Obviously these people didn't grasp that bidding pushes the price up, and the items sell for a lot more than the opening bid.

I'd let the auction run, answer the questions from the hackers as best you can; but not giving any serial numbers or anything like that. If somebody needs the serial number they only need the first few digits; leaving the last 3 will protect potential bidders.

Which model of DVR is it by the way?
DVR 510. I may have already given out too much info. to one particular guy, though.

(God, I'm such a rube! )
