I currently have four unopened and sealed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit OEM DVDs. These are all sealed OEM licenses from a system builders pack. I do realize that very few people are interested in 32bit but the keys are usable on a 64bit OEM disc. Below is a link to the same product on Newegg which is where they were purchased from.

I would like to get 7.5 BTC per copy. This price includes priority shipping to the US48. This is a ~41% discount off retail price of $139.99! I know not everyone here will need licensed copies of windows 7, but for those who do it's a great deal.

I will provide pictures of the product upon request. Please msg me here if you are interested.

I changed my offering to individual discs. Turns out most people don't need 3 copies of windows 7 :)

Exactly where did you get these?

I ask because OEM discs from the major manufactures must be used with those devices, so potentially you are selling very expensive coasters.

That would be recovery disks, which will only activate on manufacturers hardware. OEM disks however are produced by Microsoft, and come with a COA sticker and slightly different terms and conditions. Everything else is the same as retail.

the 32 bit part is a real buzzkill. you won't find many buyers who will sacrifice their > 4GB ram just to save some money.

I believe the serial will work with a 64-bit copy. Just download the trial from ms and use it to activate.

Yup

That is incorrect, OEM keys will only activate OEM media, not retail.

OEM keys are portable across bitness, so you can use a 32-bit key on a 64-bit media and vice versa. However the trial recommendation might not work. You can however find OEM media for download, just check to see that the hash matches the download from Technet and all will be well.

In response these are all sealed OEM licenses from a system builders pack. I will provide a link to the product so that you can see what it is. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116989. This is not a disc from an existing pc. Also mentioned was the use of the key on a 64bit install. This is completely possible but I unfortunately do not have any of the 64bit discs laying around. Let me know

Where they purchased from newegg?  I bought one of these off of ebay and they were 'super counterfeits'.   They looked to the untrained eye like real Microsoft including holograms (though not identical).  Microsoft allows them to activate then de-activates them months later as the keys are stolen VLA keys.

They were purchased from either newegg or amazon. My boss overbought and so i figured id try selling them here.

In at light I would say that people would probably be ok getting them, you have addressed my concerns.

bump. still have 7 copies left.

[citation needed] also, there's no such thing as a windows 7 "trial" from Microsoft.

All windows versions will work for 30 days x3 with the slmgr.vbs /rearm trick, which is plenty "trial" enough for me.

Here are direct genuine MS downloads for ISOs that should work:

Nice! Thanks for the info. I typically use my technet so have not had a reason to look at other sources but I'm sure this would be incredibly helpful for anyone who is interested in picking up a copy.

Indeed.... are these retail or VLK copies?  Also how did you get these links?

Google the exact URL with quotes, and you'll find any number of sites that have them linked all over the place. DigitalRiver is MS's online sales partner, so the links are there for customers who purchase keys from them. I usually use Technet too, but these work. I think they are retail, but my OEM keys seem to work on them. I'm not even sure that the ISOs for Retail vs. OEM are even different, although I haven't checked the hashes.

For XP, MS even offers a product key update tool that switches licensing between Retail/OEM/VLK and vice-versa, so I wouldn't be surprised if 7 just works with anything.

Thanks everyone for the info. I just hope I can get some of these copies sold. :) I also have a copy of Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard w/ 5 CAL OEM that is shrinkwrapped and sealed. I was thinking 20 BTC for this. If there is any traction for this product Ill make a separate listing.

most likely warez sites.
