Hi, looking to buy Nikon Capture NX2.

It costs £102 on amazon.

I had a look on ebay and found this site.

http://www.softsalez.net/

It is selling it for £12

Too good to be true?

What do you think?

Jim

...I would suggest that they're selling pirate copies.

Maybe they're selling OEM licenses? Which I believe isn't allowed.

AVOID - AVOID - AVOID

This is the guy that set it up:

"Vladimirs Gekovs"
4 Melwood Grove
Hull
East Yorkshire
HU5 1AY


He's had other similar sites - that no longer exist.

He also calls himself "Gekman"

Looks like it is a lot of foreign licence stuff - ie stuff for use in other countries.

He's trying to shift this stuff via e-bay too.

I say we go round and chin him and steal his money - and nick any food in his house.

Thanks guys, I emailed him and all he said was "Yes, Ive sold a fair few of these. It works fine."

I think I'll give him a miss!

Thanks
Jim

Depends where you live.

I would avoid myself, doesnt look right. Plus with an OEM you might find you are cut off support wise or something wierd.

Even the URL implies warez.
