I didn't include computers, phones or printers in my documentation, because it was not purchased new for the project, but was reused from the previous location. I am confused by the response of the LEED reviewer that says "Note that any item that is purchased after the item category has become ENERGY STAR eligible should be included, and any item already covered by the ENERGY STAR program that is purchased after new criteria have been issued should meet the new criteria. " ? Does that mean even if items weren't purchased new for the project that they should be listed if they were purchased after Energy Star began rating them?

As long as you treat existing all existing equipment consistently, you should not need to include equipment that is not purchased as part of the project. If you have used some existing equipment for credit/prerequisite documentation then you will need to include it all.
