Need advice on purchase

Thursday, February 3, 2005 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am currently using psp 8 and it's time to upgrade. I can get the psp 9 upgrade for less than $50, but I was looking to see if I could find a deal on photoshop.

I have successfully bought legal software on ebay before, but photoshop sellers are a different story. I'm looking at several ads for photoshop 7 I see some sellers have them listed as "cd only" and "usable for upgrades", but they also say "not available for adobe tech support". Do you think this would be legal software?

Here are a few auctions I am looking at.

Island Dog, something else that makes me think these are legit is that they are all Photoshop 7. Since Photoshop is now at version 8 (marketed as Photoshop CS), it's possible that these maybe be clearance items, which can be bough for cheap since nobody would buy version 7 at full price when version 8 is out.


I agree with that and with what butch said. I just wanted to know what is legal and what isn't.

This is the one I'm looking at now.

He has several feedbacks with people saying they registered their software with no problem, his feedback is good also.

Thanks for all the replies. I was reading other forums and people were saying things like "used software is not legal", and things like that. I was really just curious if software that isn't registerable because a company went out of business, or somebody registered the software but decided they didn't want it, was still legal to own.

Thanks for all the advice everybody. I couldn't find any Photoshop auctions that I really trusted, so I just upgraded to Paint Shop Pro 9.

Get the trial for Photoshop CS and the rest of the Creative Suite for 30 days...you'll never buy 7 after that...and if you do have legit serials you can get a deal on CS. Try the whole Creative Suite here
