Did anyone of you buy an email list? - What is your view of purchasing email lists for marketing?

I'm thinking of doing this and would like to know how is it that you figure out how much a subscriber is worth. Is there a formula for figuring out how much I should pay for, let's say, a list of 10.000 people? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    I just heard that most are garbage and spam honey traps and before you open your business, you will be closed before you say jack robinson...

    I'm sorry to hear it. This very recent thread explains concisely what you need to know, though: http://www.warriorforum.com/email-ma...ml#post9331922

      Let me explain why you don't want to do this. You are going to send out an email to a list of people who don't know you and have no idea how trustworthy you are and somewhere in the email you are going to ask them to buy something....plain and simple right? Ask yourself this...would you buy something from someone you don't know and have no relationship with?

    @Alexa Smith - Thank you for the link, Alexa! I learned a few things from there!

    @Kikrly - Why you wouldn't recommend that?

    @cborgrx - You have a good point here. How about if the person I buy the list from introduces me for a couple of weeks to his list? People would get to know me and the transition would be easier. This is just hypothetical.
