Richard Dreyfuss has a new career! LOL.
I promise I'll watch the rest... but my first impression:
If you pay $25 for a lead with bad contact info, that's bad.
If you pay $4 for a lead with bad contact info, that's a different story.

True, and the Top Tier lead providers like AutoWeb will refund the $25 for both Bad Leads and Duplicates. The sketchy companies, not so much.
I missed the Refresh Friday, so I'm going to comment like most people do on the web - completely uniformed - but, IMHO, those who spend their time complaining about bad leads instead of selling the good leads should consider a career change. There are no bad leads, because bad leads are returnable and because the truly bad leads (wrong name, number and email address) don't really exist - move on and sell the good ones.
