Not just hassle, but very few customers are lined up for the older stuff. In the meantime, it costs something to store it and keep it in preservation, all the while the equipment just keeps getting older and in a poorer state.
We had our M113s, C1 howitzers and AVGPs up for sale for quite some time through a re-marketer. Not many takers in the end.
Customers can be quite picky, even when it comes to freebies. Wikopedia reports that the recipients of the AVGPs were not happy with their maintainability. Even in Afghanistan, the Afghan military returned our 2500 (IIRC) "foreign aid" C7 rifles.
