By all means, go back and see what they say. Generally I've found that
hardware is fair game to repair (if needed) and re-sell. Most won't touch
the software because of legal problems, but some are more zealous about
removing it than others. (some also leave it to the people throwing the
stuff away to remove software, which often isn't done)
