Nice. I found an Office 2007 Standard Edition a couple of months ago for $2 at a thrift store. My daughter needed it so I installed it on her computer. I probably should have listed it being as I'm still employed by the Gov't and get deep discounts on MS products.

I used to work at an auction house and when we unloaded peoples items to be auctioned off if the owners recognized boxes of items that we've already auctioned off the week before (sometimes 2) they would hand it back to them and tell them they couldn't sell it... Auction houses need to have different items every week or the party's over. Something to think about before bringing in too many returns + you may get charged a lot fee which cancels out any real profit. Since you made your money back already, why not bring the remaining items to your favorite small thrift store (someone other than Goodwill, Salvation Army, Savers)... I generally bring all of my donations to the little church thrift store 2 blocks from me. I like to help them out when I can
