Apparently so.. ISTR something like that in the past - certainly this
was the first time I've actually bid on a Q item. So it would seem
that they are now offering stuff without the destruction rqmt. This
latest auction seems to be all Demil Q stuff.
The really strange thing about all this excursion into govt surplus is
the stuff they apparently still carry as critical weapons technology...
an HP 2100 minicomp? that's like the recent discussion about the
missile guidance computers... our govmnt at work!

The comment about the wait involved a requirement
that I'd not dealt with before - namely that of an EUC or End User Certificate. DLA
does a background check to validate that you are a US citizen when the item in question is
prohibited from sale to a foreign national (Demil Q). That process took 8 wks. Once
completed, G/L releases the item to the shipper. FastTrack shipped it from OH to CA in
10 days.
There was some scary language in their EULA about "Demil B and Q"
items having a requirement to be "mutilated beyond reasonable hope of
recovery", which was a horrifying phrase (worse, they wanted to be
there and watch while you did it, the sick bastards). Is that only
for items designated for scrap?
