Hi All,
I ended up at a site, www.buysusa.com ,that sells Photoshop 7 for $49.
They claim it's a legit sealed CD, it can also be registered but tech
support isn't available. Has anyone had experience with this type of
software? Is this a scam? When I clicked on the "buy" button, my browser
didn't like their certificate of identity. Has anyone else dealt with
buysusa?

Kingdom,

On their site it says that the software is OEM that came with hardware
and fully legal. As I read their "Terms of Service", it spoke about
being an OEM copy and that the user has to have a legal license to the
same original software. By buying their software you're also agreeing
not to have your credit card company "charge back" the amount of the
purchase. Like you said,"If it sounds too good to be true it usually is..."

Since Adobe has publicly stated that there is no such thing as an OEM
Version of PhotoShop, and Resellerrating-dot-com has *nothing* on "BuysUSA"
(or anything similar) ...

It's a SCAM ... RUN (don't walk) for the nearest Exit.

FWIW:
You can check out what a vendor's "track record" is at ResellerRating.com

I purchased CS2 from buysusa.com for $199 and it's everything they claim it is. Full blown version of everything. It is legit, sealed on two discs and easy to install and run. Who needs tech support anyway
