So as an overview it's a reseller of "unused keys". Typically this comes from oem's or maybe a business that bought a package of so many keys but only needs x amount and sells the rest. That's typical and there's not a thing wrong with that. The risk is that it COULD be a key from someone running stolen credit cards to buy keys, then selling them for profit. So there's a risk the key is illegitimate or from theft. TYPICALLY it's not, but it COULD be. Even if purchased from a stolen CC, it would be a legit key and work fine, so no prob for you, and the theft victim would file theft with the bank and get refunded in most situations. So there's a moral line here where you have to decide if the drastically lower price is worth the risk of possibly getting a key from a thief. Again MOST is just OEM and business stuff, but it could be from a bad source and you just have to account for that risk. For me I used it for my key because in most cases victims of cc theft will file and get money returned, so the small risk that I get one of those cases doesn't bother me enough to overcome not wanting to spend 150 on windows then again on office
Many folks still rely on them. I try to steer clear now if possible. They were acquired by a Chinese firm and the service has changed. The third-party sellers have also messed with the site. Of course, Amazon does the same, but one benefit of Newegg was knowing you were interacting directly with them.
I haven't encountered any problems with Newegg yet, but I'll stay alert.
