Linux Journal Announces OS Resale Auction Site
Need to rid yourself of that OS that came packaged with your computer? This is the place.
Since Technical Editor Don Marti's
article on Softman Vs. Adobe
informed us of a California District Court's decision that software
bundled and purchased with hardware can be resold, we here at
Linux Journal have been thinking about all
those folks out there aching to sell that unused software that came
with some piece of hardware they purchased and are faced with the
difficult task of unloading something they bought and can't use.
It's not always easy to find that special someone looking to buy
the software you've got to sell. It's not garage sale season, and
we know that
eBay's
not the best place for such transactions.So, due to the lack of a proper forum that lets sellers of
such software find buyers, we decided to provide
OS Resale--an auction
site intended as a medium for those looking to rid themselves of
unusable software that came with their computers or other
hardware.The site's services are completely free and Linux
Journal does not make any money from the transactions
performed there.So break out that shrink-wrapped software, and recoup some of
the money you spent on your computer and the unused programs that
came with it. After all, you paid for it, you're free to sell it,
and there are better looking coasters than old Windows CDs.
