It sounds more like there are export restrictions on *this* HP2100S.
Presumably it had confidential military data on it, though if it is
in fact NIB, that would surprise me. My guess is that it's just
easier for them to assume there's data on it that shouldn't be
exported than to make a mistake and export it.

That might perhaps be the case although I suspect not. My
understanding of the Demil process is that the DRMO people look up the
NSN in their monster database. If they find a match they use the data
to make disposition decisions. If the NSN for this item was never
removed from the restricted category, then it will show up yet today as
a export controlled item - and get a Demil Q code on the auction.

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.
Are you saying there are export restrictions on an HP2100A? I hate to say
this, but there are plenty of them outside the States....
