It's really not that complicated.

Get the serial number of the box from the seller. Call Shaw, tell them you're looking to buy it used, and you just want to confirm that the box is free and clear. If it is, you're good to go. Easy-peasy!

IDEALLY you want the seller to call and tell Shaw he's selling it, but I've managed to activate them before without that.

In addition to other concerns about the box being stolen, etc., Shaw won't activate a box for you if it's attached to account that owes money. My brother gave me his Shaw terminal once, and they wouldn't activate it for me, because he owed Shaw something like $300 (he moved to a new place that had Telus TV and didn't need the box or Shaw, so he just didn't bother paying them what he owed them).
