If you go here and sign up to be inundated with spam and print ads and agree to, say, join BMG and buy some Frontline from some competing-with-PetMeds.com-website, they’ll send you a Sony Vaio. And/or they’ll send you things like DVD players and coffee makers to “test” and keep.

I’m so on the verge of trying it – I really want a laptop.

And it’s not like I don’t already get six pounds of junk mail every week… and THANK GOD. We use it for kindling in the winter.

The question is: is $1200 worth of laptop reasonable compensation for my name, email, and shipping address? What’s my marketing information REALLY worth?
