The problem here is usually the people doing this are just kids in the "scene". They go after original names on all different mediums like xbox live, twitter, instagram, etc. Usually the accounts sell from $100 up to $1000+, but they don't really realize the potential of what they could do with this. They could easily put their minor SE skills towards hijacking high quality information, but instead they use it to get known for stealing usernames.
