Okay so back in October I came across the ig name @occasions and kept it for a month, at the end of that month I got a comment asking if they could buy it for $250USD. Now I'm no idiot but this was obviously a scam, so what I went ahead and did was mock the guy, calling him out. However later I found out that it was the CEO of occasions magazine, I quickly smartened up making a deal with the guy, haggling (I went for $350 and we met on the middle) and I ended up with $300USD which translates to $370NZD over here. Now keep in mind this is a name being given away that nobody wanted, I got told I was never going to get anything for it or make any profit. Also I'm 13 *shrug* I think I might work in the financial field from now on...

Are you autistic? that's no reason to base your whole future on the fact that you got lucky that some thick ceo wanted an @' you had? Wow.

Selling an IG has nothing to do with finance either

What happened is that a idiot purchased your IG and wasted $300 no offence. If he owns a valid business he simply could of trade marked it.

I sold the Twitter handle @Ragamuffin for $200.00 to a pet store owner back in 2012. I still have full access to the Twitter handle. The password was never changed. I don't know what happened to the gal that purchased it.

Maybe the pet store caught on fire.

Dude calm down, it's a fucking joke. Even if I did, do you actually think I would be stupid enough to base my entire life after one day of getting money? I realise I got lucky, but it's still entirely possible that I've been planning on working in the financial field for a while, that or chemistry..

First of all I don't really care what he does with it, if he wants to save it for something else that's fine by me, but I don't really think I'd lie about making money, what's the point of that?
