Here’s one of my favorite tricks for getting software.
I needed a copy of Adobe Acrobat. Problem is a new version runs $299. On a whim, I went over to ebay.com to see what was available. And we get -

Here’s an older version of Adobe Acrobat Standard starting at $9.99 with shipping of $6.99. It will probably sell for $50 or less.
Now if we go over to Adobe’s site, we see that we can upgrade to Adobe Acrobat 9 from version 6 for $99.

Not a bad deal! Purchase both for about $150 and save $150 off of buying the full version of Adobe Acrobat 9. Or you may decide that Adobe Acrobat 6 is fine for your needs and not even upgrade to version 9. Put another $100 back in your pocket.
