How much would an extended-confirmed account realistically sell for?

Realistically, what is the presumed monetary value of an account with 500 edits and 30 days. Compared to autoconfirmed, you basically can edit everything that isn’t templates or administrator stuff.

I cannot find any online reference for it without it being ridiculous, as some listings in’s Swapd and Playerup are above thousands.

It would also be interesting to here what accounts with “proper” user rights go for. Autopatroled, rollbacker, template editor, edit filter helper (would be especially interesting as it could be helpful in bypass abuse filters), template editor, maybe even admin??

Extended confirmed: ~$500-2500 depending on the account's permanent record (minimum effort accounts and banned/controversial users are next to worthless)

Autopatroller/pending changes: $2500-5000 ($50,000-500,000 if on track to adminship)

Admin: $1,000,000 (over $10,000,000 if legacy editor)

Clerk: $5,000,000

Checkuser: +$100,000,000

I highly doubt this. How is checkuser worth 10% of a billion dollars?!? It just allows for access of IPs. If it really were, I would expect that Bbb23 would live in a superyacht rather than a basement.

And if checkuser is supposedly worth that much, how much would oversight be worth? 100,000,000,000? Why aren't the oversighters and stewards billionaires?

Sources please.
