At a recent auction, I bid on and won an auction lot that included some software. Just for the record, the docs for this software came in some really spiffy binders. That was what I actually was bidding on. I had no idea what the software actually was. So anyway, with finals and the holidays I just let it all sit until this week. When I looked at the software, lo! It was all marked "Dealer copy--not for Resale". So, I called the company and found out a bit about the software and what it was worth. Turns out my $4 binders retail for about $17000. Ok, so I was already sitting down, which was good. Now, you can probably already see what the question is. Oh, one more point, the auction was a out-of-business auction. So, what's my position? Can I sell this software? I wouldn't misrepresent it, but I don't feel that I am bound to not sell it, since I am not a dealer. Anyway, I am not quite sure where I stand, and would welcome input. -Scott -- ***************************************************************************** * F.B.I.B.M.--The most feared merger * gsbg9079@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu * *****************************************************************************
