They are officially the property of Virgin Media and you CANNOT sell them. They will try charging your sister (if they can find her) for replacement costs of all the equipment.

Middle daughters Boyf works for them :y

Illegally LOL they shouldn't sell them, obviously they aren't that hot on enforcement.

my sister tod virgin about the boxes being there and they didnt say anything
my sister asked if they would activate the boxes in her name and they said no we will give you new boxes because virgin have now updated there boxes
she asked what happens with these and they said nothing on our system for the boxes to be collected or anything

As ex Virgin staff, best advice is to hand the boxes to the tech when your sister is installed.
They are and remain the property of Virgin Media. You could be prosecuted by Virgin if you sell them on egay
