing away money.
I guess I gotta buy from a friend then ..

I said this mostly in case when you won't attach an authenticator.
I mean when the owner retrieves his account its the best punish to get this account banned, right? (just in case you had not put an authenticator on it!)

This just happened to me. bought an account from ebay for 50 bucks and that dumb*** retrives it. I send all the payment + ebay details to blizz and b?m shut down.
I think its mean - yes, but it is in some kind a scam by the seller or not?

But this is what i do and will do if it happens again and should not serve as an good example to copy!

I would have done the same mate, dont get me wrong, however I would just hate to throw 50 bucks at an account and then lose it
