These deals are always for OEM keys which will bind to the hardware and be non-transferable. They're also not licensed to be sold for resale (though MicroSoft doesn't retaliate).
If you're tech savvy enough to want to buy your own greymarket key, you're probably tech savvy enough to "activate" windows without a license.
This isn't so much me being for or against either practice, just me providing (potentially out of date) information.
Look up Massgrave on Github, super easy to do.
