As-Is, What does it mean?

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

I guess who would win, is a moot point. The guy with the best lawyer usually wins; in the right or not. In today's business atmosphere "right" doesn't always prevail. This item wasn't damaged in transit, was it? I would take the expression,"as is" to mean no warranty, maybe some cosmetic flaws,or operational quirks, minor in nature; but definitely working. If the term precedes the condition; that is one thing.This, to me, describes something that needs fixing. When used as a tag line;I would assume; it works well enough. Some carefully applied feedback seems all you're left with.Under such conditions;to bad you didn't back out before the money changed hands;sorry,I'm sure you already know that.

When somenone says, "As is", I ask him what he is representing. If he says nothing, wish him good luck.

As is means no warranties express or implied unless agreed to by the parties prior to the transaction. But, it doesn't prevent you from requesting a representation that the unit actually works.
