Hey what's the deal with the software I'm seeing on Ebay. There are tons of
MS products being offered, but they all say that the proof of purchase has
been carefully removed.

Are these products actually pirated versions?

What the heck do the sellers do with all these proof of purchases? And how
can they afford to sell the software for half of what it costs to get it
from MS?

There's got to be some funny business going on, right?
