Hmm, why so cheap on ebay ?

Tork64 · Oct 24, 2009, 11:17 PM

I dont personally need a copy since I already have it, but what is up with this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280406805708 ? Why so cheap ? and look at the number of "sold". Is this legit or ?

looks like a photoshopped win xp logo

they'll probably give you win xp with the windows 7 transformation package installed

Looks like a scam to me. Probably from a keygen, hence you don't get media. Microsoft doesn't sell license keys alone, they come on a COA with media or with hardware.

This guy made over 5k from it and ebay restricts me from selling brand name goods that I have around the house, hilarious.

Auric · Oct 25, 2009, 07:46 PM

So eBay must have made about 1k. Partners in crime.

Tork64 · Oct 25, 2009, 07:47 PM

lol...
EDIT: this is from another seller, there are many of them on there.

KickAssCop · Oct 25, 2009, 08:53 PM

I am about to purchase the key. Tell me if its legit or not. How the **** can so many great users bid on it and get the right keys?

Wtf? Keygen wouldn't let you authenticate AFAIK.

When I see his feedback its 100% positive...

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...=off&items=200

Item is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280406805708

Now it's showing zero items... wtf

theevilsharpie · Oct 25, 2009, 09:30 PM

If you think that you can get a legit key for less than $20, you're kidding yourself.

ROFLMAO!!! What a funny morning read. Thank you for getting my day off to a laughing start.

Don't buy Ebay keys. NEVER buy Ebay CD Keys. This is a rule of common sense.

I think the ebay seller that KickAssCop linked to is legit.

140 positive feedbacks, all relating to windows 7 keys. I don't think 140 random people would lie about the success rate.

I guess the only thing you have to worry about is the seller trying to resell your personal key to another individual at a later date.

moshpit · Oct 29, 2009, 01:52 PM

Well, that's not the ONLY thing you have to worry about. MS blocking the key range set these keys are coming from would be more of my concern on this one. It's almost for sure this dude is selling off bits and pieces of a larger corporate license. I would expect that license to not have a long life expectancy.
