Equipment descriptions are based on our direct observation and information provided by our selling customer. All information is intended to be as accurate as possible. However, we recommend customers inspect prior to bidding. Purple Wave listings are not intended to be substitutions for inspection. The details provided may differ on equipment based on information provided by the consignor. An error or omission in the listing will not change the results of the bid. It is the responsibility of the buyer to conduct any inspection and examination necessary to satisfy him of all material facts before placing a bid. All assets, unless stated otherwise, are sold "as-is, where is". Buyers assume all risks at the conclusion of the auction. All sales are final. No refunds given.
