I've bought from Government Liquidation before. They usually do exactly what they specify. If they says users loads .. it is your job to get the machine moved from where it is to your trailer etc. Don't expect any help at all.
(You might want to ask how close you can get your truck/trailer to the machine.) The Goverment Liquidation people who are there when you load are not Government employees so they have no control over the base equipment - like forklifts etc. But you can ask them questions also via the website add for clarification. Try and get there when you say you will as the Goverment Liquidation people often drive long distances to get to the base and if you tick them off.. it could be a bad situation. Make sure your vehicle and trailer paperwork is in order when you go to the base; insurance, registrations, drivers license etc and auction paperwork that says "Paid" on it.. If you don't have it the base security guys can turn you away - no matter how far you drove. The last Air Force base I went to shuttled my truck and trailer into a heated building specifically made for inspections. They have some sensors in the floor etc and mirrors underneath also. I had to pop the hood, open all of the doors etc so they could look inside. The building was *really* nice. It was big enough to accommodate a full size semi. Government Liquidation also tacks on 10% for a sellers premium on top of the auction price. If no EUC is required ( like this mill ) then you usually need to pick it up within 10 days of payment and they are pretty rigid about that. If an EUC is required (for instance you are buying a military truck) then you can wait for months after you pay to get clearance to receive the item. Then you have 10 days unless you make special arrangements. Most of the people seem to be pretty easy to deal with, but the system is rigid.
