Hello all,
I'm a bit new here but I have a quick question. I'm purchasing Parallels 3.0 and I've searched all over the web. Of course http://parallels.com has the software but i found another site that seems to be giving an immediate discount:
http://softwaretiger.com/Parallels-Desktop-3.0-Mac/
which isn't what you find on Amazon or other sites that make you send stuff in to get the discount.

Are these reseller sites legit? I buy stuff online all the time but I don't want to get scammed. I'm mainly asking because I don't see how they're offering the discount.

Thanks!

That website does seem legit. There usually are retail sellers offering software at discounts (for example Amazon), so it is often good practise to hunt around a bit before purchasing.

Hey thanks for the tip!
I guess I shouldn't be worried about it, I checked around and saw other sites selling with a smaller discount, I suppose they just decide what to charge and take a cut.

Thanks again!
