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

Sounds as if you bought an espresso from a Lawyer. (just kidding!) Personally, would have to walk away from anyone who has to add this to a sale... Would tend to think there are strings/problems with product/seller if this is said. Best, Charlie
