Unfortunately I'm in Asia and shipping charges add a big chunk on top, e.g. TigerDirect shipping charges would be $60 just to the UK (they don't seem to ship to Thailand! :( ). The Buy.com shipping inclusive price seems to be continental USA only. Etc...
I think that's why I originally got P6 from CP as a digital download, and not physical media. The big shipping charges rung a bell - sort of "Oh yes, THAT'S why I was just looking at just digital downloads on the CP site."
Back at the CP site: So I guess that SM has pulled the plug on selling older versions from the CP site - it's either the latest version (far too expensive for me - $249.99, plus shipping, or extended download) or Poser Debut (a very definite no-no for me given the observations on this thread)?
It would appear then that the only option is Amazon/Buy/eBay/etc.
Looking on the bright side, even with the shipping charges it seems possible to get a copy of Poser 7/8 delivered to Asia for under $100.
Now if only I could make that "under $50..." :)
(Thanks for all the feedback - I'm sure some reader will snap up those bargains!)
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
