BLUE SKY VALUE

[Don]

Hi Larry,

I once paid $5.00 for a list of 143 names and addresses. It was possibly
the worst decision I *ever* made. It took me 5 years to break even. People
don't want *another* tuner they want you.

Blue sky value is perhaps $1.00 per name imho, and that would be for the
*active* list so $800.00 max!
