There is nothing wrong with this supplier or their pricing.

These are for OEM versions of Microsoft office.  100% legit.

They are also WHOLESALE prices. Which means for resellers such as 
myself, we buy them at this price as a component to be sold as part of a 
new system etc.

That is how we can build a $1500 PC which includes a copy of Microsoft 
Office.

Of course OEM licensed software is much cheaper than the $600 to $900 
you may for a RETAIL copy, but there is still nothing dodgy about this 
supplier or their prices - they are just not direct to the public.

Much the same as $19, 990 is not what the dealer pays for a new Hyundai.
