I'm sure you know the old saying, "If something sounds too good to be true, it generally is"

Site mentioned is an auction site.

IMO, that means that there are obvious inherent risks in purchasing anything, same as one would encounter on eBay or similar sites.

From what I saw those are Upgrade Disks, not full OS's so they will be less expensive. If you should ever need to reinstall you'll need your original OS and the upgrade disks.
