a for-parts machine doesn't work

E-Bay has/had an item condition code that had to be selected when listing. Many vintage sellers select "used" which implies it works, and then go onto say it doesn't work in the description. This violates e-bay rules and e-bay may find in favour of the buyer. I hope this quote comes out in the right place but my smart phone wont let me choose.

Depends on how it was advertised I would think. Sellers like to say the system worked until it was parted out making people think if you replace the parts it will work again. If you state it is in unknown condition for parts only then the buyer can't bitch.
