purchasing office xp pro & authenticity

[ronaries]

How can I be sure I am getting the valid, original MS
Office XP product when I purchase Office XP Pro from a
private party? Seller says that it is new, unused, etc.
due to office liquidation. I do not wish to support
counterfeiting of product...
thanks,
ron
