If you have any questions about a particular ad that you see, feel free to post the details of the ad here (if you're worried about someone else swooping in to purchase it out from under you, don't post the seller's contact info) Personally, I won't buy anything off of ebay unless I know that I'm getting at least a 25% discount, because otherwise the risk of getting ripped off is too great and you would be better off buying it retail for the peace of mind.Īs someone who is very inexperienced with Avid in general, you should be leary of any deals that seem too good to be true. Deals can be had if you know what you're looking for and know your math. So his total investment was $1800, that's nearly 30% discount off the retail cost of MC. Though you may want to factor in the $100 license transfer fee.įor example, I sold my XpressPro last year to a colleague for $1200, he paid $100 for the license transfer, then upgraded to MC for $500. If you can find a used XDV or XpressPro for less than $1500 or $2000, respectively, then you will have gotten a deal on your MC. Upgrades from XDV and XpressPro are $995 and $495 respectively. Just make sure the used version includes a Dongle.
You could see if you could find an older version of XpressPro or XpressDV on ebay or elsewhere, then you could upgrade it to MC for less than the cost of buying MC straight out. See if your company would re-imburse you for the purchase. Though I suppose it is true that you could download any version you wanted for free, but in order to use certain versions would/may require a dongle kung-fu, As Carl pointed out, you can not use the Academic versions for paid work and because you're employed by a company, it could be reasonably expected that you could do work for the company on your system.

Updates as in patch releases are generally free, so 3.0 to 3.0.1 etc. Upgrading from 2.8.x to 3.0 was a paid upgrade.
