WINNING BIDDER NOTIFICATION:

Notification of items won will be sent to you ONLY by email. It is the buyers responsibility to check your email (it may be necessary to check junk/spam email folder.)  We can not control delivery quality with every email server, so you need to check your “invoice” list from your dashboard.

CAUTION TO THE BIDDER:

For demonstration purposes, various pieces of equipment may be joined together. Do not assume a lot consists of more than one item simply because they are connected in a photo. You are bidding on the item as it is described and not the item in the photo. L & L Family Estate Sales makes an effort to ensure the descriptions are accurate and the photos match as well. However, an error can occur in the listing and in that case it will be the description and not the photo that will be the item won. If you feel there is a discrepancy or error between a listing and a photo, contact L & L Family Estate Sales for clarification and notification of error.

L & L Family Estate Sales will do our best to describe the item to the best of our ability.  However L & L Estate Sales are not experts on  the items listed. L & L Family Estate Sales will also identify any damage, chips or cracks if we observe it. 

It is the BUYERS responsibility to do their research on the items prior to bidding. We encourage you to come to the preview to look at the items prior to the auction close.  Please email or contact the auction managers if you have any questions.

This sale is to the business community as equipment and inventory without any implied or expressed warranty. Descriptions are believed to be accurate but not guaranteed. When not certain of the condition or use of an item, please bid accordingly and utilize inspection times.

CHOOSE WISELY:

We want everyone to get a good deal, and most will. However, when you bid on the wrong item or decide an item is not suited for your intended use, our clients are not willing to assume the cost of your mistake. Once bidding ends, the item is contractually sold to the highest bidder and that item is the buyers property.
