I usually see M1101/1102 costs $8995 (based on GP sticker). However, my M1102 shows $10,810. What is special about this M1102? Additional, demil : Q. What demilitarize has to do with this trailer. It looks brand new to me.

The price you get on the tag depends on what contract the trailer was bought under. The tag will be the result of the total contract price divided by the number of trailers (in this case). But one contract total can be very different from another.

As an example, with made up numbers for simplicity, if a contract is let for 10 trailers and nothing else, and the total is $20,000, then the trailers cost $2000 each and that is what would be on the tag.

But if the contract was for 10 trailers, plus misc. parts, plus two spare tires for each trailer, and training soldiers on maintenance of the new trailers,the total contract might be $30,000. Since there are still only 10 trailers, the total will be divided by 10 and the tag will say that each trailer cost $3000, even though the actual trailers only cost $2000 each.

Works pretty much the same for everything the government buys. Makes sense to someone, I suppose.

Cheers

Your trailer was coded Q which means;
CCLI — Commerce Control List Item Demilitarization not required. CCLI are dual-use (military, commercial, and other strategic uses) items under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Export Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, through the Export Administration Regulations. The types of items under the Commerce Control List (CCL) are commodities (i.e., equipment, materials, electronics, propulsion systems, etc.), software, and technology. The CCL does not include those items exclusively controlled by another department or agency of the U.S. Governme

Several years ago, those trailers had to have a EUC cleared before you picked it up! Now, it is just pay & go home with it! EUC's seem like whack a mole game as they transfer around to different equipment on & off again!

It is still required EUC. I had to wait almost 3 months before I could pick it up.

It just depends on what they were used to haul, some that had antennas, or radars got EUC's even though it had been removed.
