Its an install disc for Ubuntu

Its just a recovery disk. He states clearly that you have to have your own license or coa.

You can sell most anything on eBay until you're caught. Then they just remove your listings.

For all you know, he may have just gotten the digital river downloads. There was a trick a while back where you could remove a .efi file from a windows 7 .iso file before burning it to create a universal Windows 7 install disc. Maybe he's done that and then tried to make it dual boot with a smaller linux distro? Though really sounds like the seller just burned a Windows Home Premium iso file onto a disc and said it does all these things, because with the windows 7 disc, you can try to have it do startup repair, system restore, etc, which seems to be what he's claiming, so he may just be selling copied windows install discs with no COA which might be iffy.

And that --> "removing the .efi file" <-- works great! It turns the install into an ALL-IN-ONE for both 32-bit & 64-bit versions.

Personally I wouldn't offer free tech support because as most of us know, not all hardware drivers are included on the installation software.

Right, but think this way. If the guy has iso files, dvd's in bulk are what 25 cents each? If he can bun one each time someone orders one not knowing what they are buying, think in terms, he sells for 7.99, 7.99 minus 25 cents, maybe 10 cents in ink to print a label, and maybe 1.50-2 bucks to ship. Making essentially 5 dollars a pop. What if you can sell 10 a day or more. 10 per day at 5 in profits is 50 bucks a day. If you start selling items like repair discs maybe really customized linux distros, and only make the windows repair discs not the installer ones and sell those at 3-4 a pop, think about it it. Move enough you aren't doing bad, and then even if you were a pizza tech, between ebay and low rates on those, you could still make a living probably.

Just noticed he claims to have the Windows 8 discs also.....just saying.

In fact I have even found a universal Windows 8.1 disc on there. Tempting actually lol.

Pretty good idea you can even sell customized hbcd Linux with a cool design on the DVD IMG not bad @ all

I had a customer who thought he had bought the OS Reload disks for his laptop, but it was just a windows 7 repair cd. It clearly said it was only a repair disk on the label so probably it was mostly the customer's mistake, but it means people are indeed selling this kind of stuff successfully.
