So yesterday afternoon I was walking across campus when I noticed one of those gameshow-style cash grab cubes with floating money inside. As I got closer, I realized that the money was fake. It was part of a booth sponsored by Microsoft to promote some of their new products.
A man was hosting the event and invited me to try my luck with the cash grabber. I would be given fifteen seconds to grab as many bills as I could hang on to. Of the few hundred inside, around fifty were marked with green stickers, twenty with yellow, and one with pink. After trying, I was somehow lucky enough to end up with the pink-stickered bill.
As a result, I won the grand prize: a brand new/sealed copy of Office Ultimate 2007, which is $679.99 on bestbuy.com.
I don't have any particular need for the software since I'm pretty comfortable with Office 2003, but I definitely appreciate the opportunity to sell it. While I doubt I'll get anywhere near that full retail price, even a couple hundred from an eBay sale would be pretty outstanding since it would entirely be profit.
It's nice to finally benefit from one of these campus events!

But you could still sell it for a decent amount.
