I’ve been getting these emails by the dozens lately. A new spam/scam type is out: partnership proposal emails. I’m still not sure what they want as they never seem to answer when you reply back, but here are some of the emails:

Hello,

I just came across your website – wcasinos.net and I want to ask if I can sponsor a text link on your website.

Please e-mail me back and I will send you additional information.

Best Regards,
Todd McGregor

New LLLL.com price guide is out by Reece and we can see that prices have slowed a bit:

Data derived from TDVR.com, the largest LLLL.com database. Numbers in parentheses reflect Feb 17, 2008 statistics. Current prices reflect the results of the 500 most recent reported LLLL.com sales within the Feb 25, 2008 through Mar 5, 2008 timeframe.

*Minimum Wholesale : $48.00 ($52.00) -> 8%

10th percentile: $59.00 ($60.00) -> 2%

25th percentile: $65.00 ($67.00) -> 3%
