Holy Cow, its going for $29.95 on Amazon with Free Super Saver Shipping! Seems like a deal to me since Poser Debut is $49 on SM!!!
Poser Pro 10 is $57!!!
Just in case anyone wants an upgrade, or to jump in on the Poser World. :)

Sounds a little bit too cheap in my ears.

They are new. And Amazon is legit.

If they can sell the product that cheap and still make money wonder what cost really is?

They ( Amazon) are probably given copies from Smith micro for even less
The expected retail cycle for poser 8 has long since expired now that poser 9 is out.

They are not making money. The new version makes the old inventory obsolete so they're unloading it. Amazon buys thousands of copies from SM up front to get a big discount and sells them as they can. Usually they profit from this. But not when a new version comes out.
On the flip side, Amazon sold out of their initial consignment of PP2012 almost instantly and they had to double their order. I don't know the story after that, but I expect they ran out of those early, too.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

If those are legit licences, they can make the buyer eligible for an upgrade on the new version - really good deal.

Out of interest I checked Amazon UK- Poser 8 £153 but Poser 9 £149. Not exactly encouraging you to clear old stock.
PS £1 is around $1.50
Poser 11 , 180Gb in 8 Runtimes, PaintShop Pro 9
Windows 7 64 bit, Avast AV, Comodo Firewall
Intel Q9550 Quad Core cpu, 16Gb RAM, 250Gb + 250Gb +160Gb HD, GeForce GTX 1060

Supply and demand in the UK probably has almost nothing to do with the US.
In the US, Poser 8 is $30. Poser Debut (a crippled version of Poser 8 for beginners) is $39.99. Debut price dropped $10 since this thread was started.
Does that make any sense? Nope.

Hi $30 USD for poser 8 is a great bargain!!!
Its not relevant enough to me to upgrade from P6
but for many older P6-7 "holdouts" this is an opportunity that should be seriously considered while it lasts .
