The last two years though, I've been a volunteer in East Europe and got back only recently. It's nice to see EarlC, D0n, others are still here.</p> <p>My problem: I've found a post on the Denver craigslist about CS5.5 master collection and other Adobe stuff being sold for $40 - $100. Now I'm not all that bright, and I've been gone for 2 years, but doesn't that seem way too cheap for how long cs5.5 has been out? (2 mos. right?)</p> <p>I'm wondering if this is legit or not, and will be inquiring before buying to protect my money. I'd like input on whether this seems illegal or what.</p> <p>Thanks for the input :)</p> <p>See <a href="http://denver.craigslist.org/ele/2543434403.html" rel="nofollow">http://denver.craigslist.org/ele/2543434403.html</a> for the post I found.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/scam-alert-1#post-67079 Sat, 09 Apr 2011 14:27:51 +0000 XTR-91 67079@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>batteries.com</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/direct-software-connectioncom-legit#post-51080 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:59:54 +0000 designcbts 51080@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ </p> <p>Has anyone else purchased downloadable software from this online company? I bought Adobe Photoshop CS3 - It has been a frustrating experience. Rather than send you a link where you simply download and install the program, they send you six links to a third party site (rapidshare.com). This site informs you that you have to wait to download each link, but that you may purchase (non U.S. currency) a faster download speed. The fifth link failed and I had to start over. Then I had to extract the files with the shareware that Rapidshare provided. </p> <p>When I finally got to setup, my Norton AV informed me that it had detected and quarantined a trojan horse and it's associated tracking file.</p> <p>Believe it or not, I actually was able to install Photoshop. I am worried that something down the line is going to corrupt, expire or otherwise make me deeply regret my decision. </p> <p>I was also supposed to get Adobe Lightroom for free as well. The link provided said that I had used up all my allowable downloads. </p> <p>I'm writing this to warn everyone before buying any software from this company... </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/cannon-xl2-vs-sony-pd150#post-50395 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:34:37 +0000 saint 50395@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So i have an opportunity to get a used cannonXL2 for only 200 more than my PD150 which I could trade. Just how superior is the XL2 to the PD 150?</p> <p>I am still feeling it out, it smells a little fishy. A guy in Oakland has a jvc 200U for 3500, and could be worked lower, really wants to sell fast had it listed for a few days at 4100.00. when I said it was more money than i had considered he then offered up the XL2. the XL2 which is not listed (on craig's list, the JVC is). </p> <p>He wanted me to go to Oakland with cash today or tomorrow I basically told him that wasn't happening. His story is that him and some buddies took classes and bought the cameras and then just decided they weren't that into it and he is tired of them sitting around.</p> <p>Little worried about the source of the unit to be honest. How do you check if the unit is stolen is my main concern. </p> <p>the guy knew about drum hours and fan hours... but was kinda vague as to his projects and where he had used the camera etc.</p> <p>any thoughts as to whether I should pursue this </p>
