The Merchandise is open to thorough public inspection. Bidders who choose not to attend the public inspection understand and acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they examined it in person. It is the Bidder's responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value, or any other determinative factor.

In no event shall RMEB be held responsible for having made or implied any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
