Hi All I know I may be weighing in late on this "discussion" (have been out of the loop for a bit), but thought I'd just add to it. One thing I really love with those sort of "buy it cheap sites" are when you actually come to order it. Sure, they advertise the product cheap, but go and run through the order process. I added one to a cart and went to ship it to WA (my postcode 6110). The shipping price is $38.50exGST for the education version. The total price then went up to $122.40incGST. Considering the education RRP from another wholesaler I get it from is $102incGST plus their $11 freight charge, it still works out better.
A find this a lot with some of these "cheap" sites. It would be like advertising a new iMac worth $1600 for $800* (*Conditions Apply) then saying that it has to be delivered and the delivery price is $900. Just my 2cents worth anyway. Side note - if anyone is interested then yes I can get the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. The Retail version has an RRP of $154. Am happy to do it a little bit cheaper for WAMUG people, but like everything there's very little in it these days (and I still have to eat, even if it's just one meal a day) ;o) Hope that helps a little. :o) Kind Regards Daniel On 31/10/09 2:29 PM, "Ronda Brown" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 31/10/2009, at 1:05 PM, John Daniels wrote: > >> >> Hi Folks >> On the Adobe site the price of Elements 8 for Mac is currently US$79 >> which is AUD $88.
