The short version
Your online cash, trade, or rental proposal is non-binding. A sale becomes binding only when final written terms, inspection, payment, and exchange steps are completed. A rental becomes binding only after dates are accepted, the final rental agreement is presented and accepted, required payment is completed, and any handoff requirements are satisfied. The Site never collects payment-card details.
1. Offers and counteroffers
An offer is an invitation for us to continue the discussion. We may accept, reject, counter, or allow it to expire. An item is not held unless we accept the offer or expressly confirm a hold in writing. A counteroffer replaces the prior proposal unless we say otherwise. Clicking Accept counter records your intent to proceed on those counter terms and reserves the listed item or items, but it does not charge you or complete the sale before the remaining written, inspection, payment, and exchange steps are finished.
A multi-item bundle offer is all or nothing: the cash, trade, fulfillment, and counter terms apply to every item listed in that offer as one proposal. Acceptance reserves all listed items together. We do not partially accept, release, or complete a bundle unless both parties replace it with separate written terms.
2. Forming a sale
A binding transaction is formed only after we provide written acceptance or an invoice identifying the items, cash direction and amount, and other agreed terms, and both parties complete the required payment and exchange steps. Any additional agreed terms, including pickup timing, included accessories, title documents, or delivery, should be written in the acceptance or invoice.
For a bundle, one accepted total and any agreed pickup, delivery, or shipping fee apply to the full listed group. One payment does not entitle the buyer to substitute or remove individual items unless the written acceptance expressly says so.
3. Secure payment
If you owe cash under an accepted offer, we send a Square-hosted payment request for the exact accepted amount plus any clearly disclosed taxes or agreed fees. If we owe cash as part of an accepted trade, payment method and timing must be confirmed separately in writing after inspection. Do not send card numbers, bank details, passwords, or security codes through this Site, email, text, or an offer note. Square processes buyer payments under its own terms and privacy notice.
3A. Rental requests and availability
A rental request must identify one rental-enabled item, proposed start and return dates, a total rental price, and intended use. Dates are not held when a request is submitted. Accepting a rental request reserves only the approved date range, and the item may remain listed for non-overlapping rental dates or other proposals. We may reject dates or uses based on availability, condition, insurance, safety, transport, or other business considerations.
3B. Final rental agreement, payment, and deposit
Before payment, the renter receives the final dates, approved use, handoff instructions, rental fee, delivery or pickup fee, refundable damage deposit, applicable tax, total due, and item-specific agreement. The renter must accept that agreement before choosing Square payment or approved cash on pickup. A deposit is not the limit of the renter's responsibility. After timely return and inspection, we will document any deductions for loss, theft, damage beyond agreed wear, cleaning, missing parts, prohibited use, late return, or other agreed charges and return the remaining refundable balance within a reasonable time.
3C. Rental use, condition, return, and responsibility
The renter must be at least 18, provide accurate identity and contact information, use the item only for the approved lawful purpose, follow manufacturer and owner safety instructions, keep it under responsible supervision, and not sublet, transfer, alter, repair, pledge, or take it outside any agreed area without written permission. Photo ID may be required at handoff. The parties may photograph or record condition, included parts, serial information, and meter readings at pickup and return.
The item must be returned on time, to the agreed location, in the same condition except ordinary wear expressly allowed by the agreement. The renter is responsible for loss, theft, damage, unauthorized use, fines, claims arising from possession or use, late return, recovery costs, and the agreed replacement value, to the extent permitted by law. The renter should maintain any insurance required by the final agreement. Higher-risk items may be excluded from rental until we confirm suitable insurance, safety, and operating requirements.
4. Trade items and inspection
Any value entered for a trade item is your estimate and is not an appraisal or an accepted value. Every trade proposal is conditional on our in-person inspection and verification of ownership, identity, condition, serial or identification information when applicable, included parts, title status, safety, authenticity, and lawful transferability. We may reject the trade or revise our proposal if the item differs from the submission or cannot be lawfully accepted.
You represent that you own the trade item free of undisclosed liens and claims, have authority to transfer it, and that it is not stolen, counterfeit, recalled without an available remedy, hazardous, or otherwise unlawful to transfer. You must disclose known defects, damage, missing parts, safety issues, and title or ownership limitations.
5. Used property; AS-IS exchange
UNLESS WE EXPRESSLY PROMISE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, EACH ITEM IS USED AND SOLD "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE WRITTEN ITEM DESCRIPTION AND ANY EXPRESS WRITTEN PROMISE WE MAKE.
You may request additional photos or information and should inspect the item before taking possession. This paragraph does not excuse fraud, concealment of a known material fact, or any obligation that cannot lawfully be waived.
6. Pickup, exchange, and risk
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, purchases, exchanges, and rental handoffs occur by appointment in the Joplin, Missouri area. You are responsible for safe loading, transport, measurements, and determining suitability for the intended location or use. No party should surrender possession until inspection is complete, written terms are confirmed, and required payment is complete. Ownership and risk of loss for a sale transfer when each party takes possession unless the written acceptance says otherwise; ownership of a rental item always remains with us.
7. Returns, refunds, and abandoned items
Because items are unique and used, sales are generally final after payment and pickup. We will honor any written return promise and rights required by law, including a remedy when an item materially differs from an express written description. Rentals must be returned as required by the final agreement; late or non-return may lead to additional charges, loss of deposit, recovery of the item, replacement-value claims, collections, or lawful reporting. If a paid purchase is not collected by the agreed deadline, we will make a reasonable attempt to contact you before applying any written storage, cancellation, or refund arrangement.
8. Safety and restricted items
We do not knowingly offer unlawful, recalled, counterfeit, stolen, or unsafe property. Do not use an item in a way that is unlawful or contrary to manufacturer safety guidance. Contact us before purchase if you have a safety, recall, authenticity, or ownership concern.
