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

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!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
