(Not staff but I know this one)

So far it was planned once, and actually available twice -- once at the launch of beta, and once after online payments had been down for a couple months and the war chest had been severely depleted. As a general rule staff does not want to sell seed accounts; I know there are a couple places the eloquent version of the explanation there is kicking around; basically, it's not really financially sustainable for the site, and if a permanent user becomes dissatisfied with the service, there's not much they can do but yell.

There are no plans for a future sale. I wouldn't expect them to hold another seed account sale for anything short of an emergency equivalent to a couple months of payments being down. Which is probably not what you'd hoped to hear, alas. :(
