First, is the marketplace at torrentinvites.org legit? Second, is it dishonorable to do such things? Third, how to avoid scams? Fourth, are there alternative marketplaces to have a sense of whether the price is right?

UPDATE I wanted to thank all for the feedback, you made me change my mind and saved my ass from some costly frustrations... good thing I asked here first!

I have a question do they figure you out that you are not the same person because your ip has changed like will moving countries ban me or something it doesn't make sense

The best trackers have some pretty strict rules regarding IP-addresses for this exact reason. If you're suddenly browsing the site from a completely different location, it could raise flags. If you're moving country or using a server/VPN (for browsing, not downloading), you might need to notify staff about it.

But as a general rule, if someone claims to sell invites to the top-level trackers it's probably bullshit anyway. They are very closed down.
