I am doing an opt in newsletter (1st issue coming soon!!) & would not ever consider selling the email addresses.... (Think of the legal implications involved!!)
First of all.. the people who have opted in are only opting in for the specific purpose stated...
for example.. I enter my email in a form for somethingprogram.com to get certain info/content/etc emailed to me at certain intervals.. I get what I subscribed to & all is fine..
Now, take this somethingprogram.com.. & let's say they sell my email address & the buyer of my email address sends me something I did not subscribe to..
This, as far as I know is SPAM!!
I never opted in to that specific list, & I believe there are legal implications involved when using bought & sold email addresses.. (correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I presume to be true..)

I totally agree with spacedog... I am sorta disapointed there there is so many spammers lurking around and are trying to buy these lists.... Nice to know Bunky is selling them too.... geez
