http://www.best-oem-sellers.biz/ -- Is it legit?

[bluesabotage]

I got an email about this, and it seemed too good to be true. I hopped on over to the site and started to think about which products I wanted to buy (Adobe Photoshop CS 8.0, Corel Painter 8, etc...). Than it finally hit me: it seemed like there was something funny about it. I tried to do research on whether or not it was legit, and, didn't find much. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything or could help?

Thanks.

Download software from China for 80% or more discounts off retail and you wonder if it's for real.

Maybe you should e-mail Adobe and see if these people are licensed sellers of their software.Domain Name: BEST-OEM-SELLERS.BIZ

Thanks. i've seen a legit place similar to this, all you got was the CD (no manuals, box, anything). Unfortunately they blatantly stated they DO NOT have Mac OS X software. Bummer.

Yeah, if you go to adobe you can find out if they are legit...also, if you have to ask it is proabably a scam or pirated software. Don't do it.

Why so cheap!?

Unlike retailers, we do not sell software in a fancy box, with printed documentation, etc., meaning we do not shell out on CD manufacturing. The software itself is only what you get - available for download right after purchase

So the pricing difference is packaging/documentation. How interesting. Well, we now know that a box and a manual decrease the cost of 3D Studio Max from $3,999 to $199. Makes perfect sense.

Scams are amusing.
