    You will have to sell your list elsewhere as spamming services and lists are not allowed on Digitalpoint.

    I think smyrl was just telling you that you can't sell them here, do the names on the list know you are selling their email details?
    If you have no morals you could try one of the spamtard forums like blackhatworld or warriorforum.

    You realize there are endless types of databases out there...
    Just as guess, there are demographically targeted postal mail rental lists providers, some rent lists for a single use for about 10 cents a name, brokers take about 20%.
    Here's the mecca of mailing lists: http://lists.nextmark.com there are also phone number and email lists, U.S. can spam regulations might probably require you to email on the subscribers behalf.

    Thank you , on the site you linked I see where you can purchase a mailing list but not sell one. Do you know where I could do that? Having a hard time finding anywhere to sell.

    I've seen people trying to sell those in the BST section of webmaster forums but be careful. People hate spam. They hate spammers even more. and it's a serious offense

    Even if you find somewhere to list if for sale you'll have a harder time finding buyers. The people who might buy also know how to write their own scrapers and get the list for free.

    The people who might have bought from you 10 years ago know now that every time a recipient hits the spam button in gmail (et al) it will be harder for them next time. Decent people don't want to change domains and servers after every campaign so they're happy to build their lists slowly using accepted best practice techniques.

    As for @Smyrl's comment about spamming services - you misunderstood her reply. Selling your list is what's not allowed. You are more than welcome to ask the question.

    If you have a list of 1 million+ members.... why would you consider selling them to someone else, instead of making money from them on your own? It doesn't make sense, and that's the first question a prospective buyer will ask you when you approach them with your offer. It has to make sense. Otherwise you're only fooling yourself.
