I looked at G2A.com, it looks shady to me and I don't trust it. Why do I need to livechat and screen-share? I need another option where to buy a legit copy of Windows 8.1 for cheap.

$100 is kinda ridiculous. I guess I may have to though.

The g2A thing is legit, many forum members bought keys there. The screen sharing is to make sure your key works, and if it doesn't they'll give you a refund but you can opt out and buy without g2a shield at your own risk.

Sheild? That means without shield they'll just take your money and give you the key right? That I'd be completely fine with.

Is the reddit thing really legit?

they don't reclaim the key after a while or anything?

Was thinking of buying from either of these guys:

 

1. 12o04

2. s5ean

I would just get Linux. Choose a nice distro and go with it.

I bought a Windows 7 key from s5ean on reddit a few weeks ago,, they activated just fine,, they come up as genuine on my system. I am very happy, and it was only €15 / $15 through PayPal.
