First Time Buy/Sell Guide
Hello Sir
@kittensoul I'm Genesis, Welcome to Epic NPC!
I apologize my reply may be late but I will give you some advice based on
my personal experiences and hopefully this will help you or someone rewatching the
thread.
Personal Experience
When I first came to Epic I was flustered on how, where and who to buy/sell from, I took my experience from traveling to other countries and remembered a solid rule is to always go by.
- Speak with the
locals first or a
guide. (In our case specifically
Administrators,
Local Mods,
Global Mods,
Community Members.)
Take note how I have ordered who you should ask for advice from most experienced to less, When I first came on Epic my first bet was to find the forum you are interested and search for a global moderator or a local moderator and ask them if they buy/sell accounts. Moderators act as their own entity on the site and they have all the privileges that we do as community members so you can find some very reputable staff that would love to do business with you as long as you adhere with the rules of the site. Each game Forum has mods you can check own the right side assuming you are on PC and search for the categorized "Moderators" tab. Before messaging them make sure to do you're homework and check their profile and make sure they are indeed a mod!
Verify the user
You can verify a legitimate moderator by their dark blue rectangle followed by a star and the words "Global Moderator" or "Local Moderator" or even "Former Moderator". On Epic and like any website there are Impersonators who will pretend they are reputable staff to scam users into thinking they are admins/mods/formers. You can spot out these individuals because on Epic there is something called "User Titles" and they will put "Official EPIC NPC Global Moderator", "Global Moderator", "Moderator" as a way to confuse you! Do not fall for this for it's an idiotic, shallow attempt to trick you. Sir please understand before you buy you must master spotting out the bad people before purchases and sales, I'm very sure with my little bit of guidance you will be a pro.

Why is this all important, when buying and selling accounts? please Protect yourself from impersonators, scammers who will try to manipulate the system to trick you and learn to identify
valid, reputable, trusted users on the site. That all starts with educating yourself on the website and you're very well environment you wish to invest in, You wouldn't walk into a bank that sign says "Super Cool AwesomE SafE Bank" written a poorly constructed cardboard material, just as much you wouldn't hand out you're money to a guy wearing a carrot suit with a piece of drift wood hammered to his head that says "Super Mod..". take ease and caution with who and why you came down to the choice of buying/selling/trading with said individual, network with various community members such as myself or others to get advice from their personal experiences, It is a community forum after all! Shoot questions and we will answer them to the best of our abilities.
Badges to look for
Sir I've done the pleasure of providing you some screenshot examples of legit badges to look on a profile, but before we continue I have the responsibility to tell you that just because someone is reputable does not mean you are 100% fool proof, let me say this again sir.. nobody is completely safe from scams not even Mr. Carrot man scammer that mentioned earlier. It happens so just know when you are investing on a site that's built around selling accounts which if caught you will get banned by the gaming companies themselves. Roll you're dice and hope for the best but due so with precision and knowledge of avoiding the red flags. I myself have done some great deals and won and loss some but that's part of the game. You win some and lose some, so play at you're own digression!
OP Questions
Q: "How secure is using this site?" - @kittensoul
A: "No site is fully safe, you can make valid purchases on this site if educated and you move correctly." - @GenesisGir
Q: "Is this account sellable?" - @kittensoul
A: "Any account is sellable as long as someone is willing to see the value and buy it. So yes sir it is!" - @GenesisGir
Final note
As I stated Epic has great moderators and an outstanding community of people who would love to help you and make sure you're all set up and ready for trades! Take care man and if you need any help with advice just DM and that goes for all of you guys too.
