Of course people sell them purely for money. My point was that if NTL did the job properly and picked up 100% of set-top boxes when people unsubscribed, there wouldn't be any to go on eBay (apart from a small number taken in break-ins, as I mentioned before).

You can blame people for being greedy and for not abiding to the T&Cs, but NTL have it within their power to stop the market in illegal boxes almost completely, and they aren't doing it.
