A: VSE Corporation provides a brief description of the property offered for sale. This description is to inform bidders of items available for sale and to give bidders enough information to determine if he/she is interested in inspecting the property. Bidders are cautioned that all weights, measurements and descriptions listed online or in a catalog must be considered an approximation and do not create a warranty that the property actually conforms to such description.

Bidders must view or inspect all property they are interested in to obtain firsthand knowledge about these items. Bidders are responsible to obtain these details during the inspection times listed in published advertising or online.
Q: When to inspect?
A. Bidders should inspect property before bidding. The public is allowed to inspect the property, or representative samples, at times scheduled by VSE Corporation.
