As I believe I stressed, a USED copy (and it very clearly was used, borne out both by the posted pictures before I bought it and the box-in-hand after it arrived). And from an individual who has only ever listed one copy of Windows on eBay, ever.
Sometimes private owners want to simply clean out what they perceive to be "clutter" from their lives ASAP with little hassle, and without wringing every last possible penny of value from it. Haven't you ever been to a garage sale that 1 out of 10 times where you run across something that is clearly undervalued? Guess it's your lucky day. Current owner just wants it gone and doesn't care about leaving some money on the table. Underpricing things has a way of causing them to move fast, assuming that is your intention.
I actually would love to humor you on this (truly, no sarcasm), but as I very clearly pointed out in my post, the machine was upgraded to Windows 10 immediately afterward. So I cannot run MGADiag on the Windows 7 install, since it no longer exists. And I'm certainly not about to spend hours (not to mention disrupt the end-user's life) to uninstall 10, run MGADiag, and then re-install 10, just to prove to you that this was a valid copy. (This is assuming that at this point, uninstalling and going back to Windows 7 is still possible.)
I'm happy to run MGADiag on the current Windows 10 install if you think that would prove anything. The fact that MS activated Win10 after an in-place upgrade from this copy of 7 is proof enough for me. If I have a free evening, I might even entertain the idea of running over there with a blank hard drive, swapping that in for the one that has the end-user's current install, installing and re-activating this Windows 7 from scratch on this spare drive as a test, collecting the MGADiag results, and then putting the original hard drive back. As I'm sure you can appreciate, though, this time-consuming task is not high on my priority list.
