I was browsing the local store today checking prices for a small note book and while I was there I checked out what soft wear they had and there it was Corel draw, and the price was,,,, wait for it
$429-00 is that a good price or a rip off?

The biggest variance will be between 'versions'!
Current off the shelf versions will be a lot more than past versions.
Current version of Corel X5 full version is available here in the states for $499.99 USD.
Older versions are available starting at $69.99 USD.

I am using CorelDRAW X5 now. I am using what is considered the educational version. You can purchase it directly from Corel for $99. The difference between that and the regular X5 is that you can't use it for commercial purposes and you cannot upgrade to the next release in about 2 or 3 years. This version has some really great features in it. None of the features have been limited or restricted from the regular X5. I spoke directly to a Corel person in Canada about that. I was a member of the beta test team early on.
