In looking all the usual places (Amazon, eBay, Adobe and others) I see some variation in pricing for the entire Creative Suite Premium (1.3)… wondering if anyone here has a tip as to the absolute lowest price dealer for the whole package?

I need full retail, not educational, and must be unopened, original, registerable, etc, etc…

thanks in advance for your advice

Michael,

You should use Pricegrabber.com; they don’t show EVERY retail dealer but they probably cover pretty much the full range of prices. Pagecomputers.com appears to have about the best price for around $1030 … I don’t believe the one for $589; must be a mistake

thanks Elizabeth –

was hoping for a magic cheap-cheap source, but the $1030 is the lowest of the regular retail I have seen.

the $500 is the ‘academic’ version, which I have definitely seen for less. (but I guess using my pc to ‘teach’ someone about photoshop doesn’t count as academic, too bad!)

well, it’s not "cheap" but if you’ve been using these programs you know there’s a LOT of value in the box for ~$1000 … I assume you’re aware of the cheap sources but it’s not really worth it in the long run, at least IMO …. I will do that routine to see if a product is really worth it to me but the Adobe stuff proved itself a long time ago
