Title: Selling a $30,000 Daily Limit Facebook Account Date:
2/29/12 4:03 PM
Post:
The account is 1 year old. Has been actively promoted on for a year. Comes with a 2k Animal Charity Fan Page. Never received a warning email for this account. Payment will be either by Escrow or Direct Wire Transfer. I will keep the offer for this account open for a week and sell it to the best offer. The minimum offer I'll accept for it is $30,000. Reason for Selling: I have half a dozen high limit FB accounts that are sufficient enough for my FB campaigns. I've also been allocating my budget from FB to other mediums, so I'll be letting go off (sic) several accounts. During this account's life, I was throwing my cleaner/smaller campaigns on it.
