I don't understand the market at all.  who creates and sells these "beats", exactly what ARE they and who buys them?

Doesn't make sense to me either on the surface because if we were talking about loops I would think anyone could find "free" ones to download somewhere.

So I can come up two other possibilities:

1. Guys are making said beats and trying to sell them.

2. Perhaps it's a euphemism for something far less legal than pirated intellectual property.

Thanks for everyone's input.  

Paulo, yes, CL = Craigslist 

But bottom line I still don't understand.  I do agree with all of the speculations. 

I would think that quality "Beatz" are more than just a drum groove. Some are very well produced and arranged. Some have pre-built hooks. 
The sheeple that buy them think they are the next big thing but all they need is a track to sing/rap their drivel to and then they will be a star. I think it's a pretty big market as all the prey on the ignorance markets go (the fringes and mainstay of the "music biz").

I checked my CL (didn't know what CL meant either) and got nothing.  Soundclick has a big market I think.

come to think of it, I think that most musicians have a better chance selling their track/beatz to other wannabe's than selling their finished song.

The "beatz" that I simply cannot compute (shaddup, grandpa) are the ones that purposely "drag" against the beat.  They are quite literally out of time and break the, so called, groove.  Why would anyone want to NOT have a groove???

I have some groovin' sine waves for sale. Buy two and I'll throw in an authentic sawtooth, just like the ones used by DeadMau5.

Deadmau5 is toast...new beatzes come from ......AAAAGGGGHH!!!

I think you're probably right, Tim, and yes, I've seen a lot of "for sale" beatz on soundclick, too, but I almost never use my soundclick site any more.
 
however, I see them on our DFW CL all the time.
