I'm always very skeptical when I see something like this, but just curious if anyone has tried it.

It's a scam just like every other "get it free"...

I love this kind of stuff. I'll give it a try and report what I find.

there are deals like:
freeflatscreens.com
that are legitimate, but I don't know what kind of thing this is. I know I've seen one for a free 2005 fpw, but I can't remember the site off hand. THESE deals are legitimate.

I can almost guarantee it's gonna involve requesting a "free sample" through your "business." Let us know.

Yep, that's all it is. You owe Freakin $19.95.

I paid for the thing last night (through paypal) but received an e-mail from eBay this morning that the auction had been removed due to a violation of yadda yadda yadda. Now I gotta be sure I didn't lose my $.

I've read this before. It's a link to a website to all these overseas manufacturers. It then tells you, that you can write them and request samples for your businesss.

I'm the wrong guy to ask. I'm too lazy to even bother trying it. Someone could confirm it, and I still woudln't bother doing it. My guess is that it doesn't work too well, but it's probably possible to get SOME samples. The one I saw didn't have a single brand name I recognized. It was like that simpsons episode when Homer pointed out "all the top names. Like Panaphonic, Sorny, and Magnetbox"
