Buff163 in North America?

[DannyRox]

Is anyone able to create an account in North America on Buff 163 or bought from there who is not from China. I see some skins i'd like to buy on there, but I can't get past the phone number restriction. Has anyone had a workaround.

I used to trade a lot but now I'm holding items. U can create your account by giving your phone number and then entering the code u should receive from them. I don't remember those steps, but I think that in youtube there'd be videos explaining how to create an account. Being honest, best way to buy things is selling TF2 keys if you don't know somebody that has balance already.

pretty sure NA (or at least USA) is restricted from creating accounts on buff, so you'll most likely have to accquire a non-USA IP aswell as a non-USA phone number (or use someone you know and trust as a middleman to get the skins to u)

Mmh... that could be the reason tho. I didn't know that u were restricted to create accounts.

my friend (also from USA) tried creating an account and it had the same issue, however I was able to create mine just fine (from Germany)

Hard to understand why this account creation is so difficult. Sadly I don't know anyone who can middle man that I can trust, seems like a whole untapped market T_T. Glad to know Germans are able to use Buff at least. Hoping someone from NA comes up with something I can use to work around the restriction. Some of the seller I'm trying to buy from has comments disabled and doesn't accept friend requests, which is a bummer especially when I'm willing to overpay even more than their buff ask.

contact @noblesix_csgo on twitter. he's well known in the trading community and i personally bought from him in the past aswell (about 150 euros in total i'd say), he will be able to resell you buff balance most likely

EDIT: TDM_HeyZeus also sells buff balance as far as I know, you'll have to look at their YT or Twitter for that though

Thanks. i'm still new to this purchasing buff balance thing. But I can't set up an account or anything yet because of phone number restriction so buying buff balance would be useless, I was hoping to sell skins on there for buff balance if I ever am able to make a buff account in the future.

oh right, i kinda forgot that you can't even create an account there, sorry for that haha
if you wanna check prices of skins, i can recommend you pricempire(com). gives you an overview of most marketplaces and their respective prices for the skin you're looking for. sometimes even other websites that aren't buff163 have pretty good deals

Well if you ever want to make a decent profit lol check out my profile on the up for trade section for what skin I wanted to buy on Buff163. It was this specific pair of bloodhound gloves FN Charred. I think the skins I'm offering should be maybe $2k for the skin that is listed on buff for $1.25k. I used to own the #4 float gloves, but the #5 gloves this person is selling is less scuffed.
