Common-sense should tell us that once you paid a replacment fee that the box becomes yours (in any court in the land), so it is legal to sell it on Ebay or anywhere else.

You may then do whatever you please with it, including selling it on eBay.
At last - someone else whos got common-sense enough to see the difference between what VM 'say' and what's right (lawful)
