We highly recommend you hire the recommended riggers. If you do choose to do your own rigging or hire another rigger, you must provide us with satisfactory proof of liability insurance coverage of at least 1 million dollars (more if specified in the auction terms). All buyers are completely responsible for any damage they do to their own equipment or anyone else's property or equipment while rigging. </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:11pt">The Recommended Rigger will make available a rigging price list by request. The list will also be available on auction day. Please note that this quote takes into consideration removing these items individually and in such a way so as they can be used again in the manner they were assembled in. If a buyer purchases multiple items around each other such an entirety of a mill setup, the rigger may be able to improve on the original price. However, you the buyer are responsible for doing your own homework on the rigging costs associated with the items you purchase. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:11pt">Bright Star Auctions is only recommending the rigger to the buyers. If a buyer elects to hire this rigger, they must understand that they are entering into an agreement and hiring him and not hiring Bright Star Auctions. Any issues that come forth from this arrangement are to be resolved between the buyer and the rigger. It is the buyers responsibility to communicate with the rigger any special rigging requests. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:11pt">If the buyer elects to do their own rigging or hire a different rigger, they must communicate and abide by the timelines set forth in this auction. Failure to do so will result in the recommended rigger removing the said item and the buyer will be responsible to pay the price that was set forth on the original quote. They must also provide their own equipment to load the items, or they will be subject to paying a loading fee. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:11pt">The buyer is responsible for providing the trucking/logistics to have his items shipped. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:11pt">Once the rigger completes the job and leaves the auction, the buyers are on their own and may need to bring in their own equipment to loadout. </span></li> </ul> </li></ul> <br> <br> <br> Recommended&nbsp;Rigger: Paul Avery 270-543-1919.<br> &nbsp;<br />...more
