Selling Data Lists

Hello everyone,

No idea if this is in the right place or not so feel free to move.

I have a list of about 400,000 records in a particular indusrty. Where would I be able to sell this ?

For example to a call centre/marketing company ?

Any help would be appreciated :)

    Do you have the permission of everyone on the list to release the list to a third party for marketing purposes?

    Because if you don't, you'll be in breach of the Data Protection Act.

    The business you are looking for is a list broker

    Yes, everyone on the list is actually on the list because they have agreed for their details to be passed on to third parties.

    List Broker you say, I will have a look at thank you :)

    Remember to salt the list heavily with your own aliases, otherwise the first company to buy it will sell it 100 times over and you'll never know. There is precedence so use a reliable honest broker to reduce that risk and increase your revenue.

    Be aware that unless you generated that list yourself, whoever you got it from will have done the same and will be able to trace it back to you.
