I guess who would win, is a moot point. The guy with the best lawyer usually wins; in the right or not. In today's business atmosphere "right" doesn't always prevail. This item wasn't damaged in transit, was it? I would take the expression,"as is" to mean no warranty, maybe some cosmetic flaws,or operational quirks, minor in nature; but definitely working. If the term precedes the condition; that is one thing.This, to me, describes something that needs fixing. When used as a tag line;I would assume; it works well enough. Some carefully applied feedback seems all you're left with.Under such conditions;to bad you didn't back out before the money changed hands;sorry,I'm sure you already know that.
As-Is, What does it mean?
This seems like a very basic question, but a friend and I got into a disscussion over a espresso machine I bought at a flea market. I suppose this same question could apply to audio buying as well.
Say, you ask a person several questions about a product including "does it work" and each and every question is answered to the effect that what they are selling is working and perfect. Just before money changes hand, the seller says "this sale is as-is". You go home and try the product and it is DOA. Can his "as-is" statement cover him if he lied about everything? I mean, say the seller was taken in to court, who do you think would prevail legally?
thanks
