    My guess is that it teaches you how to lie and scam business for free samples.

    Yeah, you are going to basically get a list of wholesale distribution places, which u then have to convince (scam, or trick whatever you want to call it) to send you a free sample product.

    there are many distributors who actually do give out free products to businesses in hopes that after trying the product you will believe it to be sales worthy and hopefully you will then order a big bulk shipment for your own business(so not everyone will qualify for these particularly those w/o a business)...

    there are also companies who do give promotional products to the general public. However, they tend to have very very small supplies of the product to give and by time you request it they will most likely be out of it, and then may end up using all the personal info you just filled out to send you more junk mail...

    quote from the auction:

    "Until my recent retirement, I was the Chief Marketing Director of north America for a major global distribution firm, one of the largest in the world, for 8 years. I worked at the company for a total of over 20 years. During my career, I have received just about every electronic device you can think of, for free. Actually I have had companies beg to send me additional free products. I'm not joking! I have received thousands of electronics. My house and condo are filled with some of the latest entertainment systems, including HDTVs, DVD players/changers, surround sound systems, mini-disc players, and many other great consumer electronics. All of my vehicles are equipped with TFT LCD monitors, DVD players/changers, CD players/changers, navigation systems, audio systems, and much more; all completely free. I have given many of these mobile electronics to my co-workers, friends, and family. I also have sold many of these free products and have made big $$$$$, which helped out with my very early retirement. "

    "...MAJOR GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION FIRM..."

    that means he is supposed to be distributing the products he gets. the ones that are free, are to be tested and evaluated, so that the companies he represents can decide if they want to sell that particular product.

    NO company is ever going to give a free "sample" of a tv, monitor, stereo, etc to an individual. you will need to provide proof that you are in fact a distributor like this guy supposedly was..
