I'm auctioning off my old PowerTower G3 on ebay. It's got _tons_ of stuff in that minitower case, like 192 MB RAM, 8 GB SCSI HDs, Voodoo 3, Plextor 32x CD-ROM. Go check it out, the auction ends today (in fact, in a couple of hours)

Selling this computer with lots of commercial graphics software installed "for evaluation purposes only" is sleazy. Give me a break. Either stop trying to kid anyone and admit you're engaging in software piracy, or else delete the commercial programs from the drives when you sell it.

This doesn't reflect very well on your integrity. I'd think twice before sending any money.

Jo Mamma is right -- including software on a machine with license constitutes piracy. You yourself say that it "must be used in accordance with software copyright laws" which means deleting it right after they receive it since they don't own the license.

The seller should really delete the software, but if they're too lazy or what not they should tell the high bidder to do so after the auction is over, and certianly not mention it as a selling point in the item's description.
