you usually should not need to pay for info but for things you want to give a try but dont want to kick yourself for paying out for something that was just a look or two or didnt suit you....e.g a wholesale/dropship site like esources or some other site that looks interesting...then maybe forumers can register their suggestions, so they can make arrangements privately for a shared login???
Or maybe there could be a way to sell the membership to re-coup the cost but give a great deal to the buyer. Just a suggestion, dont know how feasible it is
