I took mine off-line, and it won't be going back up. They work for some, and maybe I can save someone from getting ripped off by AT&T.

Yes. I got mine second hand. Just make sure that you disconnect it from the network and off of your account before the new owner tries to activate it. Make them aware it can be a serious pain working with these. My story: http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/3G-MicroCell/SOL

Yes, they will.
As the above replier states, it's best to have the original owner disassociate it from their account first.
However, if you buy it from Ebay or somewhere, and when you go to activate the Microcell it shows as still associated with another account, simply call AT&T and explain the situation.
I purchased a used Microcell from Ebay, and after finding it to be still associated with the original owner's account (and having no idea who first owned it), a call to AT&T allowed them to verify that the device was no longer in use and they deactivated it from the old account and put it onto my account.
I've heard stories about it taking weeks to do this; they did mine in about 15 minutes.
