    Hey,

    To start with, people generally give out reviews (wouldn't mind one myself :p) Then the review could suggest a price for the list, depending on how many of the emails actually exist.

    Regards,

    What do you mean by give out a review? Sorry kind of new to this

    Regarding price, again im new so have no idea. I have been looking elsewhere and spotted some going £10 per 1000. Is that about right?

    Going onto valid email addresses, im confident they are. The will be the ones that are not. But the email addresses are given from the customer themselves to a website that is rather well known.

    Along with the same will be the home address of the ownee. Would this add value to the sale?

    Thanks

    Hey

    Review copy means giving out a free or reduced copy (free is the norm - especially for new users).

    That price is very wrong - usually it's around $10 for 1,000,000 email adresses.

    No, the home adresses would not add to the value and could even be classed as illegal - however, it would be good to the add site
    from where the emails are from.

    Need any more help? Just ask, I would also
    take a review copy if you want ;)

    Regards

    Josh

    I would be asking whether these people have said they are fine with this website selling off their emails to potentially people that could send them anything .

    From a buyers point of view it could mean their site being reported for unsolicited emails and from a sellers point of view it could be against the law to pass these emails out and if it came around that someone did report the sender of the emails for spamming , the sender could then come back on you ( the seller) .

    if you say this is from a well known website then i would defiantly be looking into this before going through with exposing these emails. You seem to not know alot for someone with access to a "well known" site .

    Dont get me wrong , im not trying to put the dampers on your sales thread , but i want to ensure that my members of this forum take everything into consideration before buying and selling. Alot of new webmasters are here.

    The email addresses are from myfreetunes.co.uk, and myfreerewards.co.uk

    all the email addresses are in .CSV format. It takes about ten minutes to load them up.

    Im happy to send you a review. How many you seeking and how do i get them to you?

    How are the addresses reviewed?

    Cheers

    That depends on the quality of the addresses and whether they are niche targeted , you could pay alot more than £10 per 1000 if these are correctly targeted emails. If they are not targeted then it would be spamming in a way because the people that Opt-in to these email most likely opt-in for a certain topic .

    Can someone also confirm why it would be illegal for me to sell the address of the people i have.

    They did confirm they were happy to receive offers, deals, free goodies etc by email and post, aswell as contact number?

    Providing the person that sends them email is sending them emails related to your niche yes, but if some one sends them information which is a totally different subject i would be a bit weary of

    Yeah i would imagine so bud, Im no expert in the matter especially Home addresses but i would say they fall under the same category.

    It would be like you signing up for make up freebies or something and then receiving thousands of car , charity , food related junk mail.

    Admittedly some people would be too annoyed with one or two but unfortunately you cant control what the people do with these details that you sell them too.

    As far as you know some one could get the emails and send out a mass mail promoting a **** site lol

    Not off the top of my head but i will have a look around for you a little later (now on my way out ) I know there are loads of companies that would take them from your niche. If i was you i would be present it in emails to freebies companies/websites and see what reaction you get.

    If you worded it as in you are seeking Partners to distrubute emails to your mailing lists for a fee and actually name the websites that the contacts are coming from then it will look more legit and people might take the time to read the email.

    Im sure there is plenty of money in it.

    There could be trouble ahead here. The email addreses were collected on a site that is registered in the UK, and subject to the Data Protection Act 1998.

    Without going into details too much, the personalldetails must be collected fairky and used for the purpopses for which intended, now NOWHERE does in the "terms and Conditions" or "privacy Policy" it say that the email addresses could be sold on, it does however mention partners.

    There's also a fundamental flaw in that the data collected within the UK (and sites registered in the UK are deemed to be within the UK) must not be passed to any body outside the EU.

    Thanks Alan

    I am trying to stick to these ruling as close as i can thats the reason for all my questions etc...

    Thing is this is the first time i have done this so want to make sure i do it right so dont have fall backs, and at the same time give the buying exactly what i say im giving them.

    I have been going through talks with a company today who sell records with minimum sales of £7,500.

    We have not spoke about cash as of yet, doubt il get that much but wil see what i can do
