Is $0.05 per email and 5% of sales a good price? Is it too much or too less?

I have slowly but surely been learning a lot since I joined here last October as a complete and utter noob who didn't even know what hosting was. This place is like home to me now. I hope one day I can learn enough so that I can contribute back to this community. I am about to pursue another project and just want some advice.

I am offering a service to local businesses in my area. This involves obtaining their email addresses. I don't want to search roads upon roads of businesses and manually locate their email addresses on their websites. Is there a more efficient method to do this? I live in London.

If I outsource obtaining the email addresses of local businesses to someone else, could somebody please recommend to me where and how I would find this worker and how much should I pay them to do this? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I previously owned a business selling to local companies, there are a few ways you can get this info, but it actually depends on what you are selling as to which is the best way forward. Can you perhaps say what your selling to local businesses?

We agreed on 50 emails for $5 as a first run. I tested the person and they found an email address of good quality like the type I am looking for. They said their rate was 50 for $5 as opposed to 100.

The price sounds reasonable to me. Do try it out. Good luck with this venture.
