my advice is to contact CIG for how to go about it right

I 'bought' an account to get a ship that wasn't giftable

then when my ISP got acquired they closed down the old email server i had connected to the account

now I can't log in because 2-factor authentication

and I can't provide the original backer's documentation CIG requires to give access the account

afaik CIG will not participate or provide help in selling the account.

CIG in 2016 said:
Thanks for contacting CIG!

The buying and selling of accounts is against our Terms of Service, it's not something we support. When an account sale is brought to our attention the account in question is closed.

Unfortunately, this isn't something I can assist with.

Cheers,

I don't think they actively hunt down such accounts and somehow tolerate it. (unlike it has been stated)

I would still have access to my account if I could retrieve the auth code they sent to my defunct email account

CIG is not actively going after account sellers/buyers

but they won't help if you have a problem

You could consider buying some cheap ships with cash, then melt all the stuff in your account and use the acquired credits to CCU to a more expensive ship. Once you buy a ship with cash, you can gift that ship, with or without CCUs.
Don't market it as selling credits. Those are sold at 70 - 90%????? I'm not in that market.
LTI makes ships more desirable than the standard 6 months.
[EDIT]
Selling your account is black market, selling ships is grey market

My Advice,
Sell your game packages/pledges on grey market.
And KEEP your account.
You may change your mind in 3 years and if you keep just the account,
you'll get free exclusive goodies as the years go by.

P.S.You can make all that sellable again with a little finagling.
But it is going to require about $40 new bucks or so but then you'll have control and be able to sell.
What you do is melt everything not tradeable so you have all that RSI credit.
Buy a cheap base ship, can be anything, apply CCU to that ship that uses as much of your RSI credit as possible.
Then you can recover the majority of your spend cash on the grey market.
WITHOUT selling your account.
