Yes, that's right, someone is offering their achievement whoring services on eBay. Lucky patrons of this amazing deal will get to pay a total stranger to play games instead of them doing all that hard work. What a bargain!
eBay seller "gamertagz" is offering the full 1000 gamerpoints in Left 4 Dead, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and The Orange Box. You will of course have to give this total stranger access to your Gamertag and Windows Live ID. He will then unlock all achievements within an hour, he claims.
I also love the disclaimer: "Again you are simply paying for my time anything that happens during that time is coincidental." That just sounds sinister. Like he's going to mug, rape and kill some old lady but you'll be responsible because you're paying him to do it. Or something.
The sad thing is, someone has actually placed a bid on the Left 4 Dead one. Somebody out there is willing to pay cash, however small the amount, so that a guy on the Internet can play videogames for them. This is the world we live in.

and these are the hands we're givin
ooohoohooh
I don't understand why you'd want to do this for many reasons. Besides, you can't get all the achievements in under an hour. Can't do that alone with the orange box.
shady, ebay shady.
who does this guy think he is, CHAD?
Please proceed to stop gaming altogether!
- I will urinate for you in situations where bathrooms are unavailable
- I will satisfy your wife and/or girlfriend for a nominal fee
- I will go skydiving and report back how fun it was for under $2000

If this guy cheats to do so, then yes.
Also, is there a way to check and see the total amount of zombies you have killed?
Achievements add replay value to games that otherwise have none. They keep you playing the game over and over again to get that next achievement until you've completed them all. It's a way to get your money's worth especially on short 6 hour games but will probably take you a week to get all the achievements in.
its easy with binding sv_cheats 1 and sv_cheats 0.
Beginning of dead air, take a pipe bomb, go stand on top of the bars. turn on sv cheats 1, make a zombie spawn command. and let like 300/400 zombies spawn. You turn off sv_cheats so achievements will count. And you throw the pipebomb.
But still getting all the achievements is not possible since lamb 2 slaughter achievement has bug and wont display on steam profile:P
