While we are talking about it, anyone have any suggestions of places to buy traffic in the gothic, punk, rave, emo, latex, medieval, piercing, tattoo, other weird stuff niches?

Let me see if I can help.... The fact that the list has been around since January doesn't make it 30-50% undeliverable that's BS. The only way ANYONE would know that is by sending out a campaign with tracking pixels and see the results. This list sounds like it is a single opt-in mail. Obviously the conversions off a list like this are not as good as say sending to an adult member database. There is no exact science to mailing but you can be safe if you assume that a mailer campaign will have about a 10% open rate (if the subject line is good ) and about 5-10 % click through. This is a SAFE calculation of how much one should pay for an advertising spot from a legitimate mailing company.
25000 emails assuming 90% deliverable = 22500
22500 X 10% (opens) = 2250
2250 X 10% (CTR) = 225 Unique Clicks
As for all the other comments about the list being blacklisted so on and so forth, you just want to make sure that your friend does not mail the list directly to the front of your site. He will need to use a jump page off his own server so that it keeps complaints (if any) away from you. The fact that the list is so small the number of complaints could not be enough to make any difference in my opinion.
