Offering MRR/RR Before Seeing the Product

I purchased a digital product before.

After my payment was processed but before I could download the product, I was presented with an opportunity to purchase MRR or RR on the product. Limited quantities and all that jazz.

But, if I haven't seen the product yet, how do I even know it is something I would want to sell to my customers?

Sure, maybe they did a good sales job and the price was low ($7), but that doesn't tell me anything about the product itself. While the person promoting it is well-respected in IM, that may increase the chances that the product is of a high quality, but it doesn't guarantee it.

So, how can I make a reasonable determination before purchasing it? Sure, I could purchase it and ask for a refund later, but then, you know, people start threads about, oh boo-hoo, how come they refunded ten minutes after downloading?

Maybe because (a) the MRR/RR offer was presented before the buyer could see the product and (b) sometimes it just doesn't take too awful long to make a determination of a product's quality once it can be looked over.

I turned down the MRR/RR offer. Good thing too because, ultimately, the product wasn't of sufficient quality that I'd consider selling it. It's something more along the lines of a giveaway or blog post material than something that should be offered as a paid product.

On the flip side, if it had been a good product, I would now have no way of purchasing MRR/RR on it.

It just seems backwards to me to offer MRR/RR (or even PLR, which was not applicable in this case) before you've had a chance to see the product. Maybe a follow-up would have been better. Something like, "Now that you've had a chance to review this product, if you would like to offer it for sale to your customers..." would have worked.
