People Asking for Review Copies in Buy/Sell/Trade Section

    Ok,

    I've only sold one product in this area of this forum, and I more than likely don't plan on doing it again.

    The reason? I find it annoying with the number of people who clog your thread asking for a review copy. It's not just me, but nearly every single thread I see in the main Buy/Sell/Trade section of this forum.

    I mean, nearly half of these products are sold at prices that are incredibly low. And I mean prices equal to that of a fast food meal at McDonalds, some even less than that.

    And the sad part? Most of the people who ask for review copies won't even use the material. It's been said that people who actually purchase something will use it more than if they got it for free, because they not only have a vested interest, but they've actually INVESTED something into it.

    Is it me going crazy, or are there others out there who think this is a little beyond ridiculous?

    Sorry for the rant, but it just drives me nuts to see how many people ask for review copies for products that are dirt cheap and affordable.

    Well, we could not avoid people asking fro free...and I think DP is now known for that sad to say...on the other hand buyers are also careful on buying something because it is also a known fact that there are a lot of crap sellers here co-existing with legitimate sellers...
