Ebay

[Techfizzle]

I have two dish receiver on ebay I bought real cheap from a yard sale I am selling them becuase they are worth $75 a piece which is good money. Anyway. I have two questions from ebay members. One ask for the dnasp and revison numbers and the other one asks for the number of the bootm corner of the smart card. Should I tell them this or is this info used for bad things.

You need to tell them the serial number, caid number, and smartcard number so they know if the boxes are legit or not.

 

[Techfizzle]

so what is the dnasp and revison numbers?

 

[mojosat]

These let the buyer know whether or not an ird and or card are hackable. Or so I hear.

 

[Techfizzle]

so dont give them the dnasp and revison?

All they need to check on a receiver from E* is the serial number and smartcard number. Look for the R00 and S00 numbers.

If you post these numbers on e-bay, Dish will probably step in and prevent you from selling them.

If they ask for the numbers, email or pm them the numbers there is nothing wrong with that. Just don't post all the numbers on your ebay listing.

Depending on those numbers is what your receiver might be worth.. It's a hacker thing. Certain cards bring more money.. But I don't really know about this stuff..

Man, you're selling this stuff, why you're so precaution ? They didn't ask you to hack it, right ? So, the numbers, letter what could be readed by naked eye wasn't secrets.

Give 'em the numbers. Their is nothing illegal about it and it just might increase the value of your auction if their are the right numbers well above the $75.

I wouldn't give out the other numbers, just the R00 and S00 via email. Giving the other numbers is like handing the gun over to someone you know is about to rob a bank.

 

[pabeader]

no problem, as long as you don't plan to enter the bank.

Really ? You're overreacting.
Anything what printed and could be readed without hacking is open info, not a gun, c'mon.
If you could read to us what written on your girlfriend underwear, doesn't mean you permit ... , right ?

 

[vegassatellite]

Knowing someone's intent makes all the difference.

I wouldn't have a problem handing a gun over to a reasonable person, but knowing they were headed to the bank would change my mind.

it's not the seller's fault if Dish can't be bothered to secure their signal. Whatever makes it more valuable for sale is just that, maybe a buyer likes to collect cards of a certain color/vintage for his personal collection, who can know for sure.

If Dish is really concerned about it, they will make better efforts to stop the illegal use of their signals, and make the premium paid for the specific equipment a moot point. If they are not concerned, why not make as much as possible on what you have for sale.

its used for stealing..plain and simple

 

[daboogas94e]

tell them all the info they want.......why should you care what they do with the equipment????

 

[Ronald_Jeremy]

Really? Stealing what? A guy wants to buy a bull and he wants to know if it is a Brahma or Black Angus, and suddenly he is a THIEF? LOL

You mind enlightening us on how the buyer can steal using that info?

 

[pabeader]

What are they stealing? Remember there is a federal law that says we are allowed to receive any signal that is produced and distributed in the US and its protectorates. The only thing that supposed pirates can be charged with is copyright infringement. Just because somebody says it’s stealing, doesn’t mean it actually is...
