Have you searched for a saleable copy of XP recently?

After I decided that I wanted to get a used laptop for garage work I was surprised how many of them came equipped with Win 8 or Win 10 from the re-furbishers. A few came with Win 7 but I couldn't find any that came with XP. Six to twelve months ago things were different as used machines loaded with XP were still available.
Then I started looking for copies of XP on the secondary market. Not an exhaustive search by any means but four or five internet searches over a two week period. I found copies of SP2 and SP3 updates for XP but nothing for the full version.
My Toughbook is loaded with Vista which is sort of XP. Turn off enough of the dummy features and it is almost an improved version of XP, or so says my former Software Engineer son who is now in Medical School and far less involved with computers.
