Employee help verifying customer-owned ARRIS SB8200 is available for a new owner

I own an ARRIS SURFboard SB8200 cable modem and plan to sell it. Could an official Xfinity employee help me privately verify that it is no longer associated with my former account and can be activated by a new owner?

I tried Xfinity Assistant and phone support but could not reach someone who could check the equipment record. I am not requesting new service or activation on my account.

Please let me know how to provide the modem identifiers and any required account verification through a private channel. I have not posted the MAC address, serial number or personal account information here. Thank you.
