I bought a real-estate thing a while ago, it was one of those "make 1000s from home with real estate" kinda deals. I've been in real estate for a few years and wanted to see what these infomercial/spam emailers were up to.. always good to keep up on the competition.. and it was $40 for two videos, 4 CDs and a couple books.

Well, for $40 you can't expect much.. but if you ask me anything under $100 is basically free. While 90% of what they sent was crap, there was some informative material about some marketing methods I hadn't explored yet, particularily ways to reach new customers. Also, one of the books had a directory of every state's real estate commission, with urls, addresses and phone numbers. There were also some other directory type listings, and while all that information is easily gotten on the internet, it is nice to have it all in alphabetical order and bound into one small booklet.
