Where can I get hold of Leopard cheap?

I'm fixing up an old G4 for my dad and would like to upgrade it from Tiger to Leopard. Anyone got any ideas where I can get a copy cheap? The Tiger upgrade disc would do. It's like £50-70 on eBay at least and I'd rather spend less than that...

That is what they go for really!

You might be able to find it for sale new somewhere but that's really the only way [legally].

I have a copy of Snow Leopard on DVD that I don't use, might ebay it if they are going for that!

Nah, Snow Leopard barely goes for anything given it only cost £30 new and is still available at that price.

Then buy it for 30 if it's that cheap lol

I need leopard, not snow leopard, and the price difference is enough to be a pain in the arse.

Leopard was the last dual binary OS Apple released, it contains sources for PPC and Intel. Which is why it seems to sell for silly money.

It's like paying £100 for Windows 98, daft. The mind boggles...
