I'd like to purchase a used adobe illustrator Cs3 or Cs4. Is that even possible? I'm so confused about the pricing on all of it. If you CAN purchase it used, where do you find it?

...finally you have the full retail price install, which i imagine you will need...
...unless you happen to have an old version of macromedia freehand 9, 10 or MX, then it is actually possible to upgrade to CS4 with special up sell versions...
...a good place to start is using the google shopping search engine, you might be able to find a good price here:
