You can buy anything on the black market – including Twitter handles

The perfect @ identity is a must-have accessory for big companies and brand-conscious celebrities - at any cost

Everything has a price, even the top Twitter handles, and if somebody does not want to sell then they may be forced to relinquish their account.

"We have a marketplace which allows the sale of Twitter handles," says Philly, a subversive marketer who founded ForumKorner, an online gaming forum. "Unlike some websites, however, we do not allow the sales of stolen accounts that some people phish, or hack, to obtain before reselling them."
