I am a licenced reseller of both Hardware and Software. I have stayed away from OEM because i never really understood the requirements of selling it.
Do you have to sell it with hardware? or can it be sold to a customer whos computer you have worked on?

Ask the manufacturer of the OEM. Their vendor contract should tell you what you can do with it.
Microsoft's OEM policy is that OEM copies of Windows are the vendor's responsibility to support, and it must be sold with some sort of drive or CPU (I think I bought my last one with a floppy or a flash reader).

It really depends on the product and company. You need to read their license. OEM can mean anything from "sell it to anyone, it just doesn't come in fancy packaging" to "must be sold to authorized system builders only". For Windows XP for example, it's the latter (prior to 2006 it could be sold to anyone as long as it was sold with a major hardware component, but this was later closed and restricted to system builders).

Commonly, it must be sold with new hardware.
