I just found this little gem on eBay:

A little research helped to identify the owner is part of the AfterDark clan, currently in the top 50 list and is called joebragg1.

Consider the money spent on the gems to get to this level, this can be considered a huge bargin, but without the fun of getting there.

Personally I wouldn't ever pay for someone else's base, it takes all the fun out of the game of battles and the upgrade journey. However, it does raise a good question: How much would you value your base?

My base? 50 usd will do.

My base is priceless.

I think your forum account might worth more than your CoC account.

im not even sure how that would work, you cant be certain he would delete the app data from his device and give you his gamecenter account. is it even possible ?

I would never sell my account. Really I would not, supercell I really would not, caus it is not allowed and if they find out your a gonner.

So I think you didn't make a new friend with this thread.

I don't get people who want to play a game, but clearly don't want to PLAY the game. Might as well just buy Game Center achievements directly or something (I know that isn't a perfect analogy).

Wow. I may buy it but like you said that would not be much fun. It would be worth the money tho

this seriously has phishing scam written all over it

There's a possibility of that as well which is why I've deliberately not included the link to the actual listing.

You can prob find it with a few searches, but that's your responsibility.

However, the seller is "garybragg" and the COC account is "joebragg", it's likely this is a genuine sell.

1) Could be scam.
2) Takes the fun out of the game.
3) Trophy hunting is the only thing to do.
4) Transfer via Game Center? He would have to give you his apple ID and password. The village can't be separated from it.

So no I would never buy it nor would I ever sell my village.

The journey is where the fun and satisfaction is.

I've spent precious time on this game, it's like I've got a nice bond with my own village. It wouldn't even cross my mind to sell it. No one would be able to afford mine :)

There should be a sticky on this topic.

1. I would never spend that much money on a game.
2. If you bought an almost maxed village, there would be no fun left
3. My base is worth $10 USD

You aren't allowed to sell your account and this thread will likely be closed anyway...

Selling accounts is prohibited in our Terms of Service. But even more importantly, the risk of fraud is too great for any of our players to be exposed to these potential scams. A newly bought Game Center account can very easily be reclaimed by the seller, and in such situation neither Supercell nor Apple can help the victim - there are no rules or laws to protect a customer on the black market. If you get scammed while breaking the rules, you're out of luck and your money.

It's safe to assume that people peddling Gems for Clash of Clans are also frauds. The only way to get gems in Clash of Clans is to buy them with in-app purchases, or doing certain tasks in-game. If you attempt to buy gems from disreputable sellers, they will ask for your Apple Account or Game Center login information. They will then link your account to a stolen credit card or use other illegal means to purchase Gems for your account. These criminals acquire new accounts to abuse through online auctions, or they may decide to use your account for this purpose after you give them your login credentials.


For the safety of our players, we have strictly prohibited any discussion about these topics on the forums. Any infringing messages or threads will be deleted without prior notice.

From the gems sticky: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...counts-or-Gems

Is it even possible to transfer from one gamecenter account to another? I do not think so.

You would have to trust the seller to not claim his gamecenter account back? & you couldnt change the name, link it to your account, etc etc

this seems messy and not possible

You can transfer the game from one game centre to another...

Exactly. Everyone considering selling or buying a CoC account needs to read this thread:
http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...counts-or-Gems

Since transferring an account is against the TOS, if Supercell is made aware of a sale of an account, it is within their rights to simply remove the account. They have ways to track these sorts of things.
