    I assume not, but figured I would ask before a mod removed the thread.

    Thanks.

    I assume it's not, but even if it were, how would you do it? Give away your Google/Apple/Facebook credentials? No thanks.

    It's done all the time for games. Trade your Apple ID for cash.

    Whoever owns the account changes their Apple password to something simple. They get the money from the buyer, and give the buyer their Apple ID and password. Whoever buys the account changes the Apple ID password and it's now theirs.

    Whoever sold the account creates a new Apple ID to start over.

    Oh, I'm aware of that, I'm just saying that there's no chance in hell I'd give up my Google/Apple account for any reasonable amount of money.

    If you want to sell your account, I'm not interested.

    If you want to buy my account, I'm not interested either.

    If you want to give me money for free, then I'm interested:D

    Why? What do you have in your Apple account that's so special? Just create a new one.

    It's usually not allowed to trade accounts at all. That's because the stuff on the account isn't really yours, therefore you have no right to give it away. (It's Rovio's, and you only have a license to use it). As far as I know, that's how it works for every online game.

    I understand that argument, but totally disagree. Anyway, I know the game itself won't sanction selling an account, but was hopeful that we could use forums to do so. I'll probably just have to go the FB route like with other games.

    Oh I'm just used to using Apple ID since I'm playing on iOS devices.

    My Apple account is the same deal - my name isn't "GanjaSmoker420@apple.com" like some Xbox Live user, it's my actual name.

    No. Selling accounts is not permitted, not here or in the game.

    There is no proper way of even sell an account. You can't ever know if the original owner still has an access to the account. Or even worse, is just outright trying to rip you of. It's just best for everybody to just say no to account selling.
