EUC - Has something changed? I'm so confused

I was the winner in an auction yesterday for an M931 truck. Today I receive an Paid in Full email. That usually doesn't happen until I complete my EUC....everything I've purchased in the past has always required an EUC. I contact GL support and ask what's up? They state an EUC is not required and your truck is ready for pickup. Uh...one day later? I haven't bought anything in months but the EUC process has always been painful on the wait. What has changed?

So confused...Can someone enlighten me?

sometimes they don't require them. Hopefully you aren't tied up and can go get your truck! I did the same thing, won a m915, filled out the EUC, sent it in, and they said, uh... no EUC required. I burned rubber to get the truck THAT DAY before they changed their minds...

Double check the sale page and see if the EUC red banner is there.

Sometimes things are miss coded by the people turning stuff in and things slip thru the cracks.

Have you ever seen the canoes that require an EUC?

I guess I'm so conditioned to knowing I could wait up to 90 days and one day after purchase they say....come get it? It feels so wrong lol!

Unless there is a big red banned that reads "EUC Certificate Required" near the bottom of the auction page, that means you don't need one. I only look for auctions without it for various reasons.

No red banner = no EUC

No idea how they come up with the requirements with what needs an EUC and what doesn't. Is a toss up. Seen tons of auctions for basic M105 trailers that need EUC's, but at the same time they have a 3-4 M35A3's and none need EUC's. Very weird.

Has anyone asked govli..com how or why or what?
There is no common sense that goes with that. I seriously doubt you will not get "one" answer that explains why one thing requires one and another doesn't.

I wouldn't ask either. Never know what they could do. Might even cause more of them to have an EUC put on them.

When we asked why the CDN M35 (MLVW) couldn't be allowed to be registered for the road, the government responded by not sending any of them to surplus anymore and is having all future trucks scrapped.

I just won a M931 today. I was going to fill out the EUC tonight but I better go back and look at the auction. I didn't pay any attention but I assumed it required a EUC.

roflroflroflrofl

You're new here aren't you?

*edit* I'm just kidding around with you. If you hang around here long enough you'll realize there is no rhyme or reason to the way GL and the GOV. surplus things out.

Just went back and looked at the lot. EUC required :(. Guess I'm not as lucky as some of y'all.

The two M1009s we picked up in Camp Shelby didn't require an EUC either. Which is fine if your ready to roll on a recovery trip. I was planning on 3 to 4 weeks, or more, prep time for the trip. Well, that didn't happen, had to roll that week :driver:

Yep, M931's almost never require an EUC which I imagine is one reason they tend to go for more money. People would rather spend more money to not have to wait. I guess there is something about a Cargo bed on a truck that makes it more dangerous in the hands of potential terrorists than a fifth wheel hitch.

Okay here's the skinny on what does and doesn't require a EUC it is determined by NSN at battle creek. Govliquidation doesn't get any real say in what does or doesn't have a EUC. Now about the 931's what's stupid is a 932 does require an EUC but 931 doesn't, the difference is the winch or so I was told. Now there is a process that can be filed to ask that the demil code of a nsn be changed, yeah like that's going to happen anytime under ten years!
