I've checked Amazon and its selling for 800 dollars!??? And I cant find it for mac. Also I've checked Adobe's website but still cant find it anywhere. And I dont want CS2 because its REALLY SLOW when I did the trial version and I like PS7 just alot better (I have a bootleg version on my other computer but its all in German and I dont know german haha). So where for less could I buy PS7??
Got a tip for us?

Sites like Amazon or eBay are your only real choices. (unless someone has a copy here). Don't expect to find it for less than a few hundred dollars.
Do you think that this auction is worth a try? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ADOBE-PHOTOSHOP...ryZ80254QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
Is it okay to buy software that has been used already, will it install on my computer?

Only if it is a genuine, full retail version (not Academic or site license) AND if the seller has not already used it to upgrade to a newer version (in which case the older one has no license and they are not permitted to sell the CDs) AND if the seller transfers all the original CDs serials and manuals to you together with a letter authorizing the transfer of the license to you and revoking all interest in it themselves, and they delete it from their machinejakochampolska said:
Suffice to say that the vast majority of eBay sales fail one or more of the conditions.

He isn't kidding. Before my old school entered into an agreement with Autodesk I bought the full (non edu) version of AutoCAD R14 (which was outdated still, but it was what the school had) from ebay. I kid you not, I did everything I could to verify that this was all legit, right down to calling AutoDesk with the serial number he provided me. (yes he gave me the serial before purchase--bet that doesn't happen today). Autodesk gave the green light and I went running. I spent just over $200 for it, which was an amazing deal. I got everything but the box, but it looked good and I didn't care. I installed and registered. Two weeks later I had an issue with a plumbing library that I wanted to use. Autodesk told me my serial number was actually blacklisted as one of the many that were stolen from a retailer I guess. They had me look at my CD and such and it turned out the CD was burned as well! I was taken, big time. The guy got away with it, but I tossed $200 down the drain on that.
The only other time I've been really taken on ebay was when I bought Flash on ebay and did local pickup. It was all fake, but the box was real. I called Macromedia and reported the guy, filed a police report and sent the cops to the guy's house. Needless to say, I was given my money back.
hmm interesting stuff you guys wrote, I think I might have to think twice about buying something off ebay. I've had a bad past with people on ebay anyway.
