      Not really sure what you mean by "25,000 autobot IM spam followers" lol, unless you mean an account with 25,000 spammers following me.

      Thanks for the input though

    what a fantastic thread - I hope we get lots of comments, I'd love to learn more about this.
    I have some dealings with automated twitter applications myself and I have wondered, just how much of it is 'real' and how much of twitter is actually robots?
    Great topic!
    What say you Warriors?

    So, in answer to your question, I personally wouldn't be paying too much for a twitter account but I'm sure 25k followers would have an appeal to lots of folks but I suppose it depends on the niche.
    A BMW based twitter account would have more value then say, an unemployment support account would.
    Anyone else with some input?

    but I reckon if you marketed it right you could probably get a few hundred, maybe even a few thousand - depends on your soul I guess

    Its worth nothing - whoever is selling the account, its not theirs to sell. The account belongs to the owner of twitter. Your not supposed to sell something that does not belong to you.

    its worth whatever anyone will pay for it.

    things to consider

    how many people are the account FOLLOWING? (if its more than 10% of what is following them. then they simply grew by follow to follow and pretty worthless)

    is it targeted?
    how often does it tweet?
    how often do tweets get RT?
    how often do tweets trend?
    how often are new followers coming on board?
    how many respond to links posted?

      Selling something that does not belong to you might be considered fraud - and in some cases its a criminal offense.

      Selling your twitter account, is about like your friend loaning you a car, and you selling that car. Regardless of how many people recognize the car and wave as you drive by - its not yours to sell.

      If its not "yours", you can not sell it. And nobody "owns" their twitter. The owner of twitter owns that account.

    Thanks for the responses, I know there are lots of different variables but I honestly just care about one thing

    How much would you pay for a twitter account with 25,000 Untargeted followers?

    Yes, I know many things change the value, and that you aren't really supposed to transfer ownership of the account.

    But please,

    How much would you pay for a twitter account with 25,000 Untargeted followers?

    Thank you.

      hmmmm

      the VARIABLES are everything

      thats like me saying how much would you pay for a 3000 square foot home?

      and you say:

      how many bedrooms?
      how many baths?
      pool?
      neighborhood?
      close to water?


      and I say "yeah yeah yeah, i know there are variables but HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY?"

      sounds like you are looking for an ignorant buyer willing to give you outrageous amounts of money simply because there is what YOU consider a big number of followers


      25k followers - untargeted and no information

      $10

        Haha, maybe I am the ignorant buyer just wanting to test something out?

        Thanks anyway

    I wouldn't pay anything for 25,000 followers that I know nothing about.

    Simply having followers, or telephone numbers is worthless. I can get 25,000 names and phone numbers out of the phone book but it's not worth anything.

    This is because 99% of people have no interest in any product that I am selling.

    not $10 even. 25,000 followers and I am sure you can get 100-200 to go anywhere you send them, but they are unlikely any will take any action once they arrive. So as they would be a cost in purchasing them and maintaining them, they would most likely give off zero return. Pay even 1 dollar for un-targeted followers and end up with a negative income based just on maintaining the list. If you want to sell a twitter list, must be targeted and a history or buying what you (as the leader) suggest they buy. Easier to do with a smaller list. big lists are for play only.

    There's no such thing as a targeted Twitter member anymore unless you've actually used it for networking and an account with 25,000 members is an account with 25,000 Twitter spammers.
