Where To Buy Used Rosetta Stone Spanish Software
If you’ve read my full Rosetta Stone Spanish review, you know I highly recommend it as one of the best Spanish learning programs around. There’s only one problem: the full program costs upwards of $500. Ignoring the fact that you’d probably spend at least that much or more on a series of inferior products spread out over several months or years, $500 is a lot of money, especially to pony up all at once.
Buy Used Rosetta Stone Spanish Online
The most obvious way around this initial cost hurdle, of course, is to search online for use Rosetta Stone Spanish software. Unfortunately, my efforts in this direction yielded mixed results. Probably the best and easiest place to buy used Rosetta Stone Spanish software is from the same place you’d buy it new: the Amazon
Another option is trying your luck at eBay. I’m actually not a huge fan of eBay in general because it’s relatively easy to think you’re buying one thing but really end up getting another. For something as expensive as Rosetta Stone, I would personally be more comfortable sticking with a reputable retailer like Amazon. That said, you are much more likely to find a dirt-cheap deal on eBay than Amazon, but it’s buyer beware. A recent search of eBay didn’t turn up any screaming bargains but again, patience is likely to be a virtue.

Just wondering if there is any snares in buying used? What happens when the original owner registered it in their name?
I’ve heard Rosetta Stone will refuse to support you if you bought it used. I have no concrete evidence of that, but it sounds like a reasonable assumption.
But I don’t think the software will stop working if somebody else registered it, if that’s what you’re wondering. I don’t recall an in-depth online registration process but it was so long ago when I installed it.
I ordered the Rosetta Stone Spanish 3 (LA) set 1,2,3 from a site I found on the internet. It looked legitimate and the person in customer service that I dealt with seemed knowledgable. However, when my daughter opened the set on Christmas morning and tried to load it, it asked for the access code. There wasn’t one included in the set. Turns out, I bought a pirated set and the website was fake. I tried unsuccessfully to email the service dept. of the company I bought it from. It was all fake. So, I lost alot of money and my daughter ended up with no Christmas gift. So, if you buy used or “discounted” sets, BE CAREFUL. There are alot of dishonest people waiting to prey on people like me who have limited income. I wish I could’ve pressed charges against the people who did this to me.
I actually tried to sell a completely legitimate used Rosetta Stone on eBay. The auction was pulled and my account was warned. When I inquired further, they said that Rosetta Stone does not allow transferring used products from one person to another. Basically once you buy a copy it is solely yours whether you end up liking it or not. I’d be extremely wary of any used copies you find on the internet.
to the lady who got scammed i would contact bank used to purchase product, and file complaint
I bought a discounted rosetta stone also and the activation codes don’t work. It let me do two lessons and then it wants the codes. Turns out it was a priated copy and I have lost my money. I wonder if you could use the activation codes from another set? If so would anyone want to share those codes with me?
