Agreed. I think the general consensus among the law-reading types was that a seller cannot legally get a buyer to sign away their rights, and that if it came down to it the seller would still be liable. Certainly if it wasn't mentioned in the auction then the seller can't try to squirm out of it later, but I'm not sure how much legal weight such a provision in the auction would carry. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
