Windows 7 for the cheap on eBay?

I really hate spending the $100 for buying and installing a fresh OS on a new build. So I decided to look online and find alternatives that would cost less. This listing on eBay has Windows 7 listed at $52.99 and has over 3,000 sold. I am guessing the reason why it's so cheap is that the seller bought mass quantities in bulk. My question is, should I buy it or spend the full price for 100% legit copy from the Microsoft store?

You don't want to install a 32-bit version of windows. Try looking on g2a.com to see if there is a cheaper option available.

Buy the full version. Most of the cheap keys are not for resale. If MS catches people selling them, they will revoke the key.

 

 

32 bit.

A key is for both 32 and 64-bit...

Personally, I don't like buying an OS off of ebay....

I don't know, just seems off to me.

Just my opinion.
