Recently I was looking for an inexpensive copy of Dreamweaver Studio (website building software), and figured eBay was a great place to start looking. I found what I thought to be a fair price on a used copy of Dreamweaver Studio 8. The seller claimed the software disks were ‘lightly used’ with no visible signs of wear. They also stated that original packaging was not available, but the manual was included and the software was legal and was registered with Macromedia/Adobe. I went ahead and bid, and I ended up winning the auction.
