No insult to Bigserge or his friends but I find it very hard to believe that someone is selling 3D studio max 3.1 and Maya 2.5 for those prices. An retail verson of Max goes for $3500.00 and a seller can get well over $2000.00 for it easily at an auction site. And Maya 3D, Oh gosh! Don't even mention the price of that! It all sounds too shady for me. A word to the wise for everyone here. If you see a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is and you are getting hack-ware or illegal copies. I am not saying that there are not any good deals out there!, however paying $300.00 for 3D studio max or Maya is like paying $1000.00 for a Ferrari and that my friends is one in a million! The funny thing is, some of you are even looking for illegal or hack-ware. Tell me something, Have you ever wondered why this stuff cost so much!?
