While inside the Terracota Warrior park, I saw a man throw what I thought was some sort of Microsoft Office product in the trash. I quickly and stealthily retrieved it. Indeed, it was Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007. What good fortune for me!
If you zoom in on the picture, you will notice the bottom right hand of the picture says 1 CD 18元. The exchange rate right now is just under $1 for 6.5元, so this means that the software had a retail value of just under $3. Not bad! The suggested retail for this software is $499.95, which puts the discount at 99.4% off! What a bargain. I mean, everyone knows that you should never pay the suggested retail price, but who knew you could get such discounts? Currently, amazon.com and buy.com sell Microsoft Office Professional 2007 for $366 and $340, respectively. Everyone knows it's a rip off to pay that much money for some silly software, but now things are really put into perspective. Shop China!! At prices like this I might stop getting my software out of the trash and actually buy it myself.
The company selling this software is really considerate, too. Near the bottom of the picture above is some blue print in a yellow box. It's a warning that cautions against using any sort of game or software that is similarly packaged, because it might be pirated and cause harm to your computer. Whew, thanks for the tip! I definitely don't want some pirated game to cause my computer to crash while I type my book reports on my new Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007.
