| 318514 | 2005-01-27 06:52:00 | Hi Team Due to a purchasing duplication it looks like I may end up with a redundant copy of the latest version of XP Pro (includes SP2), still in its shrink-wrapped MS box. It is the real deal, not an upgrade or OEM version. Any ideas on what the going rate might be if I decide to quit it? I was thinking of putting it in Trade & Exchange as I am not into Trade-Me. I know I could easily look at T&E or T-M for ideas, and I probably will, but I anticipate a more realistic response from PF1 members. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 318515 | 2005-01-27 07:10:00 | You may be lucky to sell it at all given the number of people using illegitimate copies that have never purchased a pc with an OEM version. I'd say look at the price in somewhere like Tricky Dickies, halve it and maybe that would be what you'll get for it. |

| 318517 | 2005-01-27 08:09:00 | Oh well, there you go. :cool: | manicminer (4219) | ||
| 318518 | 2005-01-27 08:17:00 | I wouldn't sell for less than roughly $180. Up to $250 I'd say | ~sy~ (95) | ||
| 318519 | 2005-01-27 10:37:00 | Erk :eek: DSE sell it for nearly $800 so I was hoping I might get a sucker . . . . oops . . . . kind person to pay around $350 . It wouldn't be a bad deal even at that price, but I guess I have to compete with the people who sell them cheaper (after copying the CD and writing down the key perhaps?) Cynical? Moi? Maybe if I throw in some other software and a shrink-wrapped copy of Windows ME (full, not upgrade) that I acquired in another life . :rolleyes: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 318520 | 2005-01-27 11:18:00 | Well others sell it for around $590.... It's just a damn insane price MS has set if you ask me. I reckon it's worth around $200 and the OEM version about $120. |

| 318521 | 2005-01-27 11:56:00 | Nothing more than $235.00. You can now buy full oem versions along with a piece of kit - no need to get it with a new computer. | Greg (193) | ||
| 318522 | 2005-01-27 20:42:00 | Be pleased at the $200-250 mark, estatic with anything more . If you throw in ME, discount the overall income from the package to $50 :rolleyes: |

| 318523 | 2005-01-27 21:16:00 | If it is the full retail version and not OEM I would list it for $450, make sure you wright a story explaining the difference and legalities between Retail and OEM. Worth a try for a couple of weeks, if that dosent work go for the $200 to $300 dollar range, I wouldnt go under $200 tho. You could hang onto it and try and sell it with a computer, if you build them. |
