Virtual Instruments - bargains ?


I am wondering if there is a place where people offer the Virtual Instruments they no longer want for sale?
I looked at Ebay and KVR forum. Anywhere else?

I am looking at EastWest symphonic instrument for example.
Or would people *swap* instruments? If someone had, for example, MOTU Ethno, would it be possible to swap that for something EastWest?
I wonder if the manufacturer would object to this?

Any comments?

    Only a handful of developers allow license transfers--I'd check with each developer before buying or selling a soft synth.

    As far as reselling places, yeah, KVR is a good place.

    I do know it is illegal to resell Eastwest libraries. And to make it more difficult, their libraries use the iLok USB key for licenses.

    Thanks. I suppose to "swap" would be interpreted as "reselling" by Eastwest ?

    Is it? It didn't used to be. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I sold an Eastwest product (Hardcore bass maybe) and Eastwest did the authorization switch. I know it was done on the up and up.

    Here's what MOTU said:

    You may sell or trade your copy of Ethno at your discretion. However, if you wish to transfer your registration to a new owner you will need to contact Customer Service.

    So, looks like I can. Now I've got to find someone who has EastWest they want to trade.
    Thats *if* EastWest allow the same thing.

    I ran across this site today. Good sounding stuff and dirt cheap for that amount of quality.

    East/West definitely doesn't allow it:
