    3. Hi Carmel, > Why not ask how they come to keep selling the same item. I did and there was no response to that question. I certainly wouldn't pay more than about half price for them. Ever the cynic, I did wonder if they had someone in another country buying for them and sending the cds to Oz for resale on ebay. To make a legitimate claim that they are used you would, basically, only have to unwap them and put them in the computer once!! Actually I was under the strong impression that the LDS used to sell these cds and was sure I had seen them for sale on their website earlier last year at $30 US, but having checked recently the only thing for sale now is the Australian Vital Records Index at $9 US. My sister in law in NZ was going to buy them for me as a present because we're not lucky enough to be able to buy from Oz. Hi Tom, >Are they the same CDs, or different ones to >the earlier ones, there are 6 CDs making up the >total set. > > As far as I can see they are the originals but used copies. But now you've asked the question, is there more than one version of these cds? There are photographs of the cd covers and they certainly look legit. The ads say that the minimum operating system required is 98 or higher, but as the cds were produced a while ago I did wonder if they would work on Windows XP and that's maybe why they were being sold. I also asked one seller why they were selling their cds as I can't imagine any genie wanting to sell them. The reply was that they had finished completely with genealogy and were selling the lot!!! True possibly but I can't imagine that happening to myself! Hi John, >I have asked the seller, if these CD's work on Digger. They are used, as >described on ebay > . >I await their reply > > Perhaps you could let me know. Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. Will let you know if I ever buy one and it turns out to be legit. Regards, Jan.
