BP,
Why not just purchase a retail copy that you know is new and not activated
by someone else previously? Retail copies of Office 2003 allow for 2
installs, one desktop and one mobile and is fully upgradable. OEM copies are
bound to the system you install on only, non-transferrable to any other
machine.
Buying software previously owned is never a good idea. You could do a search
on this group for the multitudes of problems people run into by purchasing
software in this way...
