Questions

What people ask first

Try:

Buying

How do I buy a name?
Open the name in the collection and tap Buy on Telegram. A chat with @fivethousand opens with the handle and price filled in. We check the name is still available, agree how you pay, and hand it over. The full walk-through is in how to buy.
Are the names safe to buy?
Every name is checked available before you pay. Confirm in the chat exactly what is included (the login, the original email, whether it can move onto your account) before anything is sent.
Can I get a name that is not in the collection?
Possibly. Send the handle to @fivethousand and we will check whether it can be acquired.
Can I offer a different price?
Yes. Use name your price, or say it in the chat.
Which apps do you cover?
Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. Each platform has its own rules, and if a name has a limitation we tell you before you pay.

Paying

How can I pay?
We mainly take crypto, with no fee. Card payments go through Stripe and add 10% ($10 minimum). Other methods, like bank transfer, can be arranged: ask in the chat. Having the name moved onto your own account adds 15% ($15 minimum). The exact handle, price and method are confirmed before anything is sent.
Can we use a middleman?
Yes. Most buyers pay directly, but if you prefer a trusted middleman to hold the payment until the name is yours, say so in the chat or tap the middleman button on the name. We agree on a known, reputable middleman together. Their own fee, if any, is agreed up front. Both ways explained.
Who sends first in a direct deal?
The buyer, as is normal for direct deals. If you are not comfortable with that, use the middleman option.
Are there hidden fees?
No. You pay the price on the name, plus the card or move-onto-your-account add-on if you choose one. A middleman’s own fee, if any, is agreed up front.

Getting the name

How long does it take?
Most handovers finish 30–60 minutes after payment is confirmed. Restricted names can take a few hours, or until the next day.
What exactly do I get?
The whole account, with its login and the original email. Or, for Instagram, the name moved onto the account you already use.
Can the name go on my main account?
Instagram names can be moved onto your own account, in the same chat (+15%, $15 minimum). Digit-only names cannot, and TikTok and Snapchat names come as their own account. We tell you which applies before you pay.
Can I see the name on my profile first?
Yes, on Instagram names: tap See it on your profile on the name’s page.
Is there support after the sale?
Yes. Buyers get lifetime support after the sale. Message @fivethousand whenever you need it.

Safety

How do I log in after I get the account?
Enter the password, then the 6-digit code. Then leave the email, password and phone number as they are for 3 days. After that, change anything you like and turn on two-factor authentication. Login rules.
I got an 8-digit code. What now?
Stop. Do not enter it and do not keep retrying. It usually means the password was mistyped or something else is off, and repeated attempts can put the account at risk. Message @fivethousand first.
Someone messaged me claiming to be 5K Market.
It is not us. We only sell through @fivethousand. Our other accounts are listed on this page. When in doubt, start the chat yourself from here.
Where do your names come from?
From verified owners, through consensual transfers. We do not buy stolen, hacked or impersonated usernames, and proof of ownership is required before any deal.

5K Market is the marketplace of FiveThousand LLC. We started as 5000market.com in 2023 and moved to 5k.market. Every listing is our own: there are no third-party sellers. More in our story.
What do you do with my data?
We do not sell or rent it. The privacy policy sets out what we collect and why.
Can I get a refund?
Delivered digital goods cannot be returned. If a delivery fails, or you were charged without receiving the name, the refund policy explains what to do within 48 hours.
Where can I see proof of past deals?
