Hi

I'm after buying a copy of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (single processor edition). Brand new is out of the question. eBay is looking like £895 / £995.

Is this a decent price for a second hand copy?

If not, any ideas what sort of price I should be looking at for 2nd hand copy Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (single processor edition), providing everything is above board and genuine.

Thanks.

Out of interest what are you wanting to use it for, are you sure you need standard?

Hi thanks for your reply. It's for a small business.

What I'm getting at is could you get away with the free express version - or do you need standard for its power? Express has a 10GB db limit and unless you need agent (scheduled jobs) support it's fine for most things.
