eBay Watch: Windows XP Auction Gone Wrong

What's so special about this auction? Well, apparently the seller's computer "died" so he put his Win XP license key up for auction...without whiting out the actual key in the auction image -- meaning someone might already be using the key. Auction page.
This is an auction for one license key only. No software is included. It is "branded Toshiba" but will work on any system. You may need to call Microsoft's 800 number to activate

If you notice..the picture of the two keys are different and he said the key is for a toshiba..and in the picture the one key is for a HPQ and the other is for an emachine. The guy isn't that stupid. The keys in the picture probably aren't the keys he selling.

LOL, Chris, I'm laughing my butt off. "Hey, there's the product key so everybody can see. I think that we should bid on it Mildred." LOL. De de dee!
