Anyone know of a site or store that sells older versions of software? I'm specifically looking for old versions of Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I don't need the latest and greatest, so it's silly to spend several hunderd dollars for each, and it seems like I should be able to find old versions somewhere without too much trouble.
I have some old demos that I really like, but they've both got time locks on 'em.
Looking for legal, although I could be persuaded otherwise at this point. I am not spending $200 for a program I use about 10 minutes every week.

Well, I just went to halfprice.com and entered Adobe Photoshop in the Computer & Office section and saw several older versions, 2.0 and 3.0 for example, that were fairly priced.
That could be a start.

If only there were a giant garage-sale site where everyone goes to pawn off their excess merchandise... (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=Adobe+Photoshop+6&category0=)
(You might want to read the descriptions first though... you'll probably want to go with a sealed box if you want to make sure it's legal)
Also... you might try Froogle.

I do browse ebay, but thank you all the same. :) Bookman's too (great big ol' used bookstore), but like you said, buying used can be a crapshoot with modern registration techniques (anyone else notice you don't actually own your copy of HL2?).
