MICROSOFT or Big Mac?

Item Found:  Microsoft Money 2004 Software
Price Paid: $5
Projected Value: $25

Profit =  $20






Item has been found at a Thrift Store!

Information about item: Perhaps not the most interesting item, but the item will still yield a profit. Microsoft is known for it's operating system and it's software, most notably Windows program. Here we have a Money management tool, year 2004. This is the deluxe version, therefore worth more over the regular version. Any type of software, whether it is made by Microsoft (easy to sell) or Mac (also easy to sell) it's always a good re-seller. Original software is great, and if you have the original box and Manuel, you will certainly get more value for the item. This is actually the general rule in anything. The more an item is complete, the higher the re-sell value. I guess you have to be a hoarder and save every item a box comes in! Unfortunately I have been doing this since an early age. As for computer software, this one is quickly becoming out-dated, therefore it does not hold high value, but if you manage to find modern software from the last few years, it should surely fetch good money. I have sold numerous items, and personally Microsoft items are the easiest to come by, and quickly sell. Mac stuff is great when you can find it. In the past I did manage to find a MAC OS software, practically new which sold for $150. As for this one $20 profit will cover gas for a few miles.
