Condition of Equipment – Although most of these items come off their jobs working and functioning well, the items are being sold “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND NEITHER BLACKMON NOR RES MAKES AND WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, NOW OR HEREAFTER, AS TO THE VALUE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR USE OR FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MAINTENANCE OR MARKETABILITY OF THE ITEMS OR THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP IN, OR THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECT IN, THE ITEMS, OR ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. Any guess/estimation of condition printed is based off information gathered from past history but hasn’t been confirmed. Blackmon Auctions sells all items in the traditional auction form, AS IS Where Is/No Warranties or Guarantees regarding condition. A complete mechanical inspection by a qualified professional has not been conducted so there may be issues/imperfections that are not known to us. Our estimations of condition are not to be considered a guarantee of functionality now or into the future. Presumption of functionality beyond the information we are able to provide/determine is the responsibility/liability of the bidder. We hope your auction experience is a successful one!
