I was googling to try to find out when Logos Series X shipped, and I was surprised to find websites still selling it new!

This was my first Logos purchase! It may be a way to get PNTC and NIV84 [;)]
It may also be challenging to get it into the new Logos ecosphere.
That's for sure. I don't even want to think of post-cc steps.
Not hijacking, but I had to see if a New Jerome Commentary (Libby) was out there; probably impossible now, to bring in. But this site was interesting ... how many 'dream' resources eventually came in, Liturgical Press new involvement, and that New Jerome never made it:

Years ago (when Libronix was still around), I reported a couple of websites that had the “Unlock Codes” for Libronix (it was easy to do that if you knew how to do it). The sad part many “Pastors” were saying what a blessing it was that someone had shared the codes to have access to tools and books in the software. Apparently, most of them needed a course in “Ethics.” Anyway, I wish the old William Barclay commentaries on the NT were still available and for the Wycliff OT and NT commentaries to be combined into one single volume commentary and be included in base packages again.

PS. Prices are in Euros 💶 so it may not be legit.
I'm not sure those actually will ship anything - probably some sites were created and then left to themselves.
Hmmm.... the first site lists Logos Series X Original Language Library. That set includes BAGD. Perhaps a way to get BAGD unlocked for those of us who cannot purchase a license from Logos (only have BDAG). Would buying that allow someone to have Logos unlock BAGD for them?

I'm not saying it's a scam... but it could be a scam.

Logos Series X Original Languages Library was my very first actual Logos package. I had Anchor Bible Dictionary and the bottom level of Nelson eBible before that, but OLL was my first actual Logos library. The box for it was printed as having BAGD, but by the time I got it, it had been removed and there was a sticker on the box over where it was listed... Anyway, I just missed it, and that was Series X, version 2.0, and version RA of the Original Language Library...
Who knows - you might be lucky. But I would not expect to be...
If the site were legit don't you think they would offer dynamic pricing?
Not when they have no access to your current license information or when they are selling disks, I would think.
I'm guessing it's more likely this:
Whether it will actually take your money and then not ship you anything remains to be tested, but I'm not going to test it to find out. I just thought Faithlife ought to know about it, so they could go after these folks doing something they shouldn't be allowed to do. I know there were 3rd party resellers of the boxed products before, but whenever Logos (the name of the company back then) released a new version, surely they would have recalled any extant product out there so as not to confuse users about what was current. In this case, if the company does sell someone an old boxed Logos package they still happen to have lying around, it won't likely work with the current Logos ecosystem, so it's in Faithlife's interest to get these off the market.
I'm not saying it's a scam... but it could be a scam. If the site were legit don't you think they would offer dynamic pricing? The whole thing reeks of corruption.
They aren't Faithlife; they can't offer dynamic pricing. They can't even give you the correct price for an "Upgrade Direct from Logos" (that $407 figure in the second offer was last edited around Oct 10, 2006; according to archive.org).
I'm guessing it isn't corruption but merely a couple of websites that were left to gather dust. Hanlon's Razor applies here. "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence." (or stupidity or laziness)
