[Pil-pc-oceania] [permaculture] MapInfo Professional 5.5 - 9 copies for $85 on eBay

[Darren Doherty]

G'day,

I have been in a meeting all day and it would now appear that the market has
reacted and so has the vendor, hence the opportunistic price hike - a
situation that I obviously have no control over. Obviously people have gone
straight to the vendor and put their orders in (as opposed to perhaps
cooperating somehow and going for bulk) and market forces have prevailed.

My message would be that if this software is at all valuable to you then
$115 is still a good price for a legitimate version.

Sorry if this has been a bum steer for some - What else can I say?

Thanks,

Darren Doherty
