Escrow Sales Terms and Conditions
Inspection of gear - this is a critical as we must ensure that the equipment is fit for purpose and accurately advertised.
During this inspection we identify any Service Bulletins that may be as yet un-actioned, any wear and tear that requires rectification prior to sale and an overall indication of the value of the equipment in the current market.
If work is required to bring the gear up to a good airworthy condition this will be discussed with you ‘the seller’ and required work must be completed prior to advertising your items. If you were buying any equipment you would want this to be the case.
The inspection is conducted at our regular hourly rate of $110/hour with estimates of time for inspection shown below per item. Times can vary but we are very experienced and our customers find the estimates are accurate or over-estimated for 99% of inspections.

Reserve Inspection
Where the current reserve repack and inspection was completed at Mee Loft and the repack is still in date there is no further need for us to inspect the reserve or open the container for inspection.
Where the last inspection and repack was conducted elsewhere we are required to open the reserve to confirm the current condition of the equipment prior to advertising.
Shipping
The seller is responsible for shipping costs to Mee Loft. Shipping from Mee Loft to the buyer is at the buyer’s expense unless otherwise negotiated.
Advertising cost: - $350 for complete rig / $150 for single component (i.e. container or canopy or AAD) / $35 for all accessories. This is an upfront fee that must be paid for prior to the commencement of advertising.
Payment for goods
Payments for the purchase of your items will be paid directly to the you by the buyer. Please ensure you provide your BSB, account number and SWIFT/BIC code. If you have PAYPAL or PayID please also include your account details so we can offer the buyer a quicker method to pay you.
Unsold gear
If the gear remains unsold at the end of the 6 months advertising period, the seller must collect the gear, or it will be shipped at the owner's expense.
