EUC required after bidding closed

[danjrofpa]

Has anyone noticed that some items do not indicate that a EUC is required during bidding and then shows up in your closed watch list as being required? This seems to happen quite often, or am I missing something?

Has anyone at GL ever made a list of all items that need an EUC or not?

Being from Canada, there is no way to bid on items that require it but it would suck if it shows up AFTER a bid and win....Not sure what
they would do about that, anyone run into that after the auction closed?

Good question Danjrofpa!!!

I have not noticed that. But I have noticed that active auctions that are in my watch list that require an EUC will not show up in the close watch list after the auction ends. Very annoying. I was told by GL that that is just the way it is.

This has happened many, many times over the years. GL does not control the requirement for an EUC. The federal government does. Many times the feds will re-classify the vehicle after an auction has closed and then GL is required to get an EUC from the buyer. I have seen folks told they need to file for an EUC years after the auction has closed. Does not make sense but that is how it works. For us MV buyers there is no reason to holler and squeal because we have tried to change how it works for many years without any changes being made to the rules. They simply do not care.

The latest items that showed up needing an EUC were 2 upright refrigerators that I was watching. Are you saying that they will enforce the EUC requirement when it shows up after bidding or do you need to call and confirm it? This all seems a little confusing.

Dan, GL will enforce EUC requirements at any time up until you take possession.

Yes, it is all confusing, because it's at the whim of federal government bureaucrats who make a career out of making sure they are irreplaceable.

Best advice? Don't expect it to be rational, just deal with it as it comes.


Oh, and be careful with those refrigerators. We all know what a huge threat they are to the security of the United States.

an off the wall idea, afterall it is just an Icon/ on the website during the auction period, some browsers may not show it or block it, after sale more direct contact from them it is sure to show up,

as for EUC's have more than 50 approved and of them about 5 that they asked for the items back, I replied no longer had the item and never heard anything else, have two flashing arrow boards , like they use for traffic, needed an EUC, won a lot of sealed bid lots fo $41.02 back when the bid started at $35 , most likely EUC scared bidders of.

Yep! I had 9 002's and 003's in my watch list. NONE said they required and EUC anywhere in the auctions. In my "closed watch list" everyone of them says an EUC is required

You have to be careful of refridgerators being sold to Iran for their milk enrichment program.
