The US van A currently has a piece or 5.000 Humvees on offer. With such a common flat powerhouse, fellow road users are at best traffic-inhibiting measures.
Of course, the former professional soldiers are disarmed and de-militarized. The armor has been removed in this way.
But even then: If you want to bid on a Humvee then a third-degree interrogation must be made before the purchase to make it clear that you are not prepared to do scary things with your property. For that, you must also submit your complete CV, including all conceivable details.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands was a lot more flexible when selling the DAFjes YA66
The highest bid for an army surplus Hummer is 41.000 dollars
We include the purchase conditions for the Humvees with this story:
Surplus Terms and Conditions
These Surplus Terms and Conditions pertain to the sale of usable surplus assets for the US Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) Disposition Services, other agencies of the US Government and their Contractors (collectively, the “US Government”) and other persons or organizations selling property consistent with our DLA Disposition Services offerings.
The Surplus Terms and Conditions were last revised on July 25, 2015.
1. END-USE CERTIFICATES (EUC) (DLA FORM-1822)
IRONPLANET WILL NOT SELL ANY DEMIL FOR OR PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPROVED END-USE CERTIFICATE. When an END-USE CERTIFICATE (EUC) is required to complete the transaction, no property will be released or removed until all certificates are filed and the property has been cleared for release. There will be no exceptions or exclusions to this requirement. The edition of the EUC, DLA Form-1822, provided online is the ONLY valid form accepted for this sales event. Once it is determined that you are the high bidder, after the sale close date, apply the following deadlines: You will have seven business days from the sale closing date to submit a completed EUC. If revisions to the EUC are necessary, you will have an additional five business days to make revisions and submit an EUC capable of being accepted by IronPlanet or the DLA Office of Criminal Investigations Trade Security Control (“TSC”) Office, whichever will be reviewing the EUC. Buyers who have not submitted an acceptable EUC (DLA Form-1822) within 12 business days will have their winning bids voided and liquidated damages assessed equal to the greater or 25% of the winning bid or thirty dollars ($ 30).
The requirement that the EUC is complete, correct and legible is your obligation. We do not control the amount of time required for approval or the final decision to allow or disallow the release of the property to the individuals completing and filing the EUC.
Prospective Buyers of property originating from the DLA Disposition Services or the US Government are notified that property sold is subject to Demil Code changes as imposed by the DLA Disposition Services or the US Government. If an item's Demil status changes to "F" or "Q", you agree to complete a DLA Form-1822 when informed of the change, and if requested by the US Government. Buyers will be notified in writing, with an explanation of the sale / lot / item in question, and a copy of the End-Use Certificate will be provided for completion. This becomes a condition of sale.
Sales of DLA Disposition Services original property for which EUCs have not been approved by TSC within 60 days of submission will be canceled by IronPlanet at our sole discretion without liquidated damages to the Buyer.
2. THE PROPERTY
2.1. Demilitarization as a Condition of Sale ("DCS") Property. Demilitarization as a Condition of Sale (“DCS”) property are items that must be demilitarized earlier to applicable Department of Defense regulations before title to the residue can pass to the Buyer. We will advise you of the demilitarization procedures for DCS property offered for sale on this website. Demilitarization will be effected by melting, popping, crushing, deforming, or otherwise mutilating the property so as to completely destroy its military purposes. The use of precision torch fixtures, saws, tools or any kind to minimize mutilation or demilitarization is forbidden. Buyers or DCS property are subject to surveillance and verification by the Department of Defense. Failure to perform the required demilitarization within 30 days of property removal may result in the Buyer being referred to the Defense Logistics Agency ("DLA") bidding privileges with us. You represent that only US persons (US citizens or legal permanent residents) will perform or have access to the demilitarization procedures communicated by IronPlanet.
2.2. Demil Code Changes; Return of Restricted Property. In the event that DLA Disposition Services changes a Demil Code or note that an item offered for sale by IronPlanet may not be sold, or must be sold with restrictions, IronPlanet may withdraw the item from sale or place additional restrictions on sale at any time prior to the removal of the item by the Buyer. The Buyer will be limited in remedy to a refund of the purchase price and cancellation of the sale.
