Don’t get burned by a purchase

Auction items are purchased “as is.” That means, of course, no warranty, no returns. Now if you’re buying table linens, it’s no big deal. But anything electrical or mechanical can be a dicier issue. You can often find appliances, power tools, and other such items at country auctions for much less than retail. A good deal isn’t a good deal if you spend more on repairs than you would buying new. That’s when it is more important than ever to be knowledgeable about the item, or bring along someone who is.


All the best,
