I got only one inquiry a couple of days after I posted this question looking for suggestions, and he ended up buying this after he verified it was a legit license. Then got two more in the last couple of days, so thought I would put something here, so everyone knew that it was no longer available. I never did hear one comment from anyone about any suggestions as to where something like this could be sold, so that question never did get resolved. The Professional version of Mathematica is indeed transferable (but am not sure about the student or academic) -- just read paragraph d of the Mathematica License Agreement's "Permitted Uses" section about how to transfer a license, and verify with Wolfram that the license is the proper "Use Class", and follow the steps. I suppose the difficult part is being able to verify that the license in question is a legit copy, and we were able to do it by having the buyer call the Wolfram sales person I bought it from and they verified it, so the buyer was satisfied and I didn't need to give out the license number before I received payment. Anyway, thanks to the moderator for trying to establish some kind of mechanism for people to ask for suggestions on what to do with a no- longer-used copy of Mathematica. -Bob
