TW Conroy strives for full disclosure about condition of items offered at its auction. We note obvious “issues” or problems with lots and include this within the item’s description and seek to show images that show the problems. If no issues are mentioned, then you can rightfully assume that the item is in “good” condition. For this auction, <b>all items are being sold in “as found” condition and all sales are final.</b>
