Grey / Blackhat List Building Using Ebay - Make Easy $$$ - What do u think?

Hey Warriors,
I've been secretly toying with this idea to build an email list, without the user opt'ing in. I consider this grey/blackhat for this reason. I recently stumbled upon a method of making EASY money online by selling email addresses on eBay.
What I do is take a hot topic or niche, say iPhone for example, and register an email account with one of the free email providers (preferably Gmail) that relates to the topic. Then I would list it for sale on eBay in the Cell Phones (or its corresponding) category.
Examples:
Back in November I sold a few email addresses using this method.
I sold G1Purchase@gmail.com for $152.50!!! No kidding. See screenshot:
I also sold orderG1phones@gmail.com on the same day for $46.00!
I also sold several other email addresses that day with sales ranging from $.99 on up. Its great because the email addresses are free to register, so there's no real expenses other than eBay listing fees (which is pennies).
The main reason I started doing this was obviously to make easy money, however I realized that I was also building a HIGHLY targeted email list, that I could potentially market to at later dates!
I also came to discover that I could register pretty much ANY targeted domain name, and give away lots of free email addresses that my web host offers for free!
For instance:
Let's say (figuratively speaking) I registered and hosted a domain named www.weightlossexperts.com, and I started giving away (or selling) email accounts to interested people that wanted to sound more professional or whatever. I.E. john.doe@weightlossexperts.com, jane.doe@weightlossexperts.com, etc.
The people receiving these email addresses would obviously be highly targeted to weight loss, hence I would market the crap out of affiliate products, CPA's etc.!
What do you Warriors think about this method of list building and making money in a different way?
