BREYER, Chief Judge.
In December 1986, Michael and Maureen Putnam bought four condominiums in a Newburyport apartment complex as an investment. In July 1989, they sued the sellers and financers. They claimed that the salesman had lied to them about the apartments. And, they asked for rescission, restitution, and damages. The trial court entered a judgment for rescission and restitution, but not for damages. Several of the parties appeal. We affirm the trial court's judgment.
