those of you who got on the XP Deal

Post by UNKNOWNDUDE »

I mean $52 dollars for lava and full retail pro version. I am being cheap bastard , some guy bought from me lava lamp for $40 hehe and I being to cheap I cant let myself open and install the windows xp since its being sold on ebay for $150 and in stores for $299. I rather get corporate version from friend who got it at work. Damn do you think compusa or staples will take my version for store credit without receipt?

I'm not familiar with the deal but is it a NFR version, in that case no chance in hell of returning it anywhere, and you can't sell it either, well not legally anyway.

Man, don't hold back now... why didn't you just make a thread saying: "I Pirate software! And I return things for full retail price that I have no right too!

No need to be so open about your lack of ethics.
"Why build only one when you can build two for twice the price?"

No shit. This is a case of outright theft/fraud.
