and its not returnable/refundable

Is that actual Newegg, or a 3rd party seller on Newegg?
There's a difference (sort of).

7-11 style scratch-off lottery style key revelation ain't workin' so well...

"Sold and Shipped by..."
Whom?

I can't imagine actual Newegg not standing behind what they sell.
A 3rd party on the Newegg platform? I can absolutely see that happening. Little better than fleabay.

If this is the listing, it is legit and Newegg will stand behind the product (Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg):

Are you a human?

If this is it, newegg will absolutely stand by it.

Are we referring to the Newegg 'recovery disk' options at $9.99 (i.e., no license key included)? I did not see any suspiciously low pricing there, otherwise)

Anyone can download the ISO onto am 8 GB flash drive from MS... for free. Been that way a long time. They are basically just preloading the ISO onto media for you, only the uninformed would think it is a valid OEM/retail installation source...I would think, anyway)

The OEM Win10 Pro pricing seems about right, however, and as it is not a retail box, I'd not be surprised at 'scratch off' key....; so naturally, once someone sees/has the key, they are not risking returns, as nothing would prevent dishonest buyers from returning it, and using the key anyway, to the detriment of any other future buyers.

Why do you think this is a bogus key? A clear explanation would be a lot more helpful than a few vague sentences.
