What is the deal with these things? There are more and more auctions for "information" on how to get this stuff for "damn near free".

I heard some of them involve basicly lying that you are a "reviewer" and scamming to get new hardware to "test". Does anybody know any more?

yeah, you can read this two different ways. The way I read it is you pay me $300 and I'll tell you where to go to buy a G5. Not necessarily for $300, but I guaranteed you I'll give you information on how to get a G5!

Wow, no bids, yet. You're bidding on rights to recieve a link to a website that sells stuff.

I suppose this is legal, but it's on an ethical level with the Nigerian email guys, and time-share sales pitches.
