Vista Ultimate

Robert2009

I now have Windows 7, not an upgrade but the full version. so I no longer use or need Windows Vista Ultimate.

Will Ebay let me sell Windows Vista Ultimate since it is a retail version or will they pull it like when I tried to sell Windows XP?

And will anyone want to buy it as Windows 7 is a lot better than Vista?

I guess people who've had enough of XP but can't afford or don't like the look of Windows 7 would go for it. Not sure where you'd stand with eBay on selling it though, sorry.

If you sell an OEM piece of software you have to sell some hardware with it. To adhere to this policy most sellers sell some memory of circuit boards with it. Policy is HERE

Actually just reread your post (sorry) as its the retail you should be able to. I'm not up on windows software (I'm a Mac or Linux person myself) so I would check that its Ok to re register the Key. Ask on the Tech forum i'm sure some windows guys will be able to tell you

Not sure why anyone would buy Vista but you never know. Being a retail pack you can have a go but someone might report it to ebay who could just pull the listing without checking it was retail not oem. Ebay can be a lottery.

If it is new, sealed and unregistered, then show a photograph of the authenticity portal in the COA - it is the little hole in the sticker at the top. The edges of the hole should be feathered and not clean cut.

I bought a few dozen units ex-bankrupt stock earlier this year, and had no problems with selling them by showing in the photos that they were authentic.

It is not new, I had it on my computer for over a year but I have now installed Windows 7 and no longer need it.

It is Vista Ultimate with 2 DVDs, 32 bit and 64 bit versions. It was installed and activated but I formated the hard drive it was on before installing Windows 7

I would have to sign up for Ebay as I used to use my daughter's boyfriend's account but they have split up and I can't use his account anymore. He even changed his password :eek:
I will just use the DVDs for bird scarers:D
