I would hate to get this account suspended over this as ive had it for 2 years no w but for good reasons I want to/will cancel this order ( now that i think about it )
Have you guys ever had microsoft purchase your items? or any other vero company trying to make sure your stuff is legit
Buyers address is
1 MICROSOFT WAY
REDMOND WA 98052

I would be very paranoid about that situation. Cancel the transaction, and run like hell!

You know, I live in Seattle, and that is Microsoft's corporate headquarters' address. Really nice place; I've been there a couple times. So this is not just some random MS employee, it's probably the anti-piracy team doing a test purchase.
If your stuff is legit, no worries at all! Microsoft is basically the easiest vero to fight if your stuff is not counterfeit. And they aren't like some clothing line; as long as your stuff is good (generally), MS doesn't care what your credentials are. PM me if you don't want to share more info publicly, and I will advise. I have fought, and won, against MS several times.

Sounds like your in the same situation as me with companies buying off you!
By the way Microsoft , Nike etc I wouldn't want to get involved with them. If you cancel that transaction you'll prob get a vero warning.
Did you say all your goods are foo foo right?

Oh then I would run because they will just purchase from you being undercover unless they already have. Do what I did, end the listing and run! If you cancel they will just buy under another account that is a 'stealth' one

Oh no not all my stuff is probably 75% is legit, I purchase directly from a major distributor but this item has been discontinued by microsoft so they are probably wondering how I have so many. My red flag was raised earlier when I noticed my listed was gone but I had a good number of pieces left. There are other ppl selling these as well..

The old defense of others are selling the item so it's fine for me to sell too.
So what does your 6th sense tell you?

Cancel is what it told me the second I saw the address but trying to figure out a good way to make it seem like I didnt want to cancel if that makes any sense.

I am handling this matter privately with the OP, but bottom line, I don't think it's that serious.

But you dont KNOW what they have done with the others.
Forget the other sellers.
Do what you must to DEFEND your account.
Suggest you avail yourself of the offer from ovidiu.
If the listig is pulled then that's one less problem
Cancelling, running and panicking does one thing. Shows your guilt.
Consider an alternative response

Well this is really just one more lesson to anyone willing to listen (and no disrespect at all to GameFreak): If you even suspect you have phakes, do not list on Amazon. One report of phake goods, from a disgruntled buyer, can destroy an account you may have spent years on. There is ZERO tolerance for phakes on AZ.

I mentioned NOTHING about this specific item being legit | No, you are just trying to justify what you do as if we are going to respect you more. I'm sure all of your items are "discontinued" because you've admitted all what you do in numerous posts here. The fact that you would come here crying simply shows you have no clue what you are doing and no different than some petty street peddler. MS already has you on their map with this account so you're screwed either way.

No, I actually went there to purchase Microsoft software right on their front lawn!
Hey unkown5454, chill out man. You could do a lot worse than messing with MS, believe me.

A couple good ones. This isn't the typical MO. Most MS employees are scared ****less about dealing in software with outsiders. Some background: Basically, MS has a "company store", where software and other items are sold at about 10% of retail cost. So full retail Office 2010 Pro, for example, can be had for about $60. That's guaranteed profit for whoever finds an employee who will sell software. There's a big Internet industry centered around latching onto MS employees and using their credit to buy discounted software. What can be worse than MS out of interest?
Basically any other VERO. How many companies do you know of that will give you a chance to clean your act up and not sue like crazy at the first chance they get????

Update ...
I seems as if though M$ went after the other sellers selling the item "too" low.
