Heh ... especially when you consider this:
He buys a Sammy V box on 1st September:
He sells a Sammy V box on 24 September, insisting it 'works with Nagra 3' but insists on postal orders for payment:
Whoever bought this deserves everything they get.
Oh, hang on:
It seems there's no honour among thieves after all.

Re: Set top box modders go to jail
I thought ebay had some fairly strict rules about this?

Re: Set top box modders go to jail
Someone mentioned that earlier in the thread ... IIRC ebay won't act on allegedly stolen goods unless reported by the owner of said goods (i.e. VM) or the police.

Re: Set top box modders go to jail
