<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 384336, member: 54&quot;]Looking at the auction’s T&amp;C, this para protects the auctioneer so I’d need to take the former owner’s company to court if they aren’t willing to send me the vise.</p><p><br /></p><p>“10. Risk of Loss. Upon the fall of the hammer, or when the Auctioneer says “sold,” or when the internet auction closes, risk of loss shall pass to the Purchaser. (Auctioneer name) accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage to any Purchased item once the hammer falls. It shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser to insure all Purchased items immediately.”</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course I failed to insure the item immediately.&nbsp; That kind of insurance is too expensive.&nbsp; I’ve bought things in countless auctions and this is the first post-payment loss ever.&nbsp; I won some items in a rural Virginia machine shop auction long ago, but some were stolen from the auction site during the auction even before I got to the payment table.&nbsp; So I declined to pay for those items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
