A lot of people are being spammed by this auction search software site.
Wouldn't it have been more receptable had they just chosen to advertise and support the sites instead of harvesting emails?
That should have been:

Unfortunately it seems to be much easier to harvest e-mail addresses than to promote a product 'unethically'.
I wonder if they have any idea how many potential buyers of their product they lost by sending out that e-mail.
I know there are those who do buy from e-mail they receive as spam--I'm not one of them, though. I can think of a half-dozen ways of starting to promote an item like that legitimatelly.
