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 store.  The catch is, Amazon doesn’t always have used copies for sale in their inventory.  As I write this, they currently have no used copies but do have a few new copies for sale at $415, which is an $85 discount over what you’d pay elsewhere.  All in all not bad, but patience is a virtue when it comes to Amazon.  I have seen used Rosetta Stone Spanish software packages (including all three levels) going for as low as $280 in the past.

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.
