Legal Question in Business Law in Minnesota

Website Linking and Selling

Would it be illegal in any way to gather a list of websites offering free gifts (such offers as free gaming systems in return for signing up for promotional activities), and sell the list (of website addresses) to people on ebay - as long as I don't take credit for the sites being my own?
