I am trying to figure out the best and cheapest (and legal) way of getting MS Office Small Bus. Edition for a new computer I am purchasing. I found these three choices:
1. Dell - $579.99
2. Tigerdirect.ca - $259.97
3. ebay - from about $150 - $200 including shipping for the Ulitimate version
Its seems the best deals are on ebay but they seem TGTBT. The ebay listings say they are full retail versions that are brand new and unopened. Also, a lot of these ebay vendors have little or not feedback history.
The tigerdirect deal is for an OEM version that does not come with discs but is downloaded from Microsoft. What happens if you need to reload the software later on?
Why would anyone pay the full retail price which is more than double????
