How can i get a v1 Gamertag?
Sadly you can't. The only way to EVER get a v1 Gamertag is if Xbox decides to reset them. In 2011 they tried to reset all the 7+ letter Gamertags and people claimed them and were selling them on other forums. This made them stop.
Can i hack a original Gamertag?
It is impossible to do this anymore since Microsoft and Xbox have upgraded their account security.
How do people have jacked Gamertags?
In 2010 Xbox support was really easy to SE and people could get the support agent to read off all the accounts info. They could then reset the account.
Can i buy a good Gamertag?
Yes, go look around the internet and you will find a few forums that allow people to sell them.
How much are they?
Something amazing (Ex: Toad, Frog, Dog) will go for thousands. Something pretty good (Ex: November, Forgotten, Dentist) Will go for 300+. A Semi-OG (Ex: Landscape, Google Search, Blankets) Will sell for around 100$.
How not to get scammed for a Gamertag.
This is the main reason why i made this thread. If the Gamertag is a V1 it is common sense that the guy does not own it. If he is selling the Gamertag Pure for 200$ he is probably scamming.
Banned Gamertags.
Many people will scam people with banned Gamertags and send a message as the proof that it is not banned. This is very easy to fake. Some people have a method to send messages and change the bios on banned Xbox accounts.
Turbos.
If you manage to buy a Gamertag and you plan on putting it on your main account don't tell anyone about it. People have made programs that they run on their computers 24/7 the will automatically claim the Gamertag if it is changed. You can't avoid this and you wont beat the program. It is very important that you don't tell ANYONE and change it at least a week after you buy it. The longer you wait the better it will be.
