Just like the title reads, I paid $285 for the Publishing suite software and it is not what I need at all. I need the forum classic. Here is what we can do, if you have a forum classic license and would like to trade please let me know, if you help me add the custom CSS to make it seamless with the website that I am trying to add it to, you can keep the Publishing suite at no extra charge at all, the licence is genuine and can provide proof. Thanks!
Is it version 3 or 4 that you want? I have a version 3 owned licence but not 4, I can help with the CSS no problem, let me know.
Be careful before considering to trade your License. Read you original post and check what you're implying.
if you do not want suite products just don't install them or disable them. I guess there is no difference with skin/themes with either of them.
