For Sale: Windows XP Pro

BlueFusion · Sep 26, 2007

I have 10 totally unused Windows XP Pro keys for sale.
Never used. Reason I have them is my school buys computers with keys on them, and uses their site copy of windows instead. So I asked IT department and they said go for it.

Nobody freak out this is legal. I wouldn't risk my rep here.

So totally unused, fresh, not pirated or hacked or anything. All you need is a CD. I can upload a disc image if you really need it but you can probably borrow one. Any XP Pro disk will work.
I know everyone's moving into vista but XP is way more stable and cheap.

KK price. $20 AUD or $20 USD. Sorry US its more expensive but there are fees for currency conversion.
And $20 isnt bad for good copy of Windows.
Pay with paypal and you owe me $1 extra to cover fees. Sorry there is no alternative at the moment.
Digital delivery i.e. I email you.
Paypal me simce google checkout isnt working for me. Remember to include your forum name somewhere.
Paypal cgeeky@gmail.gom

And mods, I figure this qualifies for the forum sale section because im gonna buy lasers with the money.

Do I get the sticker? Or just the code?
Can you use the sticker again, or has it just been peeled off?

Also, is it SP2, as different versions have different prod keys.

Cheers,

Dan

No objections here Bill gates is too rich anyway LOL!! So is Steve from Wicked lasers ;D

Just the key. SP2. Microshaft make the sticker ' impossible ' to remove, but I can guarantee they can't be used again after you have them.
Hope this answers your questions.

Some heat on the oppisite side of the case will release the stickers.

...

I don't think IT would like me going around to their computers with a hot air gun and removing the case...
But I will keep that in mind. Thanks.

bumpity bump

I'm tempted to buy 2, but the way I see it is that I'm paying $20 for something you got for free, and I don't even get the sticker! Not to mention, that some randomer could just write down the key and use that anyway!

Is there no way could ship me the COA? If not, what about a price discount?

Cheers,

Dan

Yeah, or at least a video showing the original key label being destroyed/rendered useless.

On the other hand, for me, the only difference between such a key and some random internet stolen key is that my conscience knows it is legal. All the things using WGA are anyways not interesting to me.

But still, the sticker would be nice. Or at least a photo of before/after, to show that people won't just come and read the key off that label.

BlueFusion · Sep 27, 2007

The labels are ripped and torn. I ripped each one after copying them.
Even if it did get used afterwards, the other person would simply be told it was a used key.

If somehow someone else has used the key you get, i.e. it doesn't work, and you and me can't make it work, I will give you another one free.

And you're paying $20 for something that cost me 3 years of sucking up to my IT department.

danielbriggs · Sep 27, 2007

Like Phil said, show us a photo of them ALL destroyed - and you've made a sale from me!
Maybe 2 if I can get the money for the other PC.

Are they plastic or paper sticks, (just out of interest)

BlueFusion · Sep 27, 2007

paper stickers. I can't take a photo myself, as I'm not able to go to school at the mo. Burnt foot. anyway I have asked one of my friends to take some pix.
And its a room fulla computers, separately spaced, so you can either see a photo of all the computers or of the stickers destroyed.
But photos r coming.

danielbriggs · Sep 27, 2007

I hope you didn't burn your foot with a laser

Hello, I hate to bust your bubble here, but what you and the school IT department are doing is Illegal, regardless of whether they bought a Site License and are using that instead. The whole reason the label is glued to the PC is because you can't sell/transfer it, the ONLY option you have in regards to those licenses, legally speaking; would be to sell the whole PC with the license. Otherwise it is no different for you and the buyer, as if you used a key generator. I'm very surprised your IT department doesn't already know this, is anybody in that IT department licensed by MS, they should surely know better than that. Call your local MS Rep and you'll see both you, the school & the buyer all would be in the wrong, and while MS most likely won't go after the buyers (keys would still be considered Illegal) the school would be a different matter. I highly recommend you don't proceed with this without guidance from a MS Rep, in ether case I wish you the best of luck. Buyer beware, your wasting your money; it's not legal, sorry.

o pfft.

i smell a microsoft registration here... can some mod check and trace the ip please.
if your just a normal person... which i doubt...
i really couldn't care less what microsoft thinks. All I know is the keys are not needed and are unused so I'm trying to make use of them.
I am surprised MS gives no option to bulk buyers to have no copy of windows included when it will not ever be used. Oh, thats right, billy gates wants to be just a little richer. DUH

and no, i burnt my foot with hot water.

electron · Sep 28, 2007

Sorry NO I'm not MS, I'm just pointing out that "buying" those keys from you is not legal. I could care less if someone does, However it serves no purpose for someone to do so; because MS treats it no differently than if they used a key generator. So why would someone want to give you money for something they could easily generate themselves?
No difference, the purpose of buying a key/license would be for it to be legal. Anybody can d/l a copy of XP & generate a key themselfs w/o paying for it, that's all I'm saying. Have fun, it's not my $$$ or "product"; I was just pointing out the reality of it.
