Acronyms
OG - Original Gamertag - is only a stem/core/root of a word. For example the tag "Face" would be OG but Faces would not.

GS - Gamerscore - Self explanatory.
DLC - Downloadable Content.
GoD - Games on demand.
MSP - Microsoft Points.
V1 - A V1 Gamertag is a gamertag from the Original Xbox that Microsoft resets every whenever they want a cool tag for themselves, also known as an account with no WLID associated with it. Example: I have the tag "A tom" when MS resets it(They take it for themselves and claim it) it becomes available to change to "Atom"
Spaced GT - A tom (Any tag that's a word with space/s in it)
GLWS/T - Good Luck With Sales/Trades.
HMU - Hit Me Up.

Selling your tag successfully
In order to sell your account you first need to have one (Goes without saying)
Now that you're ready sell sell an account you must first remember that providing sufficient proof to buyers is the biggest key. This can be done by using screenshot software and/or showing them on the console you do for sure own the item/s you're selling.
The most common screenshot program is called Gyazo, which can be downloaded free using this link: https://gyazo.com/downloading
If you are selling a Main Account with stats, tenure, live, DLC or GoD using screenshots is highly recommended and makes you look like a more commited seller.
After all this is done you will need to set a price on your account, once done you're all ready to open a new thread.
Beware of being scammed
Now this should be commons sense by now, avoid sketchy users who claim to have this or that. Do some background checks on the user you may deal with and also don't be afraid to ask questions. I'd rather ask questions and look stupid than be scammed, true?
Be sure to always use a trusted MM/MW such as myself or any of these willing people in the list below:
Chill
Christy
Fresh Prince
Junior
Lethal
Myth
Raptor
Philly
I've handpicked these people as I know for a fact they're legit because of my previous deals with them, you shouldn't have a worry in the world. I cannot stress anymore if none of these listed people are available just wait until they are. Don't rush into a deal, the chance of being scammed is far to high.
Remember: Philly is the only Official Middleman, there is a fee if you use him, everyone else is NOT allowed to charge for a MM/MW. If using a member as a MM/MW, you're still dealing at your own risk. Make sure to check vouch pages and as I said before, do a background/history check.
Payment Options
First I will start by listing the known common types of payment options and the security of them.
LR - Liberty Reserve - This is no longer a method of payment.
BTC - BitCoin - Bitcoin is called a cryptocurrency, It's not cheap and may be hard to come by, this can be mined and used for blackhat activities. When sending a BTC payment you cannot refund this or get your money back.
WU - Western Union - This is a rare payment option as getting the funds is not as easy as say Paypal, this payment method is fast and secure ensuring no attempt at a chargeback will occur.
MP - MoneyPak - This card is bought at your local Wall-mart or 7/11 store, this payment option CANNOT be refunded once you've redeemed it. So be careful when dealing.
PP - Paypal - One of the most insecure ways of sending a payment, ensure you have full trust in the user who sends you this. Using this method makes it easy for scammers to "Scam" so please beware and take the appropriate precautions when accepting a Paypal payment.
Prices
There is not perfect price to an Xbox account or gamertag, the price is generally set up to whatever the seller/trader wants. If you don't agree with these prices please don't trash the threads. If it was done to you, I know for a fact you would dislike it, don't be that person.
Known Sellers
The people I'm about to list are not vouched by staff nor anyone of significance, remember these people are normal members and you'll be dealing at your own risk.

Terms and Regulations
If anyone chooses to sell their gamertag within this sub-forum you're not the one to judge whether it's bad or not or worth whatever the price is that they're asking. Everyone in this section has the right to be left alone and sell/buy/trade/re-sell/re-buy without any hassles. To an extent sales trashing is allowed but not to the extent where swearing and curse words are used. If a user is sketchy and you have proof, please feel free to make a little post on your dealing. Let others know of your experience.
If you need an appraisal, please visit the Appraisals section.
If you've been scammed and want to make a report, please post in the Scammers Bay, not in this section.
If you want to discuss anything related to gamertags or Xbox accounts, please feel free to post a topic in the Market Korner or the Gaming Market.
