Interesting piece of history. I was once told by an engineer at Intel that ES parts belong to Intel. And that you really shouldn't sell them. With that said, I have purchased (ebay, etc.) ES CPUs and such. So, I don't think Intel (or whoever) enforces anything.

I sent them an email probably 5-7 years ago now when I found an ES Pentium 4 in a machine I bought from a thrift store. They said they didn't really care what I did with it. I have it in my CPU drawer now because a mishap folded one of the pins at a 90 degree angle, and it snapped clean off when I tried to bend it back.

Sucks because it worked fine, though the clock speed was reported weird at 2.6666 GHz, instead of the final silicon at 2.67 GHz.

They do. But, Intels level of care about people owning them seems to be directly proportional to how current the product they are an ES of is.
