Solve : Windows 7 Professional COA Key Sticker under $40.?

Answer» Moderator: This is NOT a commendation. It is a question.

If you buy a new Windows 7 Pro DVD with the COA, it can run well over $100 from retail outlets. ( COA means Certificate Of Authenticity.)

But on famous action people are selling the COA sticker for under $40.
The catch? You agree to buy a junk computer with the COA. If you do not pick up the computer and pay an addition fee for pickup, the PC is sent to the junk yard. So they say.

Is this legal? That is my question. Earlier I had bought a Windows 7 DVD with a COA only to find that MS would not authenticate the key. So I am very skeptical about this.

Only active seller says this:

Windows 7 activation: COA can activate any brand PC. But you need to have Windows 7 Professional. A single COA is only good for a single PC, if you use more than 1 PC with the same COA, both PC will be de-activated. We cannot recover for that. Please just use a single key on a single PC. Sometimes in order to activate another brand system you may need to CALL Microsoft activation center ***numbers deleted*** for Automatic Phone Activation.
I want to have windows 7, 8 or 10 on two of my newly rescued PCs
Sadly, the two KEYS I have are ALREADY tied to older junk desktops.
What I do not understand is how the guy can re-use a key from a junk PC
Or does he? What does he know that I don't?

If I were a rich man... I would not ask.
No, it is not legal. Yes they can SELL the COA with the original machine but it is not legal to install the copy onto any machine other than the original so it is virtually useless. Stay away.
