Does anyone one know of a good place to buy PS CS Full or even PS 7.0 + CS Upgrade if that is cheaper? I uninstalled my version of PS 7.0 and I'm looking to buy the latestest and greatest. Drop a link if you have one. [righton]
It has been awhile,

WHere should I look tobuy PS CS Full version? Post #2
Be very careful going to eBay to bid on anything Photoshop. I recently tried bidding on an unopened, unregistered version of Photoshop 7 and I got slammed with a ton of illegal e-mails from idiots wanting to sell me their burned, bogus copies of the program.
I spent two days with Adobe and eBay reporting each of them ... a grand total of twenty-five people trying to sell ripped copies.
So just beware ......
As of right now it will be hard to find anywhere that is selling the program at a reduced rate, since it just came out. Also beware using discount websites, for anything cheaper than $700 and you're taking a risk.

I've purchased perhaps twenty pieces of software on eBay (although never Adobe software) and have never received such a response. Did you use your e-mail address as your eBay ID? That used to be considered good form until people began to be assailed with garbage offers like the ones you received at which time eBay suggested that those who had used e-mail addresses change to a nom du eBay. Then if people got to you, they had to log in to send an e-mail and, as it is against the rules to use eBay's system to sell outside of the normal channels, you can have that eBay ID revoked by complaints in the proper channels. I'm glad you took the time to report all the frauds, even though it was a pain in the neck.

Well I looked at work today and if I get it there I can purchase CS for 564.xx (something around that range). But I'm going to contunue shopping around. I just can't justify spending that kind of money on something that I will probably not see a return on for another 3+ years. Thx fo the input though.. I too looked at all the scams going on on ebay.. }

Personally I think Adobe charges way too much for its programs, always has. Believe me, it's been tempting to keep the dozen or so full copies of Photoshop 7 and 8 that have arrived to me by mail, but in the end it's about ethics.
Ethics seems pretty stupid when compared to $700 or even $564. For honestly, are these programs really worth this much money? I mean how much are Adobe employees making? I don't know about them, but the rest of us barely make above-poverty wages.
