I have bought a few 'as is ' items from ebay and all have worked. I agree that the seller probably has no way of testing and doesn't want to ‎negatively affect his rating with negative comments. Selling 'as is' is a safe bet for non coco sellers

I think nighttime me was trying to scare off other bidders by denigrating
the device, morning me thinks nighttime me is a dirt-bag.

I'm sure it will work fine.
