POST HERE : Windows Vista Prices & Locations
Figured due to the variances in prices from what i've seen so far, i thought it may be wise to collect information on the prices/retail/oem/locations/links for Vista and all the difference verisons.

If you can, post a link as well as the information, if the location/retailer doesn't have a website, post the information.


Currently at my shop, in stock, i've the following with the price listings:

THESE ARE NOT RETAIL, these are OEM packages, THEY ARE NOT Upgrades either.

$150 CAD ~ Vista Home 32bit OEM
$200 CAD ~ Vista Home Premium 32bit OEM
$250 CAD ~ Vista Business 32bit OEM
$325 CAD ~ Vista Ultimate 32bit OEM

Sorry i don't ship currently. But that gives a rough estimate of what it's costing for just the oem packages around here.

Retail wise Futureshop is the most closest and most reliable to have in stock these RETAIL packages (and upgrades)

(link: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/sub...9F&catid=10657 )

$259.99 CAD ~ Vista Home
$299.99 CAD ~ Vista Home Premium
$379.99 CAD ~ Vista Business
$499.99 CAD ~ Vista Ultimate

UPGRADE VERSIONS:

$118.97 CAD ~ Vista Home Upgrade
$168.99 CAD ~ Vista Home Premium Upgrade
$249.99 CAD ~ Vista Business Upgrade
$299.99 CAD ~ Vista Ultimate Upgrade

Retail Ultimate and Enterprise includes both 32sbit and 64sbit in the package.

The other ones include only a 32sbit version, but a 64-bit version can be obtained from MS for shipping fees after purchase.

That's just his though, I'm also in Canada, and got mine with free shipping for the equivalent of about £115.

those are my prices, in the area in which i live.... that covers the costs for taxes/shipping and other expensive in just getting the product on my own shelves, + a realitivly small price jump so that at least a small profit is made for the work put into getting the product here and for sale in the first place. It's business mechanics plain and simple, and there isn't anything i can do about it unfortuneatly.

325 Canadian dollars = 140.393318 British pounds

£140 is what i'm selling vista ultimate oem for..... that's just slightly higher then what you paid for yours tasty.

Still about $100 CAD/£40 more than I paid for mine though, assuming those are your before tax prices.

Yes before tax....

but my profit margin on them are quite minimal. It really sucks i can't in any way compete with online stuff, but it would be stupid to try.

I'd have to buy 10,000 copies of each to give a comparible price on them.
