entities to claim equipment, and 99% of the time I post those opportunities (only) here. I just wanted to list what I expect when I hand off those deals to someone. This has never been an issue in the past or present, but figured I'd codify it here. If you respond to me on one of those "equipment available" deals, I'm assuming you agree to do the following: Make contact with the owner in a timely fashion Work out a fair (to both you and the owner) deal to acquire the machines If a deal cannot be reached, let me know quickly so that someone else can be found to make a second attempt Make every effort to obtain/include any documentation/software available with the machines Pick the equipment up in a safe and professional manner with all due care for both the machines and the owners home/building/facilities Actively work to restore the machines to full running condition Ensure that the machines are never destroyed or thrown away Ensure destruction of any owner-specific documentation/software Make available any (non-customer-specific) documentation and/or software to other collectors Ensure that if you ever no longer wish to keep the machine that it winds up in the hands of another collector That's all I ask J J
