As with anything, I think there are 2 ways to look at it. One way is, Mega is a great guy who spends time and effort to be successful in his trade. The other is 2 or more people going in on something to save money. My neighor and I split the cost of a log splitter to save money. The people who made this product, shipped this product, and sold this product may be great people as well who spend time and effort in their trade. Am I a cheap ass scumbag as well? I guess I shouldn't be splitting logs.
Obviously I made a bit of a generalized blanket statement and it's a bit of a subjective situation.
Having said that, I'd assume you are aware that MegaLocks has been profitable for years and clearly works EXTREMELY hard at what he does to provide great picks. This year he has gone out of his way to setup a VERY clean and well run website that has all his picks, let alone write ups and tons of other good info and links. And he is ONLY charging less than $150 whereas most big name "Touts" charge upwards of $500 for season long packages.
Not only that, but he's not a scumbag tout, he readily admitted that he has to take a lot of time to come up with his insight and he is at a point where he wouldn't mind being compensated. There are no shady tout tactics as from what I can see....
Anyway seeing as his work/picks are that good and his price is so low, I just think it's kind of lame to take money out of his pocket yet also enjoy all the benefits of having paid full price. Seems unfair and somewhat shady to me, maybe you feel differently.
Glad you came back with maturity vile. I'm well aware of Mega's past, and he no doubtedly is worth more than $149. As I've gotten older, and grayer, I try to find different viewpoints and equal comparisons to a certain subject. I've also learned that my viewpoint may not be always the best, or that more than one opinion has validity.
In this case, I can see your opinion, and another as equally valid. I just thought the "cheap scumbag" remark was out of line. Anyways, what do ya say we all win some money today.

Yes I agree, no reason I had to stoop to name calling or whatever. if anything you are just being pragmatic and trying to save some bucks nothing wrong with that. I maintain that to not pay the full price if you have the means to do so might be a bit "frugal" at least, but doing so doesn't make you a scumbag by any means. Now if you tried to actually profit yourself off those picks would be scummy lol but clearly not your intent at all so again my apologies. Lets get this money this season brother. kth)(&^
