eBay Chatter - Watch out for free seminars

As we often hear, very little is ever really free.

These seminars come in the area occasionally and I believe one came through here a month or so ago where free gifts, meals and supposed education is offered.

I went to one in Nashville for a motivational and investment seminar. Did not get anything free but it was interesting. Luckily the lines signing up were long and I was still hungry, so I did not sign on the dotted line.
