Okay, this is beginning to frustrate me.

Over the last while I've watch numerous people
trying to sell machines "loaded" with software like
Office, Adobe CS & Macromedia MX and saying things
like "over $2000 in software alone" and then
jacking up their price? I'm sorry, but unless your
selling the "original" disk with a legit serial number
that can be owner transferred then it's completely
off base. Selling pirated software to try and get more
for an older machine, come on. I realize you're selling
convenience but take the price hit in the chin and
move on.

I recently sold my G3 400 with 2 drives, 2 matching external
CRT etc. for the grand total of $350 (originally bought for
over $4500 (wiped drives & sold with 8.6 original sofware).
It was tough to part with at that price but legal nonetheless.

My Opinion, take what you can realistically get (which is
more than you'd get on a trade-in) and try and be happy
with it, as the next person will appreciate if they're getting
what they're looking for?

Just my thoughts.

Right on! This practice should be policed by the moderators on the Classifieds - it's nothing more than a form of piracy.

and nothing less than theft most of the time as well. :mad:

Yes, usually the mods are good about making sure people aren't freeloading licensed software in order to pump up their sale price. If you see someone doing it, report it and maybe people will eventually get a clue. :)
