Where do you purchase genuine Microsoft products?

Looking for recommendations of websites to purchase genuine full version (not upgrades or OEM?) Microsoft products other than Microsoft themselves, would appreciate any help.
There is a site, http://www.ebuyer.com/ has anyone used them and are they genuine Microsoft products?

eBuyer are fine. I use them for all my computer parts.
dabs is another one.0 -
eBuyer (assuming you mean http://www.ebuyer.com/ and not some site stealing the name) is a well established and legitimate site. I've probably ordered over a grands worth of products off there and never had problems0

Thanks for information and just checked, it is the same website. I have amended my original post to show the link http://www.ebuyer.com/0

I've also found them to have excellent customer service, which IMO counts for more than saving a couple of quid.
I've probably done £200+ worth of business in 3 lots, so far this year, I know that's not a huge amount but....
I had a DOA psu, which they arranged to be returned via UPS courier, Ebuyer emailed a link to UPS, and I was told to book a date which suited me, all FOC.
I was given the choice of a replacement or a different model, which was dispatched using the next day delivery service.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
spent in excess of 4000 pounds with ebuyer since 2003 and never had any problems0

Amazon? PC World? Comet? Currys? Argos?0

If making a purchase from eBay is there a way to tell if the software is genuine and hasn't been tampered with?
Well, to be honest, the only Microsoft software that I ever buy is Office for Mac, once every three years, or so, when a new version comes out.
And I only buy it if it comes in a sealed box, with a full set of unused registration keys.
But I've never had a problem with one I bought on eBay. I do take a detailed look at the Feedback of the seller and also check what other items the seller is auctioning, in order to get a feel for the nature and integrity of the person or outfit with whom I am transacting.
Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:
As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
you'd now be better off living in one.