Items sold by us, which are subsequently changed to a Demil Code status determined to be restricted by DLA Disposition Services or the US Government, must be returned by you to the nearest DLA Disposition Services facility or other US Government facility (if not originating from DLA ), and you will be reimbursed for the purchase price and any documented transportation costs incurred by you. If you have already transferred the property to another party, you agree to provide the name and contact information of that party to the Department of Defense or other federal government agency charged with the investigation of the transfer or recovery of the property. Your failure to cooperate in returning these items, providing contact information of transfers or completing and submitting End-Use Certificates upon any Demil Code change may grounds for suspension of your account and prohibition from bidding in future IronPlanet or US Government sales, and we reserve the right to suspend your participation without providing you with any additional notice or warning.
In the event that a Buyer is requested to return property determined by the DLA Disposition Services or the US Government to be restricted, Buyer understands that any certification to IronPlanet regarding what has been returned will be forwarded to the Government and be the basis for determining any refund due the Buyer. If you falsely claim a refund for property you have not returned to DLA Disposition Services or the US Government, you may be liable under the False Claims Act, 18 USC §287. Included with the request for return property, you will receive contact information for Fast Track Logistics, who will be responsible for returning the property to the Government at no cost to the Buyer.
You agree to cooperate with DLA Disposition Services and the US Government in the recovery of property that was sold to you, which is later determined to have been restricted, and understand that if you fail to do so you will be deemed by the DLA Disposition Services or the US Government to be “uncooperative” and may be denied access to future sales events at the discretion of the DLA Disposition Services or the US Government.
2.3. Hazardous Components or Constituents. Certain property may have components, parts, constituents or ingredients that may be corrosive, reactive, ignitable or exhibit other hazardous or toxic properties. You are careful to use and ultimately dispose of any hazardous components or constituents according to all applicable local, national or international laws and regulations in a manner safe for the public and the environment.
Certain pieces of property may contain residual chemicals, friable asbestos, petroleum products and ozone depleting substances or other hazards. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for providing documentation or certification regarding the identification or status of these substances. Certain pieces of property have design features that may be hazardous if warning labels are not heeded.
3. REMOVAL OR PROPERTY
You understand and agree that the DLA Disposition Services reserves the right to withdraw any and all property offered for sale up to the time the property has been removed. If this occurs, IronPlanet's liability is limited to return or the purchase price paid for the lot. IronPlanet has no liability for specific performance, incidental or consequential damages.
You are responsible for rigging, loading, securing and transporting purchased property, including all costs and risks associated with removal. Please note that IronPlanet does not package items prior to pickup. Buyers need to make arrangements for packing or purchased items with a packing and shipping store, or other suitable vendor.
Where IronPlanet indicates the property must be loaded by the Buyer, you must provide all material handling equipment and properly trained and certified operators to operate said equipment. Additionally, you must provide proof of adequate general liability insurance, and proof of worker's compensation insurance. IronPlanet and the DLA Disposition Services must be listed as additional insured on the general liability insurance. Your employees or agents are responsible for compliance with all federal, state, local and host installation (the military installation where the property is located) environmental, safety and health regulations while operating equipment on the site.
In the event IronPlanet / DLA Disposition Services extends the removal period to accommodate your needs, you understand and accept that any liability and risk of loss does not rest with IronPlanet or the DLA Disposition Services, but is at your own risk.
Buyer certifies that Buyer maintains the minimum legally required workers compensation insurance for any employees performing work for Buyer at any government facility.
You are responsible for any damages to property, including spills or releases of hazardous substances, which may occur during the removal process. Failure by you or your agent to clean up any releases or to repair any damages may result in your being banned from future participation in IronPlanet sales, and you may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Either you or your agent will be required to sign for all material in the presence of an IronPlanet representative prior to removing property.
4. TRANSFER OR TITLE
4.1. Timing or Transfer or Title. Unless property is sold with a requirement for demilitarization or other destructive scrapping, title will transfer to you upon removal or the entire lot from the military installation. Title to property that requires demilitarization as a condition of sale (DCS) or that requires some other form of destructive scrapping will not pass to you until the demilitarization or destructive scrapping has been completed and evidence of completion has been provided to us. Under no circumstances will title to any property pass to the buyer until payment in full has been made to IronPlanet.
4.2. Transfer of Title to Vehicles. If requested, IronPlanet will supply a SF97 to customers under the following conditions: The vehicle must have been sold in a “usable” property sale. There is a processing fee of $ 50 or € 50, depending on where the item is purchased, for EACH SF97 requested. Customers that purchase items located in the United States and require a Florida state certificate or title or duplicate state certificate or title will be charged $ 50. In addition, IronPlanet will charge a document preparation fee or $ 100 for each Florida state certificate or title or duplicate state certificate or title.
