There is no way that Able Auctions is going to be found negligent for not wiping hard drives on stuff they are hired to sell. They are not computer technicians, they are auctioneers selling whole computers - whether they start or not, and what if anything is on them, is outside scope. Not to mention, I guarantee their agreements to list equipment will disclaimer them out of anything close to this.
