I don't give a shit who you are, buying those sigs is not worth it, not even close to 8 grand... Why - we all know the population over at GFY and the intellectual level...
Maybe if GFY was a packed board full of webmasters who earn 10k+/month, but we can all solidly estimate that the average income per month of a GFYer is probably $500-$1000/month.
I'll tell you why BradShaw sold his sig, cause he's not a fucking idiot, and he knows his sig isn't even worth close to 8 grand.
Most of the people buying sigs are wealthy and the money is insignificant to them, cause if the money was significant, they wouldn't be buying them
That is why certain people are getting paid so much for their sigs..
Most of those big programs should take the thousands they spend, buy a list, and "mail" the shit out of them, cause for most big affiliate programs today, that is the lifeline..
