Hi Matt,
I'm one of your 76 views, but as I'm not a PC re-seller I didn't think it was worth filling in the form, and from the information they ask for I don't think I could convince them that I am.

fair enough WavieDavie
im a member of a number of forums, most now have a freebie forum, so people can share "free stuff" they come across on the net
you would be surprised at the number of things these "bigger" firms sent out as "gifts" for getting your e.mail address
the trick is with them, is to fill them out a few times, family members, Just before christmas, i got sent 7 USB PC lights (retail about 10 - 15 quid each) they were sent to family members, they are nice aswell, this was from a survey i completed in the summer , but i got them in the end
i allways say to people who say "you will not get anything, no1 gives away free stuff",
i allways reply with "you got to be in it, to win it, no harm in trying"
these cordless desktop set-ups are real nice, and aint cheap,
ebay here i come

Yes, thanks.
Civilty costs nothing. My mum would have killed me if she knew I hadn`t thanked you.

Hi Matt,
I've had a fair few freebies off the internet myself, but this is obviously for re-sellers and what are you going to say to the Logitech rep who knocks your door to convince you to order lots from them as you've taken their sweetener? A £30-£40 keyboard ain't no mousemat and his sales manager will be wanting your signature on an orderform or the rep's got a lot of explaining to do.
I'd duck out of this one, mate. Best of luck.
Good idea about selling on freebies on E-bay though!
WavieDavie i know what you mean, i had a free coffee maker and enough coffee for 6 months once, then a guy arrives selling Office furniture, he was expecting a Office building with 20 plus people in it, i told him i work from home, and wasnt interested, he was ok about it, i didnt even offer him a cup of coffee

Im Welsh, thats fairly close, celtic brothers and all that
that PC thing looks good, i knew about the day of the launch, the only thing that put me off, is they get you to sign a contract, saying you will have
watch up to 3 minutes of advertising per hour of use
that concearns me, not the fact that you will watch adverts, the fact is, the PC will have a spyware installed, so they can monitor what you do on your PC, so they can traget the specific adverts, NOW i dont really want big brother watching me surf the net (not that i do anything bad, its just a privacy thing)
