You're offered $1k for your username on here , would you accept or reject?

[Reecejackox 422]

Accept obviously obvs

[SharpWit 2,847]

Of course Obvs for you! 

Absolutely not for me. To quote The Crucible, "How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!"

And while many a name I have had on ze internets, they are all an intrinsic part of me, that I shall not depart.

Also, I accidently made Sharp Wit my name on my first Uber account, and it was a blast having drivers call me that.

[Iforgotmybrain 7,018]

So, it would depend. I don't think I would sell my name to a company or even an individual for 1k. Maybe if they offer more, we're talking 20k at least. I'll need more than 1k to overlook the ethical issues that come with selling my identity to some other entity. If someone just paid me 1k to never use the username Iforgotmybrain again and that's all? I might take it, since there's no real ethical dilemma like with the previous scenario. I can always come up with another username, or just go back to using the one I made up when I was 5.

[Ice Princess Silky <3 18,043]

Only $1000?  No way.
One billion dollars c:
Sure. 

Then I will remove the <3 and just stick to "Ice Princess Silky," instead? See? Good negotiation! 

Think of all the BUTLERS I can pay with one million dollars!

[Samurai Equine 54,870]

Hmm...

Nah. 

You'd have to offer way more then that. And even then, why my name specifically? 
It's personal to me. It means nothing to someone else.
And since you can change your display name, I am not sure how much it would matter since I could easily just change my name to "The Real Samurai Equine". 

[Ganondorf8 11,699]

I'd attempt it, but then Nintendo might not approve given that 'Ganondorf' is of their property.

[Drama Llama 901]

Sure, I have plenty of other random names I use 

[DubWolf 18,534]

Sounds like identity theft with extra steps  

[Envy 6,378]

I'd ask what selling my username even means. Does it mean that I'm selling my account/likeness? Will they be able to impersonate me? Or are they just so inclined to my username that they are willing to pay $1000 for it? Any of these scenarios are rather silly on an internet forum like this, though. It's hard for me to imagine it properly.

If it was just simply giving up my username, sure. I'll take that money, it'll help me afford food, which we all need in this economy.

[Silly Druid 7,640]

I'd accept. It's the person that's important, not the username. I have many other ideas for my username, those who know me from Discord know that I'm changing my name there quite frequently.

[Longhaul 8,141]

Reject.  My name's too tied in with my personality.

[Clawdeen 20,693]

No because I do not own the rights to this name Mattel does. Therefor direct all purchase inquires to Mattel. I'm not trying to get sued for selling something I don't technically own

You'll just have to change your name to Sparkplug, now!
