You reason don't procure omitting the number and posting them will make life easy for potential buyer. Keep buyers out from checking a status before bidding doesn't sound right.
Hell, they are forbidding their dealers from selling perfectly legal equipment. That is pretty spectacularly idiotic.Now how much more spectacularly idiotic is Dish going to get? Card hacking isn't the sensible way to pirate anymore, and Dish even knows why!
I stated the receiver was new and not ever assigned to an account and that Dish confirmed it was good to go. When someone asked me for the numbers, I told them I would give that information to the winning bidder and he can then check the status before sending payment.
I do not care to know how card hacking is accomplished, but it would seem possible, knowing the card and receiver numbers, that a person so inclined might be able to fabricate a false duplicate card with a hacked up receiver. So I would also be reluctant to list that information initially, but agree with you that the honest buyers have a different slant on the information.
