Software site

Post by cheesehead118 »

I found a site - http://www.buysusa.com - that advertises on amazon.com and claims it sells adobe products (after effects, premiere, and photoshop) for 90 percent off. It says the way it can do this is by selling only the sealed factory cd that they got from closeouts, bulk, ect. They say that the software is fully upgradable but does not qualify for tech support and comes only as the cd.
I was wondering if anyone has bought from this site or knows anything about it. It seems legit but what they are selling (OEM) software seems kind of strange, ive never heard of software sold that way.
They have after effects 5.5 and premiere 6.5 for 49.99 each. It almost seems to good to be true.

If something seems too good to be true. . . . it probably is.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that if they're selling anything for that price, it's pirate CDs. Then of course they could be selling nothing at all and just be ripping their customers off.

If they're really legitimate, those're some awesome deals.

Okay, I just looked up the website on some consumer feedback/rating sites--I can't find any information on them that says whether they're good or bad, or even a mention of their existence. Seems a bit risky to buy from them.
People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

I supose they could be unused OEM packages, still not legal to sell them this way. More than likely tho they are pirated software coming from some far eastern or eastern European country.
