I hate to contradict your thoughts but you are 180 degrees on the other side of my belief as both a seller of high dollar mid market equipment and as a buyer. If you provide the pick up slip and there is an issue; then you have the broken, now junk, and have to chase insurance. You in effect have taken the problem of a seller and taken it on yourself. If it is broke, the seller has no power to chase the insurance if you provide the slip, therefore he/she is indemnified as you took away the sellers responsibility. If the seller pays and it arrives broke; its his/her problem and all you get is your money back.
