Once it hits the dumpster, it's fair game.

The owner of the dumpster is sometimes of a different opinion :-(

EEVblog:
One of the major test equipment manufacturers recently offered a trade-in sale. You know, any old bit of similar gear in exchange for a discount on their shiny new one.
Some of the stuff that get traded in is in excellent condition and worth a lot on ebay. But the dealers who accept are legally bound to destroy them, and to prove they have done so  :palm:
No giving it away to kids or hobbyists or schools  :--

Not when it's still on the premises, screw'em.
A late night stealth dumpster run in is order. "Boss, I'm just going to stay back and work late tonight, ok?"

Of course not. One goal of these trade-ins is to take competitor equipment off the market. Not to have kids or hobbyists experience well working competitor equipment.

Yes we live in a sick world, especially when MBAs and accountants are involved.
