We have been in the datamining and data management business since 1992. In 2006 we decided to open our market to the Internet with both good and bad results.

Buying old databases is like paying money for last week`s newspaper.

The Internet is truly the modern era`s `Wild West.` We have seen our products illegally resold over and over, and we found there was little we could do about it. We have even had someone claim to `own` the intellectual rights to our databases and software.

While all of this is good drama, it is important that you, the buyer, are given information so that you can make an informed buying decesion.

1. We are the source of all the databases listed on this web site. We compile and maintain the data, including updating the databases several times a year.


2. If you see a similar database for sale out there, and they are listed as 2009 versions that is likely untrue. We have NO resellers of our 2009 databases. And the technology and skill required to compile and maintain databases with millions of records is daunting.


3. Feel free to ask questions of the seller. Ask where the data came from. Ask how current it is. Ask what tools they use to manage a 800 Mb CSV file. Ask about their infrastructure.


4. If you purchased a `2009 Database` similar to one we list here and you are concerned that you were duped and actually sold an old database, contact us and we will be able to tell you if the database is current or not.
