Noooby question - endowment surrender and TEPs

Hi - I'm currently looking into options of what to do with an existing endowment policy. I found an old question/answer by John Edwards at the Guardian site (circa 2006) in which he said that the first thing to do was to get a surrender figure from the insurance company. He added: "As well as giving you this information, it is obliged to tell you that there is a second-hand market available on which you may be able to sell your policy." Well, today, I asked for and received a surrender figure, but there was no mention of the second-hand market. Should I read anything into this? Have the "rules" changed or were they being remiss. Another alternative, I suppose, is simply that he was mistaken. Can anybody comment?
