I have a Cogeco modem (Cisco DPC3848VW DOCSIS 3.0) that was left behind by tenants in a house I rent out. I've had it for about 6 months now, but since I'm not on cable, and never have been, I don't know much about this modem, whether it can be reset to a new user, etc.
If I sell it, am I basically ripping someone off selling them something they won't be able to use? How can I know whether it will work? It was working when they had it. No one has come looking for it, so I don't know if it's a rental or bought out. Considering Cogeco services that house and brought a new modem for the new tenant, the address must be clear in their system.
Before anyone says I should give it back to the previous tenants rather than selling it, unless it's worth in the thousands of dollars (which it is not!), I'm out that much in clean up and repair costs after those people, so I can sleep at night recovering a few bucks off of it - if it will work.
