I have to agree with this.  The terms were clearly stated.  The buyer
is quite obviously taking a gamble on whether the device will work at
all, and the price on these types of auctions will most always reflect
that.  If you want to be sure to get a device that is working, buy one
that is described as working and you'll have every right to demand
that you get such a device.  That's not the case here.

I'm not at all glad that the gamble didn't work out for Bill, but I
don't think there was any misconduct on the part of the sellers from
what I've heard.
