    Hey. I went to best buy to get the upgrade from 2000 to XP, but I accidentally bought the Windows 2000 home to Windows XP Home. I forgot that I had windows 2000 pro, so the upgrade from 2000 pro to XP home didn't work and I needed to buy the XP Pro upgrade.

    Now I have this open but unused XP home upgrade. I have no use for this, but since I opened it, I can't return it. Does anyone want to buy it? It cost about $100 from best buy, and I'll sell it for $40 or something. Just offer if you're interested.

    Thanks

    Edit: Preferred payment method = Paypal

    Price can be lowered, I'll take any offers.

    Is this the right forum to be trying to sell this?

    This isn't a for sale forum. Try eBay. Good luck trying to sell an upgrade disk - maybe if you have no reserve and start the bidding at $0.01 you may get some bidders. Make it no longer than a three day auction.

    I don't understand why you need to sell it. Unless you need XP Pro, the disc you got should work just fine to go from 2000 to XP.
