I've only read the beginning of this thread, but fail to see why people have such a problem with the information being sold. I for one spend perhaps numerous hours some day going through FT and doing other online travel research. If somebody doesn't have hours a day to research these things, they might be quite happy to buy the information. There are things I don't know about, or don't care to do, and I buy the service, information, etc. With many things I buy, hypothetically, I could do research or somehow learn to do it myself or just do it myself, but I buy the product or service out of convenience. If a prospective buyer for the Concorde information did not want to bid on the auction, perhaps they would be able to search the internet anf find the data. Or maybe they find it easier to pay $25 just to get a step by step in their email. I have written a step by step on this, giving credit to one of the original threads and its posters, and have sent it to many of my friends for free. It conveniently has all the web links so literally in one document you have evreything you need for the deal. Currently the document is at version 2.1 taking in to account changes and research. If I sold this document, which took me some time to put together, there is nothing wrong with that. Is it wrong also to sell books on investing, taxes, the law, etc. You are paying a premium for the persons expertese which you likely don't have if you need to buy the product. Most people do not have the inclination to research all the nuances of this offer, and they might appreciate buying a concise document listing all the details. I have bought inforamtional reports in the past on things where I am not an expert, or where I want to sharpen my knowledge on a topic. There is nothing wrong with giving it away for free too, as many have done, and which I have thus far done with my document. People just get all fired up when another soul makes a dollar for whatever reason.
