whats the price these days for...

Hi D3ano,
Here's a couple of pointers for you, & things particularly to look out for when selling software on. Hope the following helps:
The price would depend on several conditions, such as whether you are selling the FPP (Full Packaged Product) or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) versions. In either case, they would need to be sealed, including the handbook & unused COA (Certificate of Authenticity) label. The OEM package would need to be unbranded (e.g. nothing like "Dell" stamped on it), & would also need to be sold with relevant hardware to qualify for OEM distribution (so your price would need to include your costs for the qualifying non-peripheral hardware supplied).
In either case, the software should not have been supplied with or installed on any other PC, as this could then cause any subsequent buyer of the software to fall foul of copyright law.
(OEM software being eligible for use solely on the PC / or with the non-peripheral hardware it was originally supplied with, and FPP software on the original PC it was installed on, then one other - once removed from the original system.)
I hope that this helps clarify a couple of things that you may not have been aware of, since the BSA are presently taking a rather tough stance against grey market goods, and both suppliers and end-users can end up in trouble. I don't mean to offend or presume that your intentions are anything less than honourable, but thought that since you're not sure of the going price of this software, you may also be unaware of these other factors.
Please contact me offline if you need OEM prices or any further info.
