One thing I learned is to never bid on something that does not have an actual photo of the item in question. Not a box shot from a company web site, but a photo of the actual item you will be receiving. 

As for OEM items, they are usually not intended to be sold without the equipment they were bundled with. Unscrupulous people will seperate the software from the hardware and sell it for extra money. 

I don't believe companies sell overstocked OEM software on eBay :)
