Xbox Live Accounts and Their Value

I've been wondering lately what an Xbox Live account would sell for. In relation to something like a WoW account where does gamerscore rate? How valued is gamerscore these days that somebody is willing to spend a decent amount of cash in exchange for an account with a lot of work put into it. 
 
No, I am not selling my account. I'm just wondering what value gamerscore holds when compared to other items that people sell. So I'd like the guessing to go by a block sum such as 20,000G, 40,000G, 100,000G, etc. Something simple and easily comparable. 
 
It's hard to tell, but I'd say maybe 100,000 gamerscore might sell for $300? There are always people out there with money to burn. Or it could be as low as $100, making it a measly $1/1,000 gamerscore.

It's fun getting achievements on your own and starting at zero.  It just ruins the experience if you start from a high number like 100,000.

Considering there are hacks out there to boost peoples scores for those who are strangely obsessed to the point they feel the need to cheat, I can't see it going for much considering buying an account would be another form of "cheating". But maybe I'm wrong.

I think most people view achievements as personal accomplishments. We like to show OUR friends what WE did. There's no hiding from your friends when you've bought an account with a high gamerscore, and they're clearly not going to be impressed with the high gamerscore you've purchased. It's the opposite of, say, buying a World of Warcraft account,where the goal is to show off to complete strangers.

Eh I'd possibly buy a WoW character, but I can't see the value in buying a gamerscore, if you didn't earn the points yourself it feels pretty hollow. There's like 50 points on my account that my brother earned, I feel bad enough about that.

Unless the account comes with games or DLC, I don't think anybody will buy it. 
 
BUT, I do believe there are people out there who would PAY people to get achievements for them if they don't have the skills for them.

" Unless the account comes with games or DLC, I don't think anybody will buy it.  BUT, I do believe there are people out there who would PAY people to get achievements for them if they don't have the skills for them. "

I don't see someone selling thousands of hours of achievement whoring for 300 dollars. I make that in a day. That's a horrible waste of time.

It takes forever to get 100,000 points, even with cheating it would be incredibly monotonous.

Takes the achievement out of achievements unless someone was using it for bragging rights I would say it's pretty pointless 
 
At least if your buying a WoW character you can play at a higher level in the game. Gamerscore doesn't really effect gameplay.

" You have to make sure that you only get really dumb achievements, such as the ones you earn by pausing the game, going to the options or simply starting the game. A gamerscore of 50,000 or more with only the incredibly stupid achievements would be absolutely amazing and probably sell for a lot. "

Like shit you're not thinking of selling your tag..

Among the Halo community, there is a lot of account selling/trading that goes on. The value of the account has nothing to do with gamerscore though, and everything to do with highest skill ratings in the various Halo 3 playlists. Lots of players will buy level 50 accounts (the highest possible skill) if they cannot reach that level on their own. For some people, having that level 50 next to their name is worth paying for (usually in the $15-$30 range).
 
Specifically among the MLG Halo community, there are people who buy old accounts from pro players for $100 or more. The value in such a gamertag would be not only having a 50 in several playlists (or at least the MLG playlist), but also having dozens of legitimate pro player accounts on their Friend List.
 
Personally, I think it's pretty dumb to value some meaningless number inside of a video game enough to spend real money on it.

If you get a 50 in halo 3you can pester people with XBL messages asking for 1600 MS points

No. I mean "sell 50 acc. for 3 month or 1600 MS points". One time i replied with a used code, only i put a question mark at the end. After quite some time he replied saying it didn't work LOL

No people sell XBL accounts with Halo 3 Lvl 50's and stuff but Gamerscore is fun to get.

Well, it would depend on a few things: 

• What games are the primary achievements from?  How rare are the achievements?
• How many "fluff" games are there (i.e. Terminator Salvation, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fight Night Round 3, King Kong)?
• How much DLC and how many Arcade games are tied to the account that a person could download for themselves?
  
• What is the completion rate of the games?
• How long did all the achievements take to get?
• How many are hacked achievements?
