Unopened Office XP Standard - $???

[David Prahl]

I won a copy of Office XP Standard at a Microsoft© event last year. It's been sitting (in the event bag) in my room for a year, and I'd like to sell it.

What do you guys think is a reasonable price? It's retailing at $480 still, but Office 2k3 is coming out in a few weeks.

Is $200 too low? Most geeks already have a pseudo-legal copy, and most normal people will pay retail. What should I do?

Anyone interesting in buying it?

I don't know if ebay will let you sell a copy of Office. I had a copy of Matlab pulled off ebay once.

I don't think it was designed to be sold, since it was a give-away. Microsoft might have something to say about it if I took it to market.

I've seen Office 2003, and they're aren't that many improvements. The only major thing is a changed color scheme (blue and orange).

Does it have a big "NOT FOR RESALE" sticker on the front? If so, you can't sell it. If not, you can sell it without any problems. Trust me, I've done it before. ;-)

Duuuuuuude....get serious! :lol: There are lots of improvements, especially to Outlook. I'm sure www.microsoft.com/office has more info.

And I believe in the Professional edition they have added that neat program called OneNote!!
