Throughout my journey in cheating and creating hacks, I’ve realized my past actions. I understand now that many people still don’t talk about HWID bans or how secondhand shops avoid selling restricted hardware. I learned this by seeing others sell banned PCs on sites like eBay. For instance, in games such as Fortnite, anti-cheat systems tag various identifiers—HDD serial, CPU serial, SMBIOS, MAC address, even COM ports. If someone cheats and gets banned, those details are removed, so a new system can be bought quickly. When they try to play again, they’re instantly blocked. This shows how important it is to double-check what you buy secondhand, as these systems can flag almost any hardware. Just ask questions if you want more clarity—I’m open to discussion.

Are we required to verify second-hand items for prohibited peripherals during NICS checks?

There isn’t a secure method to test these components. You can reach out to sellers, but they might mislead you. I’ve seen real friends buy items on eBay and find hardware that wasn’t properly registered in the system. It seems like it would need coordination with anti-cheat services and market authorities, which usually goes unnoticed until you have the current understanding of the situation.
