You have to introduce anything in the right way, so people can treat you the right way. But if you write something like: "Get a $180 software for few bucks, just PM me", it doesn't really sound that you are a serious person.
If the publisher writes this, and you still defend it, who do you think we're going to listen to? To be honest, sneaking into different product numbers is not admirable, chances are Brad set this up as a JV with someone, and you stumbling on it, and telling this board that he set it up for you is ruining someones JV. Chances are he removed it because everyone is now going to use their own CB link to get it cheaper. So, you found a hidden gateway to his product that was meant for another webmaster and tried to monetize it without the publishers consent. Again, for being a new comer to the forum, and for trying to chop discounted products via unethical or sneaky ways, you have nobody to blame for getting flamed but yourself. This post below could have been your first post, proof upfront not through PM - perhaps you'd make people give you a kickback for sharing the news, or monetizing it in other ways. I will apolagize for being a tad harsh in my previous posts, but stand my ground re advice given. If the products no longer work past the sales page, it is due to your antics, therefore yes - you have interrupted his cycle and feel you do owe him an apology for this. This is my last post in this thread, best of luck to you and your future offers. NC.
you people... Its like going on google and looking for warez...and then say its LEGAL since you found them unprotected on Google. You were basically checking all of brads payment links to find a working, forgotten one, maybe one in test mode...to get a product cheaper - STILL far from legal. The best thing then you coming here onn the forum and selling them in public since (as it looks) you REALLY think its legal. Whats next? we post rapidshare links to "free" ebooks because we "found" them and then sell em here for $5? Or check whatever sales page has open sales links and thankyou pages and then post the URLs? Jeeezzusssss.....and then come to a WEBMASTER forum where the majority of people is selling stuff like this. BRAIN !!!!!!!!!!!
ahh well there we go.. its not legal. I said from the start i didnt want it if it rips off the publisher and I only thought it was legal at it was setup through CBs paylinks.
Maybe it's just where I come from, But when you're trying to defend yourself and apologise its best to flame as few people as possible...But hey thats just me.
