Buying from ebay

[Jack]

Has anybody ever bought software from ebay? There seems
some bargains on there, especially for software upgrades,
any feedback anybody?

 

[C.S.]

Bought full version retail WinXP for about 1/3 less than it would have
cost buying at a retail store.

Check out the feedback of any sellers you are considering buying from
and ask them questions before bidding so you are absolutely clear on
what it is they are selling, shipping costs, etc.

Buyer beware. Some people have reported being ripped off as they get
software that cannot be activated on their machines.
