Hi Hal:

I got a couple of Austron 2100T Loran-C timing receivers from Government 
Liquidation (the private contractor that sells most of the U.S. 
Government's surplus stuff).  Some time later someone drove hundreds of 
miles and stayed at a local motel so he could come to my place and see 
each one that I bought or get the name and address of who I sold it to.

If you have something that "might" be on a list that should not be 
exported there's no easy way to find out.  There's no web page, or hard 
copy document to check against.  If  you're in the U.S. and deal with 
military surplus it would be very difficult to export anything without 
spending a lot of time figuring out if it was allowed or not allowed.  
If you did spend the time there would be no profit left or the price 
would be very high.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
