I'm suspicious.
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet

Yes this site smells fishy to me as well...death_hawk wrote: ↑ I'm suspicious.
Most legit sites don't sell "N" versions domestically since they're for Europe.
They also list LTSC which I'm fairly certain can't be sold individually. You must buy at least 5 other licenses.
This smells like an MSDN reseller but with hilarious pricing. JUST low enough below retail where you suspect they may be legit but so high compared to other MSDN resellers that it's a joke.
I very well could be wrong and these guys are legit, but this doesn't smell right at all.

That's interesting, if they are not suspicious, then that $99 is an attractive price. The Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 costs $169.99 at Staples on a regular price. Usually during a sale, it is about $20 to $30 off, or sometimes if you buy a brand new PC, they would also give a discount for the Microsoft Office. That $99 price is lower than major store's sale price of $140.death_hawk wrote: ↑ I'm suspicious.

Retail seems to be $169 everywhere. Probably MAP. Discount with new PC doesn't really count.stack21 wrote: ↑ That's interesting, if they are not suspicious, then that $99 is an attractive price.

Oh this is Windows.I am curious, though, where do you find that "N" version you mentioned? It doesn't seems to have any version/model no at all, just "Office 2019 Home and Student". Where do you find "LTSC"? Why do you say you must buy 5 other licenses? I could add just one copy of Office, if I click checkout, I can just buy one copy.

Oh this is Windows.
LTSC is the "special" version of Windows you can't buy normally hence why I'm suspicious. This is one where you basically have to go to a reseller and set up a license agreement.
AFAIK there's no way to buy single licenses of Windows 10 LTSC.
Outside of Windows Server and LTSC, everything else is licensable as one unit without having to setup an agreement.
But I'm still not 100% sure I'm right or wrong. These very well could be legitimate but there's enough signs there that point towards not legitimate.
