    The version of Snap Scheduler I see for sale (OEM) is 3.0, while the current version for retail is 3.5 (at $450). OEM usually sells for significantly less once newer versions are out, and I can get very good deals from reputable companies on OEM versions. You should use due diligence to check out the companies selling it, but it looks like it might very well be legit. 3.0 vs 3.5 is usually a large jump in product, so your buying an older version, maybe from a half a year to a year or more out. That is why it is cheaper. Companies buy out outdated software for pennies on the dollar, and resell... legally, at a higher price, yet significantly lower than the newest version. Too bad your thread was closed so fast without any fact checking done. This does not mean that whatever company you saw wasn't a scam, but I found several that seem very legit from feedback and reviews selling that version at the same price, a couple were even noting that the price drop was from 89.95. Last year I was able to get some OEM win xp pro versions at an incredible price from a national reseller. A huge brick and mortar store. Problem is, when they run out, they are gone. And further checking showed that it did sell for $450, in 2008. That is why it is so cheap, it is a 2 year old version of the software.
