A few minutes ago, a visitor named Phil left a comment on a post from August, HOWTO Become an eBay Millionaire. I took a quick look at what Phil has and it looks pretty interesting.
He buys those e-books you see being sold on eBay, which “explain” how to do a variety activities, such as manufacturing soap and candles or building a “virtual corporation.” Phil then posts those that offer resell rights online, for free download. This is a great way to see that pathetic products that people push, hoping to make a quick buck for shoddy information and packaging.
Don’t worry, Phil is probably making his money back in advertising sales.
So before you buy that e-book on eBay, check out Phil’s Floodle website. Perhaps what you’re looking for can be had for free, and perhaps it may not even be worth that price.

That’s a pretty interesting site and a cool service! Thanks for pointing out Phil’s site.
Hahaha this is a great idea.
I’d say that is good as long as the resell rights allow giving something away. Most of the products that I have resale rights for specifically prohibit providing it for free.
Great find, either way. I’ll bookmark it.
