    Second Hand Software

    Does anyone have any tips to help my get my hands on legitimate second hand software such as Windows XP and Photoshop?

    I've been looking on ebay and to say the half of it is beyond dodgy looking is a major understatement.

    luck of the draw on ebay.

    have managed to get 2 boxed products, tho, from same:

    Adobe Video Studio Pro - AE 6.5 Pro, PPro 1.5, Encore, PS CS1, Audition - came to 470 - BARGAIN

    Recently got PS CS2, Illustrator CS2 and Indesign CS2 - 378 all in. Again a bargain. For a friend.

    both have had license transferred without a hitch etc.

    That does cause a problem if you are not a student.

    Fuddam, that second lot really is a bargain. I need to start looking out for these more.

    Luckily I am a student so I have had a look down that avenue but I was hoping some second hand licenses might better cheaper, a bit cheeky perhaps?

    If you are a student - http://www.studio8student.co.uk

    Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Fireworks, Contribute and FlashPaper for £75 inc vat! Bargin!

    (BTW - I won one of the iPod shuffles on the front page )
