This is not an ad, just a question. I am about to purchase a great deal of software in a bundle, i already own about four of five of the applications. I was wondering is it legal to sell software over ebay or the classifieds here, bearing in mind i'd of actually bought the sofware twice? Sorry for the stupid question, but i'd rather be on the safe side than be burned by the law...

Thnx plambham

I'm not a lawyer, but I can't imagine how you'd get burned reselling unopened software.

On the other hand, this was in USA Today, today.

Hmmmm. I would say that if you can avoid buying the bundle and just buy those that you don't own (unless it saves you a lot of money), then avoid it. I guess something like that just might be a good-luck, bad-luck kinda thing. Considering some of the laws we have, it wouldn't surprise me if there was something that was against this. But then again, you only live once (I would probably do it if it was me ).

Our policy is that we only allow sale of unopened software.

Some EULAs do try to put conditions around the resale of software, but in general you should be good on Ebay.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

   

AS long as you list the Software honestly, selling on ebay is no problem.

Are you sure that you didn't mean that you don't allow sale of opened software?

Thanks That's EXACTLY what I meant

thanks guys i think i should be okay because i will have actually bought the software twice

Just make sure someone else can register it, some huge packages are tied to the buyers name.

 

Is this ppc software or pc software. With ppc software, when I have "bought it twice" because of a deal, most have been very helpful. As soon as they realized it was the same ppc name and email, therefore the same registration, I was actually refunded for the original sale.

If it is a bundled package like the adobe complete suite for pc, Adobe expressly says you cannot seperate the modules.

your specific situation may be different as well.

Ok. i'm thinking not to sell. But they refund you? How did you get them to do this, can you just tell me what you did in order for them to do this? This could save me a fair amount of money
