There are some good OEM deals to be had--it is a big "gray market" out there regarding software. Fairly recently I lost money on one, not because the software didn't work or was bogus, but because the seller himself was evidently bogus and eBay shut him down right after I sent the money order. They didn't do a very good job of filtering out a bad apple (seems the account was set up in one name but money went to another, and they must have finally caught on). If I buy OEM any more it will have to be with someone with a huge track record, who takes PayPal or credit cards, and where there is more of a backup. You regularly find vendors who won't use PayPal (it's a pain in the ass--I can understand why) but this one, in hind-sight, was skating on the edge of credibility. It looked like I was purchasing from someone who was breaking out on his own after dealing with a partner--it happens, but it won't happen to me again. It wasn't a remarkably high or low price--the guy was clever, keep it in the market range and wait to hook a buyer.
