A Tivo with lifetime is worth quite a bit since they stopped offering lifetime subscriptions earlier this year. People have paid over $700 just for a lifetime gift card, and units with lifetime regularly clear $500 on eBay.

Since TiVo is allowing transfers from lifetimed S1 or S2 boxes to the S3, for a $199 fee, through the end of the year, a lot of people are searching for lifetime boxes to transfer from.
