<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Maringer, post: 176302, member: 7033&quot;]<b>Address Harvesting.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I think the main idea is the collection of a mailing list. There are companies that deal in mailing lists, and varying prices are paid by clients based on various criteria. The most important criteria in purchasing an address in that it is for someone that has purchased by mail recently. Such addresses are worth several dollars EACH, which far surpasses the cost of the dollar coin and postage. I think these people are basically address harvesting for profit. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, Shire Post Mint NEVER EVER sells or distributes our mailing list. It is considered confidential information. I have had multiple offers to purchase my list for up to $3 per name... but all such offers are refused as a matter of policy. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to do an experiment and track the sales of your name from these lists... send in your order and use a different middle initial with each vendor. Keep track of which vendor you order from with each different initial. When the junk mail starts to arrive using those initials, you will be able to tell which outfit is selling your name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
