If you had the time, you could easily buy a PC with XP for around $100 (a pretty bad PC, probably around 1GHz), then take the sticker, wipe the hard drive and sell it for $70.

MS allows this, provided you remove XP from the original system. I personally don't do this, but it's not difficult.

If it's an OEM licence then you can't do this, as the T&C says that the licence cannot be transferred from the original PC.
