And your a stand up guy and your reviews would be valid. But you are far away from the average user...and I still think you...I should say I know you can succeed as a vendor and never have to give out samples. As I did it..And so have a lot of others. And I also think that any item that is $0 should not be counted. Sure it might hurt the new guy a little...But if he is dealing with a legit person...that tried the sample...then that person should buy from him and leave a real review. But what it does protect is the community from vendors stacking their feedback to scam. And as DPR said it..that's how they do it. And if you are a new buyer...then you should never FE. And you will have no problems..and the great thing is..there are PLENTY of vendors to use that do not require it. I do not want it gone...I am just saying to protect new buyers.
