You've missed my point. The average ebayer would not necessarily know that the modem would not work out of the box, unless they have some technical knowledge of how Cable works. Why would they assume that it would not work? You can buy any number of ADSL modems and assume they will work with your ADSL service.
BTW, before you answer: Yes, I know that ADSL is quite a different thing to Cable Broadband, but the average ebayer may not know that.
