The point I was trying to make was that it is OK for a private
individual to sell a used, pre-1994 scanner, but it is not OK for a
manufacturer (or anyone else) to sell an unblocked post-1994 scanner.
I didn't carry it through far enough as it would also be OK for a
dealer to sell a pre-1994 scanner. I should have made that more
clear.

.. It's amusing to read that "it's
ok on private sales" even though this is a widely PUBLIC forum, read by
tens of thousands as would be eBay if you went there. Whether you are a
"public" store with credentials for selling as a business makes little
difference if you advertise publicly. There is nothing private about the
internet and that argument holds water like a leaky bucket.
