Macromedia Products

My Dad won a 90 day full trial of Macromedia Breeze. Unfortunately, he has no use for it whatsoever. It's a server based product and he wants a desktop product.

So....he's trying to work out a deal with Macromedia where he can "swap" the value of Breeze for other Macromedia products or sell the 90 trial in his own. The full year of Breeze is $19K so he wants to ask for $4K of Macro products or sell it for $2-3K. But they also seem to have a subscription service that's $375 a month, so maybe it's not worth as much as they're telling him.

I checked on Ebay and didn't see anyone selling it so it's hard to judge.

I know there's Dreamweaver, but can anyone recommend any other Macro products he could barter for? Or where he might sell whatever the hell he has?

Thanks

I'd look for Studio MX.

Studio includes Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Freehand and Flash. It retails for around a grand.

It's a nice package to have if you do web development or graphic design, and I would think a shrink wrapped copy would move for a few hundred bucks on ebay quite easily if he has no need for it.

Of the individual packages, Dreamweaver and Flash belong in every designer's library. Fireworks and Freehand versus their Adobe equivalents of Photoshop, ImageReady and Illustrator tends to be a religious preference. All are fine products, but Adobe has the lion's share of the market.
