Also, on a lot of the software auctions, be sure to guarantee that when you buy the software, the necessary keys and codes are Included and New. Otherwise, you may end up paying for the CD and still have to buy the product to get the key. (Assuming all of us stay legal.)

One last thing is to actually read the terms and conditions, and the remedies available for faulty products. Reading these will ensure that you aren’t buying a product you can’t return if they don’t deliver exactly what was offered. It will also show you exactly where and how long it may take for dispute processes. I’d pay slightly more for a product to ensure that I can return it for a full refund or have it replaced if it is not exactly what was guaranteed.
