I have to agree with Joe, although for slightly different reasons.

You won the software
You own it
Do with it as You please

Those suggestions that you do the right thing (which is, of course, different for everybody), strike me as a little suspicious and self-serving.

Shoot, if you can get full price, go for it!

>Not For Re-sale software is supplied to organizations/individuals that will help market the product; re-sellers, user groups, consultants, etc. MS is not doing the user group a favour by giving/selling cheaply a NFR (at least that is not their motive). They are trying to drum up sales.

>>Actually, if you didn't want the car you wouldn't accept it. In the US, prizes are considered taxable, so the more valuable the prize, the higher the taxes. However, I think that winning the software then selling it is rather tacky. When Microsoft sends software to user groups, it is clearly marked "Not for resale". That was the intent of giveaways at DevCon, even if not labeled.
