Selling your bt smart hub

[Danith]

So I've listed one on eBay and someone has bid.

I did the hard reset button on the back when it was connected, so just want to make sure I'm covered. Is that all you need to do to reset it for resale? It didn't flash any lights at all when I did it, is why I ask!

Any way I can check?

it'll be fine! they are plug and play or worst case you change some settings when using with another ISP

Cheers. Wondered what exactly people can steal from a used router!

lol they can't steal anything! potentially if it wasn't reset, they would know your MAC addresses of all of your various devices.. big deal.

Mac? As in the cheeseburger. I know naff all, when I was at school we had BBC computers with the proper floppy discs

 

[Danith]

Why do people buy them anyway??

 

[imprezaworks]

Upgrade their old routers probably

 

[Danith]

But don't you get new ones with your new internetz?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah but some are crap, i think?!?

 

[Danith]

Don't get it.

 

[imprezaworks]

Just a guess tbh.

When ive looked at deals in the past i have read that yeah the deal is good but the router is poor.

Or maybe theres tiny (but worth alot) pieces of gold inside them......

 

[sn00p]

It’s bizarre, why on earth anybody would buy a crappy router that is given away with internet service....

But hey, don’t knock it if somebody is that stupid to buy it!

Didn't realise you could sell them as they're technically owned by the supplier.
Be careful, once they plug it in they'll get all your midget p**n search history on their laptops

Sky rent theirs, well the q system anyway. Bt just you pay off over the term I guess. I checked with them today cos I had to send my sky q gear back otherwise get majorly stung for the replacement
