Thanks for the tip. Seems that they have gone up to $189.95. I'll check
around some used stuff sites to see if I can turn up something. I was
expecting the price to drop after being discontinued, not shoot up.

Hello Shaun, Chris, Scott, and Others,
This is an answer to a request of where to find copies of Leopard
install disks at less outrageous prices. Try FastMac for new retail
copies of the Leopard Disc for $179.95. This price seems high in
comparison with the original $130 charge from Apple, but at least it
is less than the over $200 prices that seem typical right now. The Low
End Mac site ran an article about the Best OS X 10.5 Leopard prices
back in December, and gave links to sources. Many of the low prices
seem to either have disappeared from availability or jumped up to over
$200. The FastMac link still works for the $179.95 price, and you can
put the product into your shopping cart. This seemed to be the best of
the current prices. (I didn't try to make a purchase!) Here's the
link to the Low End Mac article:

Cheers,

You can't be serious. You mean copies of Leopard are selling for
more than $100? Tell me that just can't be true.

I've been hunting for the same thing for an old g4 tower I wanted to
update. Seems like all the discount places that had it are now
gouging the prices or are out of stock. What used to be about $130
is now $200 or more. Please post if you find a source that is
reasonable.

The only way for you to get one that I can think of is to buy the
pack of software that Apple were selling at the time of Snow
Leopard's release, which included Leopard. I think the cost is 129
USD. You could also try your local Apple store to see if they have
any old copies or Apple themselves.
