email value

[skatman]

I ran into a database of 2,880,000 email addresses from a reputable dating site. I am not sure if this database has been resold in the past - but I do not believe it has been.

What is this worth to people? I have never sold it before - and if I sold it it would be a one time deal.

A $1 per email address.

[skatman]

I mean the list. I know it's not worth that much.

[Stumps]

some compaines, pay $1 per valid email. your sitting on a gold mine if thats the case. lend me some cash whilst your at it dude.

[skatman]

WOW if that's the case. The problem is - I technically hacked this database so I am hoping to sell it for significantly less.

fucking asshole

The truth is - I don't know how to do email marketing.

Also RE: my "hacking". I did a google search for a friends email address which brought me to the SQL dump file hidden away on someones server. It was publicly available for download. I contacted the dating site owner via email but got no response.

So no, in reality I didn't hack it - but I did not get rights to it.

Under the circumstances and because I happen to know the murderous con from whom you lifted his dating service email data, I will gladly offer you $28.80 in stamps for the one and only copy and we will let the matter die!

If no one is seriously interested - I will rm -rf this file early next week.
