While you are totally correct in it being legal for the present owner, didn't the same law make it illegal to resell it?

If a scanner was built and sold BEFORE the "Law" for cell phones came into being it is a LEGAL unit and NOT required to comply with that law!!

The Realistic Pro 2006 Scanner did not come from the factory with cell
phone frequency coverage...it's specifications lists a reception gap
of 868.945 MHz-898 MHz...it required a modification to restore this
frequency gap (open up, clip 1 diode) very simple mod...but making it
technically illegal to own, operate, or sell. As the previous
Gentleman pointed out the seller can get the point across by adding
"YES. IT DOES"...if the seller lists "continuous coverage"...does eBay
pull the auction?..."YES.THEY DO!"

It is not for sale, it is for auction.
Sale. Auction. Two different words, two different things.

Not to defend, but you better look at that auction again, and open you eyes
this time... There is a "Buy-It-Now" price listed, therefore it is in fact
FOR SALE as well as FOR AUCTION...

Two different things, YES. But, in this case it is BOTH things, not just
one...

Be careful John, you have upset the
ebay boys. Don't get upset our little
ebay boy.
