Where? Its 145 from Microsoft. I doubt many actual legitimate keys can be got for much cheaper than 100.

Pffffft. Change out of a fiver.

I bought one on eBay for 3 pound I wouldn't validate. There's a guy on adverts with them for 7 euro and it worked fine.

The one I linked is fine. He sell them by the bucketload. Immediate email of activation key. I’m sure the adverts seller is fine too.

They're usually corporate keys or OEM refurb keys. And it's not piracy.

You buy levis for 20 quid out of a boot, genuine Levi's. But the point of sale is the issue.

I've never bought one. But they are mainly leftover keys bought by colleges or corporations in bulk that would go to waste otherwise. Nothing shady about it.

And there's been Windows keys available at this price en masse on Ebay since at least Windows 7 came out in 2009 (possibly earlier too, can't remember), so it's not just "these days" it's been happening as you said grandpa. :pac:

It's more likely to have been acquired with a stolen credit card.

You are making a lot of claims. Do you have any proof that the seller below has 'acquired' these licenses with a stolen credit card?

You... You think someone who stole a credit card's best method for making profit is to buy hundreds of Windows keys and sell them for next to nothing, rather than simply buying electronic goods (or even video game codes) and selling them at near RRP? Is this a serious comment?

Makes sense actually. Don't need to employ people to ship physical things around.

But all these windows keys are MSDN subscriber keys so yes they are pirated. Companies with volume licensing agreements don't have spreadsheets full of Codes that they're assigned by Microsoft which some office drone can steal and companies certainly aren't reselling them.

But you don't need to do that either if you sell video game codes at a much higher price. If you think the best method of making profit from a stolen credit card while staying undetected is to buy hundreds of Windows keys then I don't know what to tell you.

And they're not all MSDN keys. Many of them are OA keys, Partner Program keys or OEM refurb keys, and they're not necessarily pirated. It's a grey area rather than piracy.

Now that we’re all well versed in authentic W10 activation keys and such......

Anyone else grab a nicely specked Lenovo recently ?:cool:

I managed to get a copy of Office Professional Plus 2019 for around a fiver. Works perfect, no trouble redeeming the code.

Ebay is used a lot for reselling things bought through stolen credit cards. It's a bit naive to think you are purchasing something legit, for less than 5% of its price. Why is the burden of proof on me?

Because you're suggesting that an Ebay seller who has been selling thousands of Windows 10 keys for about five years has been doing so with a stolen credit card. It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

And obviously the burden is on you if you are suggesting something is illegal, otherwise you wouldn't be able to sell anything on Ebay.

Seen a poster on the laptop forum say they specced one on Lenovo site for pretty much the same price as the offer.

Doff

How long does it take to get the keys delivered once you buy them? Ideally I would like to use them instantly, wouldn't want to get arrested for handling stolen goods or anything.

The keys should be sent to you within a few minutes of purchase. Lol no one is coming to arrest you for buying a software key from eBay.
