[Trainer-talk] item for sale

Fri Nov 16 19:46:39 UTC 2012

Certainly, if they are trying to sell an item while still receiving services from the state, this would not be ok. However, if their case has been closed successfully, either through gainful employment or otherwise, I believe the equipment becomes the property of the consumer. If that is no longer the case, or if this varies from state to state, please correct me.

hi,

you don't get it.
i don't care if someone gave a gift or if you saved your own money to 
purchase a major technical device then sell it when you don't use it or want 
something different.

the issue is with clients of a state agency getting a major technical device 
from tax payer dollars and selling it under that situation!
