What we buy
- Old channels and groups, empty or with members, especially from earlier years.
- Single chats or batches of several channels or groups.
- Chats must be yours to sell, free of restrictions, and transferable with Telegram's owner transfer.
Not every chat fits our catalog, so we reply with an offer when it does. Prices depend mainly on the creation year and the member condition; you can see what buyers pay on our price list.
Where to sell an old Telegram channel or group
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplaces and forums | Reaching many buyers, public seller reputation | Fees, fake buyer accounts, pressure to move the chat elsewhere |
| Direct buyers in your niche | Channels with a real, active audience | No third party if the buyer disappears after the transfer |
| Selling to SocialStore | Old or empty chats, single chats or batches, a quick yes or no | We only make an offer when a chat fits our catalog |
What decides the offer
- Creation year: earlier years are usually worth more, so show the first message or the "created" service message.
- History: whether old messages are visible to new members, and whether the chat was ever renamed, converted or imported.
- Members: empty chats are fine; real, active members can add value, bulk-added ones do not.
- Condition: no restrictions, no scam label, and nothing in the history that breaks Telegram's rules.
- Quantity: a batch of similar chats is reviewed together.
Prepare before you sell
- Turn on two-step verification now. Telegram usually requires it to be active for 7 days, and a session older than 24 hours, before ownership can be transferred. See when your transfer opens
- Record proof: a short screen recording that opens the chat info and scrolls to the first message.
- Clean up: remove admins and bots you no longer use, and decide whether the public username is included.
Scams that target sellers
- Fake payment screenshots: only transfer ownership after the payment is confirmed in your own wallet or account.
- Fake escrow links: never use an escrow or middleman suggested by a stranger; check it independently.
- Login code requests: a real buyer never needs your login code or password. Ownership moves with Telegram's built-in owner transfer.
- Impersonators: scammers copy names and photos. Our only buying account is @SocialStore_pro.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I sell my old Telegram group or channel?
On marketplaces and forums, directly to buyers in your niche, or to a buyer such as SocialStore. Whichever you choose, agree the price and steps in writing and only transfer ownership after the payment is confirmed.
How do I know what my old group is worth?
The creation year, visible history, member condition and quantity matter most. Send the details and we reply with an offer if it fits our catalog; our free channel value calculator also gives an estimate.
How do you pay sellers?
In USDT. The price, the payment and the order of payment and ownership transfer are agreed in writing in the chat before anything moves.
Do you buy empty Telegram groups and channels?
Yes. Empty chats can still be valuable for their creation year; older years are usually worth more.
How much will you pay for my old channel or group?
It depends mainly on the creation year, the member condition and whether history is visible. Send the details and we reply with an offer if it fits our catalog.
Do you need my login code or password?
No, never. Ownership moves with Telegram's built-in owner transfer after the price and steps are agreed in writing.
