You can't just "sell" government property. Doing so without proper authorization is a federal offense. Everything is accounted for on hand receipts. Anything the government wants to sell would have to go through DRMO (Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office) and offered up to the rest of the government for re- use. Some things are just not work the time or money to pay someone at DRMO to catalog, list, store, test, and re-distribute. If the items sit around long enough without being re-distributed, they can be released to civilians through government auction or sale (like sit around for a LOOOOONG time). It's kinda like, some of the things we did in the pharmacy. Sure I could've sent some expired drugs back and gotten pennies on the dollar for the return, but the postage was more than the drugs were worth. Some things are just easier to throw in the recycling bin than worry about re-sale. The government looks at it the same way. In a trillion dollar budget, what is an Ebay sale of $20 gonna do? And why risk a federal charge of theft for that Ebay sale?
